Evening all
« on: September 29, 2021, 07:31:48 PM »
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 😀

TIA Paul

 Welcome to the forum and have fun. If its a 76 it will be a Super Sport.  The CB400 Super four is a totally different bike as you will find out when looking for parts.  ;)

Welcome to the forum - whatever your budget is for spending on the bike when you reach it stop adding it up after that date.

Moorey - I stand corrected, although the script on the tank was a big giveaway 😀

Wow the colour is the same as mine as the bloke I bought it from was a sprayer at RR Derby I assumed it was not a Honda colour!
Okay a slightly different shade but who cares!

Just been catching up on your build thread Ted! Glad to hear you're recovering well. As you can see by the photos I think my bike has been given the cornstar treatment 😀
