CB400 SuperSport Mudguard wanted
« on: January 14, 2023, 01:19:51 PM »
The chromed section of my rear mudguard  has lots of rust spots and holes where the various panels come together. It needs replacing. Before I go spending £200+ on an American style aftermarket replacement, I was wondering if anybody has a respectable unit laying around. If you have, please let me know details.

Many thanks.

Getting difficult to find good original ones, sounds like it’s in similar condition to the one that was on my 550k3. Managed to source a good original one from states. Usually they haven’t suffered the same corrosion as in this country. Good luck finding one anyway.

Have you tried Classic Bike Shop Ltd in Redditch  Tel. no 01527454158
I recently bought a rear chrome mudguard for my 400/4, it looks every bit the same as the original Honda UK fitment.
I haven’t got rid of the original front or rear and intend to see if they will stand rechroming in the future.

Thanks - I have seen them advertised (along with DSS) and they may be where I end up going. Just hoping (beyond hope?) there may be a more "cost effective" solution.

Thanks for responding.

I’ve looked at no end of rechromers who advertise, the prices they quote are expensive mostly due to the chemicals,electricity used and amount of hours to get a good result, this is not guaranteed if the original is in very poor pitted or corroded through condition. Much as I would like to have gone that route initially once cost factors are fully explored the option was to go for new. I have to say the front and rear mudguards look to be very well chromed. It is after all your call as to what you want to do.
Good luck.
