Hi all Allegedly my 1978 CB400N was bought new and immediately shipped from Japan to Australia where she spent the first 29 years of her life in the original crate - receiving her Qld compliance plate and rego in 2007.  Looking good for middle-age I suppose? Thanks for having me on the forum, hopefully I can contribute once I've shared some significant road with this machine. |

Welcome - are you aiming to restore or ride her as she is.

Hi Pete! I'm of the opinion that until something is ruined beyond repair the original look should be preserved. I'm a nerd. I aim to look at everyone's photos on here for guidance on how stock she's remained, but I'd say she's pretty close. I like her look at present and got her for a great price! The tank should get a touch-up before long, plenty of rust spots there. Also the pipes are from another bike completely and are missing the baffles, so she's loud, but not obnoxiously. A good amount. Might sort a video. Should we have a little virtual rev-off in my 'hello' thread?  |

The area on the tank to look at is the left rear by bottom - if rusty there better deal with it sooner rather than later Your approach is the same as when I imported a cB400 from Germany |

Thanks for joining the forum and sharing the photo of your 400, it looks great, just a pity it’s silver as that is the slowest available stock 😜
