1978 Honda Hondamatic , "Thaisa 001" 1978 Honda CB400A Hondamatic. 17,581 miles (ridden weekly). Restored Hondamatic, 2 speed traffic slayer! 55mpg with enough power to easily highway ride at speed. Restoration list: New: EBC Organic Brake pads (front and rear) Shinko Tires JT Sprockets cables (throttle, brake, choke) tail light - vintage ford "stop" saddle bags single baffle slip on exhaust stainless steel hardware fork gators All Balls Racing bearings (steering stem, front and rear axle) fluids (brake, oil, fork) fuel Filter drag Bar Renthal Grips throttle sleeve bar end mirrors "Thaisa 001" vinyl badges headlight brackets valve, exhaust, and clutch case Gaskets All Balls Racing fork seals turn signals LOUD horn NKG Spark plugs fuel lines Bikemaster trugel battery K&N Oil filter 530 O-ring gold chain ...more Im forgetting Rebuilt or sourced accessories: Carbs fully rebuilt and rejetted for Pod Filters and single baffle exhaust Valves adjusted to high spec Brake master cylinder rebuilt Chrome crash bar Polished cases, valve cover, swing arm ends, and many other bits Custom copper paint Custom fenders Rear suspension Cafe/brat style 2-up seat Gas tank CM400 Wheels ... more Im forgetting This is a fine restoration with an emphasis on safety, ride quality, and maintainability with a little flare for attention. This bike is a rider, the clutchless 2 speed is a dream in traffic and powerful enough across the band to have some fun and stay ahead of traffic. It handles great with the drag bars and a real pleasure to take out on the parkway or into the mountains. The 2 speed makes cruise nights, toy runs, and parades so much more enjoyable and less stressful on your motorcycle. There are fewer and fewer of these bikes out on the streets and fewer still ready to ride as is with good compression. Kick start or push start on first try! This is a tagged NC antique motorcycle bike, fully registered and insured ($12.00 per month) with clear NC title in MY name. I have obviously modified and customized to a cafe/brat style that I enjoy. This is not the style that everyone enjoys, I will include original bars, fenders, mirrors, sprockets, exhaust/air system (including air box, baffle, carb jets) to return bike to a more original look and ride. This is a 36 year old bike and does not require an inspection. It is ready to customize more or shape to your own style with an untouched or cut frame and as solid a foundation with new parts that you will find. I have probably kept 90% of receipts mostly from Dime City for new parts all completed in the last 3 months. These Honda 400 twins are so easily maintained and rideable you forget youre on a 36 year old motorcycle. $5,000.00
