Honda CB400NA Superdream - new money puddle.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Here are a couple of photos of the new arrival - delivered this morning.
It's going to take me a few days to catalogue the boxes of parts that came with the bike.
It starts on the button having had a new battery fitted a couple of weeks ago.
A two cylinder does sound strange at first.

That seat was on backwards, it's come with a better seat plus a new cover & , strap.
In the boxes were not one, not two, but three spare starter motors!
Not sure yet how many of them still work.

Nice to get a look Ted! Looks like quite a bit of spares too! Is that an original colour for that model? Not so many of the 400 around back in the day.

No there were never made in white , I commented that I liked the colour on the SD website next thing the guy who had only owned the bike for a month or so offered it to me at fair money.
He had a Yamaha FJ? 1300 that was his priority.
The owner was a really nice bloke who asked me for first refusal if I ever wanted to sell it.
A great bonus is it's easier than the 400/4 to pull onto the centre stand. Photo with seat on the right way around.
The engine has suffered from a slight persistant oil leak for the last nine years & two owners from the cylinder head/block area.

I'm off to Stafford Show with my BiL in the morning.
Laverda Dave:
A good basis for a winter resto Ted. That engine looks a bit on the heavy side, it's a big lump.
Enjoy Stafford, I was contemplating going but the wife is working this weekend and needs the car. I'd go on the Viffer but that limits what I can buy and carry back.
