Title: Another CB400 up for sale
Post by: McCabe-Thiele (Ted) on April 17, 2022, 06:13:34 PM
Shame it's so far away I would not bid without seeing it unless it was from someone I knew here.
Interesting overspray on the inside of the seat!

Ah yes my old laptop has a lot to answer for pixel wise. Lol
It must have been loved in the past with the fancy rear swing arm mod been used if mileage is correct.

Update:- With just over a day to go the highest bidder as at today 14/4/22 @ 10.14 its £1700.

Looks like it's all there, does appear to be a Dresda arm fitted from what you can see of it, goodridge front brake hose too.

Seems to have mileage on it (could be correct) with general state and corrosion to match. Needs refinishing of most components to get up to scratch with virtually all surfaces affected.
Depends on history and mileage once installed of "new" engine as to what's inside, but just from cursory outside appearances (if that could be in any way accurate to view it) it'll have a tinckly cam chain, gently flapping primary and stuck horseshoe to deal with, plus anything else at those miles.
Certainly looks dry stored, but put there without cleaning or preserving in any way. Likely a decent project but also complete strip too.

£750 down on the first try. (£2900) so I don't suppose he is happy.  Interestingly the first listing showed it amongst a whole gang of other bikes CB750, Kwacker triple, and at least three other Jap bikes.
