A big welcome from another 400four owner, restorer and driver.  +1 on what James said; a nice selection.   Could do with some photos.

Welcome to the forum, your bike looks bright and blingy. My 1st CB400/4, some 38 years ago (ouch  :'() was in Parakeet yellow, still love that colour.

Welcome from me too Rob.
It must have been around 1979, so that's 38 years ago, that I first rode a 400/4 (my younger brother's).
Took me until 2014 to get my own though!
He also has a [much modified] one on the road and another more original one awaiting rebuild, plus several other bikes in various states.
Oh, and I don't know where the picture of your 400/4 is/was, I can't seem to see it.

Very nice looker that.  Did you restore it yourself or did you purchase it in that condition?   How long have you owned it? 
Do tell

Yes, looks a nice bike.
What's with the throttle cables, they look to have a bit of excess length in them!

Welcome from me too.

Now time to get rid of that tax disc. They always looked ugly, even in the correct position.... unless of course it's structural!😉

Great forum for technical advice, etc.

Cheers, D.
