I got a message that my reply bounced last night so I am resending... Also if anyone else has any quicksilver info, please send it on... Lloyd , Thanks again for the heads up. Sounds like a good idea to put in a switch to turn it off during day. Also I switched over to electronic turn signal control...much better. BTW, I won't be able to get any replies from Sat early am to early pm as they are cutting power at my university to do maintaince.

I like the Quicksilver fairing just fine. It should be a nice size for the 400. Keeps the wind from blowing on your chest and trying to take off your Helmet. I find this fatiguing when speeds average over 40 MPH. The drawbacks to the fairing are that it doesn't have locking storage. And, that it has a rectangular headlight that has pretty high wattage; 75/90 if I recall correctly. While the brightness is nice to have, the electical load really taxes the charging system. The battery will run down if there is a lot of stop and go traffic when the RPM average stays below 2500. If you still have the stock turn signal flasher, they quit when the battery voltage drops. I haven't looked up the specs. But, I think the 400 charging system has even less output than the CB550. I've not been able to locate a lower wattage headlight for it. Something to think about, anyway.

I have both the Quicksilver and the Windjammer fairings. The Quicksilver receives a mount quite different than those for the Windjammer. They are NOT interchangeable. The mount platform angle is very different. I have no reliable sources for either of these mounts. Were it me, I'd probably just fabricate a new mount if I couldn't find one on eBay. If needed, I can take some pictures of the mount I have for the Quicksilver, as I believe it is a factory mount. But, note that it is mounted on a CB550 not a CB400.
