Australian New Guy - CB400N

[JobCran92]

Hi Guys
I just bought my first bike - a 1982 CB400n Superdream - and I was wondering where to start. I've attached a pic of the kind of look im going for - simple and relativley easy. I am studying at university and I also work so I don't want a project that will take 5 years. At the moment I'm after some clubman bars that would fit, a tank that looks good with it, and some ideas for a seat. I have checked around the forum but there appears to be a lack of cb400n cafe racers - anyone know a good place for parts? thanks.

Welcome!
Just for the hell of it... I wouldn't mind seeing a pic of what you are starting with as well. Not because I can be of much help, in particular... Just nosey, curious, and like to look at pics. LOL

+1. Would love to see a pic or two. As far as parts, EBAY is usually your best bet for cafe stuff. I highly recommend DimeCity but shipping may get pricey from the States. Also, make sure to check your local Honda shop. They can get a suprising number of stock replacement parts for these old bikes. Oh, and welcome to DTT!!!!!

I'm eager to see how ya go - cb400n's seem surprisingly "common" down here in Australialand.
speaking of - whereabouts are you? there's a few of us aussies on here but we're all pretty spread apart.
