CB400f Throttle/switches swap
« on: May 31, 2013, 11:00:35 PM »
I need a throttle and switches for the CB400f. Are there other models of CB's that used the same push/pull throttle set up? It need to get something on this one. doesn't have to be Honda as long as it is push/pull compatible with the Honda cables and have ON/OFF/START. I'm looking for a cheap one as I'm running out of  money for this build.

You can find new oem ones, there about $90.  Cheap one will not function the same.  The oem style shuts the headlight off when u engage the starter button.

Cheap one will function how I wire it.  Did all the CB400fs headlight come on with the switch? Mine will be wired OFF/ON/HIGH

I thought all CB switchgear was interchangeable. My lighting switch has off/sidelight/headlight. Left switch has the dimmer.

Like so.

All I think. I haven't had a push cable in 26 years.

All US CB400's have no off for the headlight, uk had an off.  You either have a uk switch or on oem part.

Would they not both be OEM switches?
