Topic: cb400F shifter fab question.

[Don R]

 I bought a cb400f shifter and only got the back foot lever part. I'm assuming the shifter spline is standard to something common so I should be able to cut down another shift lever, weld on a heavy wall tube, drill out the factory swivel end on the pedal and make a new rod with 2 new heim ends. Does that make sense and has anyone done it? 

 It seems like I read someone put 400F pegs and pedals on a 500 recently.

Here you go Don a pic of just the shifter as it sits complete. Someone may have a spare to offer you to save a custom fab job.

 Thanks flyin. I actually have a 400 here, it needs a part from this set for the brake side but I'm thinking of another project for this set of pedals and pegs.

  I'd assume most guys that have a shifter would prefer to keep it all together but there could be a front half floating around.

The shifter you have is probably from a 77-400f2, they are not the same.

I think the spline is common to almost any Honda from Trail 90s to CB750s, and some Kawasaki's, and possibly other makes.

 I believe it was a 77, had the yellow tank because I got it too. I'll do the homework then. Hoping for the lazy mans answer. lol.

 Thanks for the input Scottly. Frankly, my idea was to build a 500 super sport to lure an old 500 guy into riding again.

The 77 f2 is the rare one, something like 3500us and 1500can were made 40 years ago.....

Yet they are less desirable than the 75-76. Oh well.
