Touche'
I forgot about those (pretty rare now?
 I'm liking Harley Davidson brake washer seals for last several years.

Does anyone know if the copper sealing washers--the 8mm one on the fork bottoms, and the smaller one for the drain hole--can be replaced with washers from the hardware store, or are they a special size that should be ordered from Honda?  I noticed the 8mm washers are the same on all the 4's but the smaller washers have a different part number for the 400f and are discontinued...

Thanks
Replace them with aluminum washers if possible.
Copper and aluminum sets up the worst corrosion potential.
