'75-'76-'77 CB400f

I'm looking for people who have or know a lot about the CB400f SS. I have one myself, but would like to finds some good resources to direct questions to and to find parts.

I have done lots of work on my 74CB 550, they share a lot of parts. PM me if you are looking for something specific. Can you post any pics of your project in it's current status?

Thanks for the reply,

actually the 400 is in pretty good shape and it's my daily driver right now. I am just triing to find a few connections so when i do need something I don't have to spend time looking for solid info.

you may know this, is there such thing as a master link for a cam chain?

I would say definitely not, unless some previous owner had put one in. A master link always includes the possibly of the Plate Retaining Clip on the Master Link coming off and the chain ends separating. Annoying enough when it happens to the Final Drive Chain, but on a Cam Chain it would surely be disastrous!

Footnote: Actually did own a CB400F (SOHC Four) at one time, I’m thinking a 1975? Nice little scoot. Was trying to teach a lady how to ride at the time. She wasn’t hurt at least, but I crashed and burned (i.e., Failed!). Ah well….

Hey i posted in the other 400Four thread... Ive got 3 myself. Lookin for some front fork springs and some coils...L coil is backordered and springs are hard to find. I

ve got 3 of these bikes (one for parts) and i dont wanna take to much off it because its only a matter of time before shes on the road also.



If anyone knows a good source for aftermarket Fork springs i appreciate the info.

OldBikeBarn.com has a lot of parts for vintage bikes, have you check there?

I just purchased mine from PROGRESSIVE shocks, google them. They were WELL WORTH the money!

6 months later still on the search for new Fork Springs and a L coil!

hmmm.... i seem to have already said this... but go HERE http://www.progressivesuspension.com/ and buy them. They are the best in the industry. They have springs to fit EVERY bike/fork setup and can even recommend alternative load springs if you want a different ride. They are a great company to work with. There is NOONE else selling this stuff NOS for these types of older bikes. So, suffice it to say, you are going to have to break down and pony up the cashola to buy one heck of a great set of springs.

Is that clear enough?

Ok... I checked it out...The only thing they were able to offer me was rear suspension... nothing under Front fork springs for my model...So no...not clear enough..

Thanks sally.
