Those are not for your bike they are for the cb400 "super four" from the late '80's/ '90's.
The cb400f did not have 41mm tubes.

David Silver has for tubes for the '75-77 cb400f

Just got back from Dublin/Belfast and Armagh, what a great country!

Crap good thing you noticed that, i never even read the thing properly just saw cb400 and looked no further.

Glad you like Ireland anyway, see any ''Leprechauns'' on your travels  ;D ;D ;)
