Replacement fork options for CB400F
« on: August 03, 2017, 07:51:58 PM »
Need to replace a set of forks on a 1975 CB 400F and wonder what other Honda model may have the same size and type of forks. I was thinking the CB 350/360 twin from the same years or possibly another model. I believe they are a 33mm for tube.

Thank you I would like to find a less expensive option than the EBay prices for the 400F models and the CB 360 should be available in larger quantities.

You're right, lowers are slightly different, 350F has the chrome cover and the 400F has the rubber seal, but the tops are the same and they'd be a direct swap.
