Featured Honda 400/4

Your lucky,, both mine are goosed

 

Unfortunately my left leg is the only good bit.

 

:-( sorry to hear that

 

I'm still riding, that's all that matters

 

Grrrr progress as of 2/07/2022.

 

The reasons for the poor running/and non starting has been revealed. Previous owners mechanical incompetence and lies exposed.
Would have been nice to have been informed of the yoshimura modifications lol,that worked out well !!!!
Why anyone throws1000s into buying quality replacement part's then, with zero skills with the spanners ,ruins a project.
Thankfully all the faults can be resolved and I can enjoy getting the wee honda sorted properly, I'm a great believer in doing it right and doing it once.
So if the numpty from Cylnder, up near Faslane is reading this, take heed, this is how it should be done, and hopefully you will be more honest with any future sales you attempt.

 

Going on 13months.. and hopefully only a month or 2 to go (famous last words)

 

15months in now, getting somewhere, I hope.

 

Quick update. 18months and a ton of money wasted, trusting a honda "specialist" in Daventry with this rebuild. It was returned in a shocking condition but is now being done properly. It can be viewed on Instagram, the guy is Anthony at Rust to Resto.

 

Wow - it was looking good in the previous 15 months post. What went wrong?

 

Basically everything, anyone who has any interest in Hondas, yip I know this is a triumph forum, but please do your homework and give Honda classics restoration a body swerve,, untrustworthy and I wouldn't let them service my lawn mower.

Spot the difference,,

 

All coming together,, fingers crossed

 

Definitely think ive earned a big rum for my patience and persevering with this past 3years refurbishment,, would never go down this road again.bloody money pit, , need a couple of dry days to see how it goes.

 

Looks amazing - you’ll get over the cost (if you’ve done it - you can afford/have afforded it) soon enough whereas the enjoyment you'll have of owning and riding this will last forever. Money is only for spending

 

It might have been a money pit, but you must surely give yourself a BIG pat on the back, as that looks absolutely stunning. Brilliant job I say.

 

Thank you, I'm chuffed how it's turned out but I have to say I didn't do any of the engine work, all i done was the easy bits, the engine was done by Rust to Resto in leyland lancs. It's now tucked up nicely along side the speed triple

 

Tucked up nicely alongside the speed triple ?????
Fuck that for a game of soldiers, I'd want that tucked up in bed with me.

 

Always the same,out of hibernation, fresh super unleaded in the 400/4 and thunderstorms are imminent
