About the Honda CB400T2
Front-caliper, intake and clutch repair choices for the disc-brake Hawk II.
The CB400T2 is the Hawk II version of Honda’s early 400 twin. Its original front disc brake distinguishes it from the drum-brake Hawk I, even where both models share selected fuel-system and clutch parts.
Separate caliper guide hardware from hydraulic parts
The front shaft boots protect moving guide hardware; the piston and its hydraulic seals perform different jobs. This guide links T2 caliper components, then separates intake holders and carburetor kits for fuel-system work.
