Hi from South Somerset in the UK
« on: May 19, 2022, 01:18:58 AM »
After many years of not having a CB400F, I now own one!
I have had many bikes over the years but always seemed to go for something else, whether BMW's, MotoGuzzi's, Suzukis and other Honda's.
Not too much to do but a full check over will be first...

Hi, Matthew!
That looks like FUN!
See SOHC4shop@gmail.com for info about the gadgets I make for these bikes.

The demons are repulsed when a man does good. Use that.
Blood is thicker than water, but motor oil is thicker yet...so, don't mess with my SOHC4, or I might have to hurt you.

Well, the bike appears to be in much better condition that I thought.
The tank is off being repainted and decals applied (as are the side panels)
There are a few bits missing (of course, the bits you can't get!!) like air box, tool tray, tool tray lid etc.
Fuel tap seized due to perished rubbers and the clocks need attention.....
Apart from that the rest seems fine.
