Found on eBay, I'm puzzled.
« on: July 15, 2011, 05:24:48 AM »
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1977-HONDA-CB400F-LOW-MILES-CB-400-FOUR-NO-RESERVE-/120748309679?pt=US_motorcycles&hash=item1c1d28fcaf

Something just doesn't seem right about this, 1977 F2 seller states all original, paint etc is correct but the frame looks an earlier one, pillion footrests on swingarm, or did the US market have that? also no mention of indicators being non-standard, but that's only a minor issue.

You're close to my daughter then, it is from a saved eBay search I have on her zip code.

The VIN on the steering head has a 1977 sticker and I think an F2 number, the gas tank is an F2 1977 with the cover over the cap, all UK bikes from 75-77 had rear sets, not sure when US had them, I thought only early bikes 75 had the pillion rests on swing arm.
