hello from ireland
« on: November 10, 2011, 10:18:57 AM »
hi all,
bought a 1978 400f a few months ago for my 66 birthday.
the bike had been imported into ireland about 6 years ago and neglected by its next couple of owners'
i have no history but i think that the bike was rebuilt in the uk to an original spec.
the only non original parts that i can spot are instruments that seem to be from a cb350/360t and pirana ignition(which helps me date the rebuild),
i have got a good lot of info by reading the posts here and solved most of the problems, lights brakes etc.
