CB350/400 / Crankcase Oil Gallery Plug B

« on: April 28, 2022, 05:44:40 PM »

Does anyone have a spare oil plug from a 400/4 on the points side. Part number 15332-300-000 called 'cap B, oil path in parts manual please. I've googled for it but it seems unobtainable from partzilla, CNSL, DS etc.

CB350/400 / Seized brake piston

« on: November 26, 2021, 04:54:56 PM »

Evening all, after some adventure with regards to my front brake woes. I bought ant untested complete 400/4 caliper unit, when I picked up a replacemnt frontend. I've tried various YouTube methods to get the piston out; greasegun etc. Could the actual tube be blocked I.e. where the banjo bolt screws in, as I'm getting fluid through the brake cables. For information: the cables, master cylinder, banjo bolts and bleed nipples are all new. The only thing I haven't tried is heat and the caliper is currently soaking in evaporust - until my patience returns 😀

Thanks in adavance Paul

CB350/400 / Comstar rear brake CB400/4

« on: October 31, 2021, 10:42:59 AM »

Morning all, I'm in the process of swapping the comstar wheels on my 75 400/4 for some spoked wheels. The front spoked wheel is missing a few bits, but oes anyone know whether the rear drum brake from the comstar wheel will fit the spoke 400/4 hub?

Thanks Paul

Project Board / 75 400 Project commences

Picked up a 75 CB400 Super Sport that has been sat for 11 years in a leaky garage. It's a bit of a mongrel with what I believe are cornstars, front brake and forks from 250 super dream. Non standard indicators, knackered front headlight and no kick start pedal. Still had old fuel and oil in it and the front brake had seized solid.

My plan is to do a cafe/brat style conversion as that would work with the current wheels. Spoked wheels are on my wish list but would need hubs as well and that setup is currently out of my price range! This also chip in the casing where it meets the points cover.

So first thing first strip down.

Just popping in to say hello! I've acquired what I think is a 76 CB400 Super Four that has been sat in a garage for the last 11 years. So thought I would seek out some like minded people for friendly banter and much needed advice, as this will be my first foray into ll thinks mechanical 😀
