Hi my name is Paul thanks for for letting me join. I’ve just purchased a 1975 cb400f that been stood for some time but in fairly good condition considering, I’m looking forward to doing a full strip down and rebuild hopefully with the help on this site. Cheers again.

Welcome and you’ve chosen the most helpful forum on the planet to be a part of, well done

Everyone likes a question and loads of piccies, we’re all a bit of a bugger for a picture so after your 5th post you’ll be able to pop them up.

Loads of 400 info on here and if you get a chance check out Nurse Julie’s 400 build thread, it’s got the greatest how to instructions and photos in it, a real help if you’re going to go for it.

Have fun

Welcome I found Julie's 400 project full of very good information. I also found the series of U Tube Videos by Too old to die Young helpful.
