I assume you mean the tensioner(s) DS used to list them iirc.

Hi,
If you have a look on the CMSNL site - Honda - CBFours - CB 400 and see if you can find the description and part number of what you need, then one of us might have something. Or as Ted says, DS might have something,

Check the 250/360 G5 &T parts fiche as well as they used a similar system and you may find a used one of those easier, especially in US, dont forget the 350 four

What about 14550-369-020. Looks almost the same just not got the rubber end on it.

From what I've read the 369 part has a larger flat spotted area where the lock bolt engages, that could mean more adjustment is possible

I looked in the same place the other day Julie, same answer off course, I hope it isn't an 'orphaned' item. My bike goes in for a rebuild tomorrow primarily because the gaskets are leaking like a Brit bike but I've bought in a new cam chain and all tensioner items horseshoe included, however I have to hope  & pray the push bar is actually ok.  ::) I've tried everywhere I can think of except to ask DS if they have a 2nd hand one. I've had a couple of used parts of DS.

To be honest George, there isn't much that can go wrong with the push bar, hopefully yours will be OK.
