I fitted a new seat cover to a Suzuki GT550 back in 1983 and it wasn't a difficult job. And it looked like an original factory fitted seat when I was done. And, all I needed was a minimal amount to tools to fit it.
I'm reviving a 1978 Honda CB400A Hawk Hondamatic. You got a great deal. I paid more and it's in way worse condition. Thanks for posting this. I have no idea what i'm doing, so you're providing much needed guidance.
That "Goofy" bar on the back, as you call it, was used in the circus. This is what the bear held onto when they went through the flaming hoops. It could happen.
Nick P Unfortunately, Summer ran short on me and I’ve not yet finished the bike, but it is going to be my Winter project, so an update can be expected soon. Thanks for your interest!

My first bike was a red 1978 400 honda hawk. 42 years later I still miss that bike.
Me too my first bike red 1978 :))
@@petterblack6459, I spent 3 years in Hawaii with that bike, rode it just about every day.

I'm converting mine to a cafe style bike.

Nice cb400t would look great if you got a rear comstar rim change the bars they look like cm400 and the mufflers are incorrect
I'm restoring this same bike except the orange one and I'm wondering where you got the seat cover? I need to replace the seat cover on mine as well
I just bought a 1980 Honda CB400T and the engine needs to be rebuilt new gaskets and re bored with new pistons.
