CB350/400 / CB400F Air Cleaner Lid

« on: March 25, 2024, 10:30:48 PM »

Until i can afford/find a replacement lid for the air cleaner i was going to fabricate something for temporary .

I remembered i had a bag of old Phone covers and cases so i thought i would give it a try.

Just so happens a Galaxy Samsung S22 lid with a Patch on the camera window snaps down on the housing perfectly!
It doesn't look to bad either.

CB350/400 / 1975 CB400F Rear Tank Rubber

« on: March 22, 2024, 05:10:28 PM »

I am wondering If I am missing something simple here with removal and Installing the Rubber over the rear of the tank on my1975 CB400F?

When removing the tank for the first time a couple months ago i broke the rubber trying to pull it back far enough to clear the Tab .

I bought a new OEM Honda rubber. Putting it on the first time seemed like a super long stretch. Then when removing there is nothing really to grab on to. Using a hook i got it out far enough to get my fingers on it. Seems like the tab on the tank could be a quarter of its length.

Am i missing something ?

On the other Honda models its very easy

Project Board / Engine side cover finishes

« on: January 22, 2024, 01:44:42 AM »

My new 1975 CB400F has all the indications that the engine side covers are all painted Cloud Silver and not Polished. Is this correct? all the Pictures i have researched online (BAT, Google) show all the bikes i can find have painted covers. My CB360T has all painted covers as well.My CB550,750 have polished covers. Thanks

CB350/400 / My 1975 CB400F restoration project

« on: January 14, 2024, 10:06:05 PM »

Hi all i am going to start this thread documenting my recently acquired CB400F Restoration project.
I picked up this bike a couple months ago locally in Seattle for a Very good price. It has just over 20K miles on the clock. It had lots of corrosion and wear that you would expect from a 49 year old bike.

I was able to ride it over the last couple months to make sure it runs good and does not smoke. great compression and pulls very strong. Didn't know it was a six speed until my second ride. also nothing sounds like these small SOHC 4's.

I have been collection new parts,pieces and fasteners from EBAY, CMS.NL and David Silver Spares. I love to restore back to Factory Original as possible

here are a couple pics before and in progress

I just finished the Gauges on the CB400F. Thanks to Tips and tricks from this forum i managed to get it done without destroying anything . The Trip arm and Boot was my worry at first. They came out great!
