Hi All
Looking for parts for NC31 superfour project.
Will post pics later.
Main issues at present i can see are forks.
However having bike looked over by an MOT inspector on Thursday so will update with all other parts required.
All help appreciated as wemoto is so expensive.
If too much to repair as im not experienced will probably sell.
How much do you think I will get?
Cheers

Welcome to the forum.
Difficult call, repair or re-sell. Tbh an old, grotty CB400 SF is not worth much. Maybe £300? See what they fetch on fleabay.
For restauration, you need to be prepared to put in the time and some money. 1 1/2 years ago I got a rusty CB400 Four NC36 and I took bits off, repainted them, replaced some parts. I took the forks off, had the bottoms powder coated, put in seals and bushes. All good fun and because I did the work myself the cost is not that high. From my experience running a 125, the CB400 is about 3-4 times more expensive to maintain (oil, filter, seals, gaskets, chain, tyres). Compared however to a modern sportsbike or a BMW the maintenance is peanuts. Wemoto give you a choice of original Honda parts and pattern (copy) parts that are cheaper. I like the way they offer everything they have for the CB400 SF on their website. The alternative is look up the part you need in the partslist and buy OEM from David Silver Spares, which would be more expensive.
Good luck, Mansie
