Is there any difference between the 1978 CB400A hondamatic and the 1978 CB400A Hawk. I think that they are the same thing I just wanted to make sure....
Are there any new cables on the market today that will fit the CB400TII without having to get it from Honda? Everywhere I go they say they have to order it......

Hi Mike, Welcome to the group. I never had a problem with my CB400A "breaking out" in turns. I may not ride as fast as you, as I never go much over 50 miles...
My side covers say both "Hondamatic" and "Hawk" within inches of each other, seemingly factory original. Have I got an anomalous bike??? ... ALL ... II); most...
I had a Suzuki that would break out, or as I would say it, was a delay in wanting to come back straight after a turn. It was the bearing in the steering ...
The covers on my 1978 CB400A, also say both Hawk, and Hondamatic. So I would say the Hondamatic is indeed a Hawk. There were 2 manual transmission Hawks in...

Can someone explain the difference between the CB and the CM? I see most of you saying that your's is a CB. My Hondamatic is a CM400A. Thanks! Denise...
Denise, I think the first year (1978) was the only year for the CB400A. In 1979 it changed to CM400A. Why the designation CB was changed to CM, is something...
