Better than new and worth every hour spent.

My boss has got one and i had a few rides last summer.

400/4 is a great little bike, revvy engine and petite size but surprisingly heavy.

Horrific front brake though.

Well done you.

By the way, tidy garden!!!! (no supprise judging by your standards!!!)

@RC45tv well, my dad is to thank for the garden lol. Dont talk to me about brakes! Many a swear-word was said until we got them un-seized and working at an acceptable level. But we are very happy with how she turned out. We are currently restoring a '75 cb360 as well so hopefully will have a vid of that running soon. I will be watching your RC45 build with interest. Awesome bike!

Can you still find the parts new (online?).

Am thinking about restoring a cb400 next summer, but am a bit worried about getting new parts somewhere.

Have to admit, if I start the restauration, I hope to do such a good job like you did :)

Beautiful bikes (this one Four at the background too). She looks like a brand new and the engine sounds great. Congrats. Greetings from Rio de Janeiro, Brasil.

Very good job, but I think that tail-light is not for this version,it  is very big, the European version(English version) the tail light is more small.

Congratulations and sorry for me English.

Dude, what country are you in? How did you find a new seat cover that says Honda on the back of it??? I still have the original on my bike, it says Honda, but it is split. The Douche -bag shops have them here in California, but they tell me" It never said Honda on the back seat!!" Bullshit, I had one in 1976!

HOLY SHIT, that thing is Sweet! I have an all original in my garage, just needs some TLC! I love these bikes!!
