Title: CB400F adjustable preload caps
Post by: allankelly1 on December 28, 2021, 12:15:02 PM

Pair of CB400F (modern bike) preload caps going free

Thread size is 37mm * 1mm pitch so may fit other forks

Just need to cover post at £4

Hi Roo

Bought them along  long time ago for my CB400F but they are for the modern Honda CB 400 super four and not a CB400F

Best wishes Al

There's some interesting ideas, components etc being used in mtb forks, particularly downhill type equipment currently. This make started in 32mm with later going to 35mm then 37mm. Whether any of the caps etc use the same spec you'd have to check though.

Measuring the top I think they are for fork stanchions of 41mm diameter but different manufactures have different internal threads for the same fork dia
