1978 Honda CB400TII Hawk II · Suspension & Wheel Buying guide
Work from the assembly being serviced: fork oil sealing, external dust protection, steering-stem fastening or swingarm pivot protection. Each job needs its own part, and a changed front end requires fresh measurement.

Oil seals and external dust boots have different roles. The featured oil-seal set is specified at 33 × 46 × 11 mm, while the dust-boot pair is for 33 mm forks. Inspect the tube surfaces and retaining parts while planning the repair; new seals cannot correct damaged sliding surfaces.
Do not choose suspension parts simply because they appear in a model filter. Check mounting configuration and clearances when a previous owner has changed the forks, wheel or shocks. Use the Hawk II service manual for procedures and tightening specifications rather than transferring settings from another CB model.
The oil seals retain fork oil inside the sliders; the dust boots protect the exposed sealing area. They are separate products, so inspect both before deciding which parts your repair needs.
The 1978 Hawk II originally uses Comstar wheels and a hydraulic front disc. Compare the fitted wheel, brake and fork assembly with the model, and identify any replacement front end before ordering its service parts.
Check the sliding surfaces before buying seals alone. Honda calls for inspection of scored or damaged fork parts; a repair may require more than replacement rubber to restore a sound sealing surface.
