The work is going veeeeerrrry slowly, unfortunately! Pressure of work has meant that the rebuild, and work on this site, has had to take a bit of a back-seat. We’ll get there eventually though!

One interesting discover this month though - have discovered that the 400/4 is possibly a 1975 model, and not a 1977 as originally thought. The bike was imported into the UK (in bits!) from California sometime in the late 1980s, and was subsequently given an (apparently) age-appropriate British registration mark (NFS 772T if you’re interested!! - ‘T’ reg corresponds to 1977/78 in the UK) and documents also stating that it was a 1977 model. However, I downloaded some strange and rather random Dutch handbook that lists all the VIN and engine numbers for Hondas going way back in time, and gives corresponding years of manufacture - according to this, mine is a 1975 vintage, which is cool!!

Anyway…good luck with your rebuild. Keep us posted on how you’re getting on, and please feel free to send a some piccies!!
