1975 CB400F "un-cafe"
Oddjob:
Just an idea but lets say points and condensers for the 400/500/550/750. They all use the same ones IIR and they tend to be cheaper in the States so maybe buy a few yourself or if that doesn't work let me know and I'll buy them and you bring them. They are small, light and easily transported in hand luggage. Must be original Honda ones though, the cheap ones don't work as well.
I actually live near Manchester in Stockport.

Ah, sorry! For some reason when you said "parts" my brain went to "used parts". If we're talking new OEM, these are the two places I've used so far:
https://www.ronayers.com/oemparts/c/honda_motorcycle_1977/parts
https://www.southsoundhonda.com/--xpartsstream#
South Sound prices are slightly better but Ron Ayers website seems to be more accurate about what's really available. For example, I tried to order a valve cover gasket from South Sound. It let me order it and seemed to say it was available but I got an email back saying that was not the case. Sure enough, Ron Ayers don't show it as available. Anyway, have a fish around and see if anything that's available seems worthwhile.

Good kickstart levers for 400f or 350f are always in demand. Check for cracks in the knuckle.

Ok, I'm officially giving up trying to post progress. Stuff I've posted before is now missing and every time I try and post new updates with even 1 picture, it just times out :-( Have tried shrinking picture files and different browser to no avail. Shame...

If you use Flickr and post the BBCode no resizing needed. Free account as well.
Link below is a brief explaination of ther process.
