Hi,

1975 Honda CB400F, $400.
Bike is in decent shape, not running.

What I've done:
I cleaned the tank and petcock, cleaned and re-installed the carb jets
and float bowls with new gaskets/o-rings but have not tried to start
it.

How I found it:
KONI shocks.
Original exhaust in good cosmetic shape.
Under 20k miles.
Missing left footpeg and shift lever/linkage.
Brake hydraulics drained for storage.
No dents that I have noticed under the non-original yellow paint.
"Honda" and "400 four" replica decals applied to tank and side panels.
Clubman bars.
Seat recovered cheaply, but covering sound.
Decent-looking but hard tires.

Great project or parts bike.  I'm moving and don't have time or space
for it.

Conditions:  Offer good until September 5:  if I have to move it I'm
keeping it.  Seattle (Greenlake) pickup only.

Thanks for looking,

Steve

Bugger! Wish you were here in NZ. Cheers, Neil with a 350/4 and 750/4.
Used to have a 400/4, nice little bike.

Cosmetics is important.  To get a bike running, it may just need the carbs
cleaned. (Seems to be the case with this one).  If a bike has been sitting
outside in the rain for years *but* runs like a champ, it may take
hundreds if not thousands of dollars to get it looking right.

You are forgiven...

Forgive me, but "decent shape" for a motorcycle should include actual
functionality, am I wrong?
