All very minor things. the first pic would need to be plastic welded, sanded and sprayed. provided the colour can be matched then it wouldn't be too expensive.

The second pic might require sanding, spraying and new graphics. In which case cleaning it and polishing it is probably your best bet.

The last pic just needs sanding and spraying.

What is wrong with the top pic?

And you can buy kevlar/carbon fibre engine casings for CBR400's!

Nothing really needs fixing. Would need closer inspection to know for sure though.

Does the RHS casing leak oil? I had a slip in the winter and the inspection/ engine turning over hole (the silver alloy circle in the middle of the case) started leaking. Cost about £10. As for the actual casing, if it's not leaking it'll be ok. Mine has scratches like that on both sides, fine.

About 35-40 for a 2nd hand RHS casing if it is fuubared. Plus another £10 for the gasket. And about 2 hours scraping off the old one. Rolling Eyes

Plastics don't look bad at all, bit of glue/paint and they will be looking smart again.

www.400greybike.co.uk for 2nd hand parts.

On the above website’s forum there is a guy called Graeme France, he's prepares track 400s and has a lot of bikes around. He does 2nd hand parts the cheapest I have found. Thumbs Up
