FWIW, my CB400 is going to be my normal rider, not a weekend or "special event" bike.  Therefore, as much as I would like to retain the OEM gear/appearance, It's less important than being able to STOP.

It all depends on what brake parts are old and worn out. Easy to do a full overhaul with, Stainless steel brake piston, new OEM piston seal, new brake lines and used a DSS aftermarket master cylinder or refurbish your original with a new service kit. You can always have the disc drilled for extra grip  ;)
Or if you want a very good braking system, be prepared to spend £££

Yup, fits straight on and works fine with no immediate on/off application. No faults found and works perfectly. Really happy with the install and did so after much research from other sites and expertise elseware. Cheap option, dead easy to fit, the lot.

As a new member you will soon find over members commenting on your post telling you that their bike has the best braking system but, they may or maybe not taking about a CB400/4  ;)

The Long Haired General wanted bar end mirrors which aren’t in at the min as it’s being fiddled with and sick of catching my pockets on it walking around the shop.

Yup, as it’s on a 409/4 thread, I was referring to our 400/4
