I some vinyl logo's made for my 77F to put on the Yamiya yellow side covers.

Don R · « **Reply #201 on:** May 25, 2016, 02:46:54 PM »

New on the left, original on the right. The new one is a Yamiya repop, purchased already yellow, Somewhere around $100/ set shipped, no painting but no logo either!

$100 for a set of painted side covers is cheap. How's the quality? Are they plastic or fiberglass?
Reinforced?

A good vinyl graphics shop would put the graphics together on one transfer sheet so you don't have much trouble aligning it all twice... Granted you have some outlines to go by after the first one is down, but with registration marks when printed and weeded you can align them easily with some practice and they will have uniform black outlines. My ex worked and still works for a printing and vinyl sign industry.

Any recommendations on a headlight bulb for a 76 400F? Has anyone installed a 750 headlight on a 400 bracket? It appears it would need spread 1/4" per side.

Sorry $200 shipped still not bad. They appear original except I think the originals were yellow plastic and these are painted plastic.

sounds about right as to how far to spread Don.

Regarding the headlight question I bought a $40 reproduction headlight using a modern H4 bulb from 4 into 1 he has the headlight on at this price regularly. It is a metal bucket and glass front and works much better than the stock sealed beam bulb 35watt unit.
I did have to modify the bottom cutout hole a fair bit in the new bucket to get it around the headlight mounting/signal stem set up the CB400 uses. It fit well after the mods and no bending of the bracket was needed.
I used the same headlight on the CB350F I did last year and it just bolted right up as the headlight ear mounts are more normal on the CB350F.
Here is a side view of the headlight on the CB400F I just finished last month.

I hope to have it running by next spring. We're having a new garage built so all projects are on hold.

Don R · « **Reply #214 on:** July 18, 2016, 10:53:25 PM »

I ran out of time, the new owner is coming to pick it up in the morning along with another yellow 400F, A K4 750 and a cl 100.

I have a fond memory of riding a friends cb400 long ago. Did figure 8's around the parking lot where we worked when I was 19.

That began a ten year journey to find my own cb.

gwallis · « **Reply #216 on:** November 21, 2017, 06:29:21 AM »

Well...since you showed me yours... I will show you mine...

In fact I have more than five bikes right now and I want to sell this one; but I do not know what I should ask for it.

It is a 1977 CB400F Super Sport... very clean and mostly stock... with 7,800 miles on the clock.

Update. Over a year ago I sold both 400's a 750 and a cl100 to fund my Drag car repairs.

However, I'm hot on the trail of a sweet red 75 400F and hope to buy it tomorrow. With any luck film at 11.

I'm always ready to drool over 400 pic's HTFU!

I had a beautiful 1974 CB350F I did not have anything to do to. It had only 218 original miles on the clock when I bought it for $2,500.-
My wife did not want to ride it, so I sold it a year later for $5,200.-

Don R · « **Reply #221 on:** March 25, 2018, 12:11:04 PM »

That thing is sweet mike. I doubled my money on a 350 but I'm not going to say how cheap. Never even unloaded it from my truck.

My bank machine let me down, won't accept my pin # so we're on for 5 tomorrow. She's a beauty except with a small Vetter that matches. I'll remove it, not a Vetter hater, I have one on my 78 wing but that's my long ride bike.

Don R · « **Reply #222 on:** March 26, 2018, 01:34:15 AM »

The one I'm trying to buy has a vindicator fairing. I'm hoping they didn't cut off the front turn signal stalks. I'll know tomorrow at 5.

Flyin900 · « **Reply #223 on:** March 26, 2018, 11:48:52 AM »

Close to finished here with the tank and side covers back from paint and just a few more items such as the gas cap and petcock installation. I need to get it out of the basement and into the garage in the next week and get the bike started and a set up of the carbs and timing.
This was a full rebuild of the entire bike including the motor and every component and part replaced or refreshed along with a few hundred hours of labour in the restoration. It will be sold in the spring, as I have other bikes that I prefer to ride and enjoy.
