Hi all, sorry if this in the wrong place, I did join the wrong site, I thought they were all affiliated but Nurse Julie suggested I join this one as more people own a CB400f, thanks for that. I have had quite a few bikes in the past and thought I'd hung my boots up for good 6yrs ago. I was brought up on two strokes and I always had a soft spot for the Suzuki GT550 / GT750 but never went down that route, only got as far as the RD200. My bikes in the past have been Yam RD200, V-Max, Ex-up 1000, BT1100, Honda CB175, CB1300 X4, Suzuki katana 550, SV1000s, GSX1400 Kawasaki GPZ900, ZZR1100, ZX9 my last bike before the CB400f I bought was a Victory Hammer. There was so much wrong with the Cb400 I'm still trying to find out what is right and what's wrong, when I say wrong I mean been made to fit, I'm going to make my first a question about mirrors.

Welcome to the forum!  The 400 is a massive change from the Victory, but I'm sure you'll love it.
Plenty of help on here. Look in Aladdin's Cave at the top of the page for manuals, setup, etc. 🔩🔧👍

That Victory Hammer looks mean - I have only ever seen one in the flesh it was on German Plates at a local bikers pub out in the sticks.
Welcome to our community I'm presently rebuilding a 400/4 - its my first time for me doing a full engine split.

I have the mirrors for my bike but they were not fitted they came in a box of bits- I will check them both for size & do a photo for you if this would help just PM me and I will get them out of my storage box of odd bits.
