service parts will more than likely be identical from bikes aged 1992-----1997

Same parts pretty much

CB400SF heavier and dual suspension

CB-1 monoshock and much nicer to ride. I rode a CB400SF and it was dull!

Project big one is a 1000cc, don't confuse with the CB-1

Good cos there seems to be loads of difficult parts with conflicting date and year. 1st bike after my 125 and its going great. Serving a purpose though. Gets me about cheaply so no bike is boring to me yet. Very Happy

The engine is an NC23, but the bike is NC31. 'tis correct, but weird. Standard air filter is just a big cylinder type thing.

What does yours look like?

I found Wemoto were good for NC31 bits.

The reason for the NC23 stamp is just that it's a detuned NC23 (CBR400) engine with a better midrange at the expense of peak..

Best £250 I ever spent
