Hi - I’m assembling my bike - a CB400N - and I’m unsure about how the rear brake pedal assembly is. Can someone help with a couple of pictures to help me? In return I will post pics of my soon-to-be wicked cafe racer ?

Here's a few

Hmmm... is this only held by one bolt like this?

No. You've got the pedal attaching to the aluminum foot peg mount. The brake pedal screws into the center stand pivot sleeve. There is a steel plate that gets bolts to the frame with 2 bolts, the 3rd (lower) hole in the plate is where the brake pedal bolt goes thru. Look at the 2nd picture I posted.

Correction. In another one of your posts it shows that you have the huge aluminum side bracket instead of the usual later model small one. So yes the pedal bolr does go thru that bracket and screws into the center stand pivot sleeve. Here's what the right side of your's should look like

Thanks a bunch... I couldn’t quite figure out your pics so I’m glad you helped me figure it all out. I’m deleting the centre stand so I’m thinking of a plan ... ?

You have to keep the pivot sleeve in place. The aluminum bracket isn't sufficient to handle the loading of the brake pedal.

A fresh pic ?
