400 engine numbers
Nurse Julie:
Going by the above link, my 1978 UK 400/4 should have Mikuni Carbs. It has actually got Keihins and the W/S manual says Keihin's are standard fit ?
tom400f:
I think that site is either tosh or possibly that was how things were in the US with different emission rules??
Bodd:
The trouble with the internet is that the "information" is only as good as the knowledge of the person who inputs it, if you look at the source code for the page Simon posted some punter called John Barach authored the page, where he got his info from nobody knows, some people do have the right knowledge but as a rule only believe it if it is from an official source.

Well said Bodd. DO NOT believe everything you read lady's and gentleman ;)

Hmmm... yes the Internet can be a bit misleading. BUT, be wary of dismissing info just because it doesn't suit you; if we always go down the route of "I don't like what I'm hearing so it must be rubbish" then we may as well switch off our computers. Rather research further / present data to dispute ... whatever. (Though I do agree about those carbs)
In the case of CB400 frame loops, I remain convinced they're a European spec only, ... Norniron & my (1977 / late American Frame #) bikes are living proof.
Now of course the below may have been concocted from some mislead & mischievous vagabond ... but until hard data is shown otherwise I'll continue to believe it!
Top pic 'European' spec, frame is part #374
Middle pic F,F1 & America.... frame part # 373/375 (& yup there's an addendum page for their later / recessed tank)
Excuse the blue crap... bits I've replaced etc.
