Hello from the UK...
« on: September 17, 2013, 08:26:33 AM »
Hi - we've just joined the ranks of CB400 owners (Well my wife Sue has).  We've bought a late model F2 in Parakeet Yellow, 17,000 miles, one owner, really good condition but not restored.

Looking forward to riding it.

First jobs I think are a precautionary tank clean and rust-treatment, figure out if I can fit an in-line filter, then have some fun with it!!

Welcome.  Very nice looking bike.  And, I hope you have fun with it.

But, I wonder why you are only adding one fuel filter.  Including the in-tank filter, that only makes two.  Surely five or six filters between the petrol source and the carbs would be better?
