there are some days when you get no replies and wonder if people lost interest, then other days when you get 25 replies in 20 minutes...
keep at it man... if you provide the people with cool shit, they will read your thread more often then a crackhead gets his fix.

Not bein' a dick BLAKE, but what exactly are we here to appreciate? Your building a bike. So is everyone else.
Build your bike for you. If you need help, someone will chime in. Theres no need to get upset because 100 people dont stop in to pat ya on the back everyday. You have a cool project happening here. Finishing it should be your only concern.

joe if you friend requested me and if i didnt know you better i would report you to the child predators registry
agreed with others... build for yourself.... there was a time when everyone on a certain site was so negative towards me (truth is i didnt know what the fuck i was doing and was blindly stating my opinion ;0) that I left that site, but was not discouraged. i continued to build, because in the end, its YOUR bike, and if you want to paint it pink and have 4 foot streamers from your clipons, then go ahead and do it.

Hey guys new updates, Patched up the cl350 exhaust... with some quiksteel. Gonna try to sand it down and do something with it so it doesnt look like TOTAL shit, Bondo'd a little more of my seat...its taking awhile because they are photo matching my paint scheme... Got ahold of an upholster for my seat that said i can clean his shop for the price of my seat... So swapping again! Also, Got my petcock resealed... so no leaks!!! Cleaned the garage up a little bit and now im just waiting to get enough money for mikunis.

Re: Blake's 1971 cb350 Cafe Racer (Baffles done, Grips/Pod filters from DCC ordered)
My baffles are installed inside my homemade pipes.
Now i need to find a way without welding to install them to the headers... what kinda clamps are you all using.
Also, my DCC Pods and grips are coming.
Pics to come!
-thanks all!

Blake's 1971 cb350 Cafe Racer (Update March 23rd, 2011 SEAT DONE.)
So after a lot of wait, i got my seat back from paint and im pretty happy with it. Did a little work with a die grinder to make it fit on the frame and it fits great now.
Just need it upholstered now!
ALSO , i have removed the triple tree, greased the ball bearings and cleaned the crude out of there... MUCH BETTER NOW.
I am currently polishing the triple tree to a mirror finish.
Bought some rattle cans for my headers an pipes...
Woot Woot. Installed some Unis and installed my grips... just need to buy some grip stick to get it to stay...
Thanks for waiting guys.
Cheers!
