1978 Honda CB400A · Sidecover mounting rubbers Buying guide
The available A- and B-type rubbers have different profiles and references. Compare the mounting holes, cover pins and remaining rubbers on your CB400A before deciding which pieces and quantities the repair needs.
A-type rubbers replace 17247-303-000; B-type rubbers replace 83551-300-000. Both are sold individually. Lay out the worn pieces by mounting position and compare their profiles with the replacements. Do not transfer a CB750 sidecover quantity to the CB400A simply because the products cover both models.
Inspect each cover pin, mounting hole and remaining rubber support. A damaged pin or altered mounting hole can require a different repair from a missing grommet. With reproduction or repaired sidecovers, compare the actual attachment points before relying on the original-model application.
Choose the type specified at the mounting point. A replaces 17247-303-000 and B replaces 83551-300-000; their profiles differ. Matching the opening and cover pin is more reliable than choosing by a general sidecover label.
Both A and B rubbers are sold individually. Count the mounting positions being renewed and choose the profile for each one. The two listings should not be treated as a pre-counted complete kit for the motorcycle.
Both products list the 1978 CB400A, but reproduction or repaired covers may have different pins or attachment points. Compare those features and the rubber profiles with the fitted covers before placing the order.
