CB400f bolt list
« on: December 28, 2015, 01:44:10 PM »
Hi

I am looking at replacing all my bolts with stainless steel ones. Has some one been through the exercise of working out all the bolt sizes and lengths?

I have tried to find the rear shock acorn nuts.  I did find some 10mm nuts x 1.00mm but they are no good. I think I need 1.25mm

Any help appreciated

The shock nuts are still available from Honda for a few bucks each. There are resellers on EBay that sell partial and full SS bolt kits for the CB 400F.
You can also do a bolt count off a parts fiche if no one has the correct sizes and quantities. I did that a few months back and found a local wholesaler with a very good pricing that made it worth the extra work.
The EBay ones are a reasonable deal and saves all the sourcing and work if no one else has the count. I didn't save the paper that I used for the purchase so can't help you, although there are 3-4 main sizes and just a few 50mm and 60mm ones needed.
Common sense.....isn't so common!

When you say, "All The Bolts" do you really mean, all? Including all case bolts, engine mounts, caliper, meter mounts, doohickey, and thing-a-ma-bob fasteners? Or, do you mean certain bolts for asthetics? You can replate many bolts and though not SS they will look new.

I guess I should have been more specific. I was planning to do it in two goes.  The chassis bolts and anything fitted to it. The second go was going to be the external engine bolts.

I am living in Australia and the bolt kits look great on eBay but the freight can put them over the top.

I have had some bolts replated e.g. Swing arm bolt just because I didn't think I could get on of them new

I ran across an engine bolt list today while looking for carb bolt sizes. I'll try and see if I can hunt it down and report back. Otherwise I have a stainless bolt set in the mail to me - I will take inventory of that when it arrives and post the sizes in the set.
