Hello. I bought a Honda CB400n from 1983 and it's in pretty rough shape. The clutch and brake levers need to be replaced, as well as the brake fluid reservoir. I'm looking for these parts, but not stock. Can anybody recommend me something that will fit? Or at least explain to me how to choose these parts. I'm interested in something that looks something like this, a bit more modern than the original parts.

Welcome to the forum.
Lots of options on ebay or perhaps David Silver? Not seen the ones you have in your images. These are not exactly performance bikes so a budget modern looking Chinese job should do the job. Good luck.

On the Brake lever you should be looking for a 5/8 cylinder for a 400

5/8” is about 16mm which gives 200 square mm area of piston
12.7mm bore is about 126 mm square
so to move the brake calliper piston the same distance you would need to pull the brake lever 1.6 times as far
s0 in my opinion no

Did I mention that I have fitted several of these with no problems. I have one on my cx500, and guess what, it stops fine. Just sayin.... again 😃
