Description
1978 Honda 400 Four F2. Antares Red, 34, 500 miles.
This bike was stored at a dealer then in a friend’s garage from 1996 until lockdown, when I bought it. I have carried out a comprehensive rebuild / recommissioning that includes:
New tyres and tubes, rear rim and spokes, new front spokes.
Fork seals replaced, new oil.
New rear shocks.
New front brake master and slave cylinders, hoses and brake pads.
New rear brake pads.
New clutch and cable.
New throttle cables.
Carbs fully refurbished with new floats, jets, etc. New fuel filter and hose.
New carb rubbers.
New air filter.
Engine oil changed, new filter.
Tappets set.
New high capacity battery.
Elec. ignition.
New plugs, plug caps and coils.
Complete new exhaust (headers and silencer).
Running and riding but it is reluctant to start and has a slight misfire, so it needs fettling/ setting up properly, I think I have the floats set too low.
Selling now to make some space in the garage and to finance my Land Rover rebuild.
