New (to me!) '77 CB400F - US model
mattsz:
AshimotoK0 - many thanks for those links! I actually have all those downloads already. I like to have print materials to read and work from, so I purchased the Clymer. I may try to print out the "official" Honda manual, or sections of it at least.
I must admit the Kawasaki service manual for my 2000 W650 is great! Lots of information, great diagrams and clear photos... but of course, there's still errors and omissions... nothings perfect, I guess! :(

Stacking up questions here...
I've got one key, "opens" everything. It's very basic, by the looks of its cutouts. I could probably buy a blank and file a new one freehand in about a minute. But, does the 3-digit number on the key imply I might be able to order a new one? Or, perhaps might I have been able to in 1977?
Bryanj:
Yes there are a few suppliers working to number
mattsz:
Does the number suggest a certain key "blank" size or shape, or does it actually tell the cut pattern? I've seen some other key threads, usually involving fuel tank access or ignition problems, with key numbers mentioned that have more than just three digits, and usually some letters as well...
Bryanj:
The older Hondas used to start with a T or H but later ones just have numbers and can be 3 or 4. I think there is a firm called something like "hondakeys" on ebay who should be able to tell you if yhe number is ok. In theory there should be a number on the seat lock if you take it off and also on the ignition barrell if you take that off.
