Hi everybody. I’ve just signed up as I’ve bought a 1980 CB400N, but not a Super Dream. It’s an imported American Hawk. I think they are pretty much the same.
It’s going to be a bit of a project as it is supposedly a barn find, and needs a bit of work, the first thing being a set of keys!

A new switch is not a bad shout, and that’s quite cheap too. I still need to get a key for the tank though. The place I got it from did give me the name of somebody who could make keys to fit the barrel if you sent it to them, but I haven’t looked into it so far.

I believe any key normally fits the tank barrel, well original ones anyway. I have a spare original key if you need it, wont work the ignition barrel but should open your tank. As mentioned by Paul, best getting a new ignition barrel. Gee |
