Nice deal! Looks like an interesting aftermarket exhaust. Do you have the sidecovers?
Does it run or close to it? Anytime you can snag one of these for $1/cc you're doing well.
$350 for a great motorcycle. Makes crap like this look rediculous:

Hey ProTeal, were you the guys formally associated with Ton Up Chicago?
What's going on! Wow, I'm happy to have stumbled in here...lots'a great bikes and like minds, it seems.
I'm Gene, I'm in the Palatine/Rolling Meadows area. I putter around on a '77 XS360 that I just love to pieces.
So far I haven't done much to her. Other than some minor shit (cut up the front fender, reversed the handlebars), the only real mod was when I put an electric knife to the seat foam, shaving it down a bit. I spied some posts here of members fabricating butt-stop seats out of gas tanks. Wow, cool shit, quite impressive. I'm hoping to pick up some pointers here on stuff like that.
Anyways, here's the ol' girl:

3. bought my first bikes just over a month ago with a friend. The plan was for us to each build one, but its mostly been me alone in the garage. They were a pakage deal of non running cb350's, all of which turned over. The deal was for 600, but I accidentally dipped into motorcycle cash when I grabbed a snack on the drive down to indiana, and the PO was cool enough not to make me run to an atm. So 3 cb350's for $580! Before and after getting them I started to winterize my garage. Its completely insulated now and has a propane heater installed by me. Im making some slow but steady progress on building one of the bikes. Hopefully Ill be on the road by sometime next summer. I look forward to riding with you guys!
Some pics of the bikes.
on their way home. Yep, thats right, strapped to the walls of a uhaul truck. Everything went well and Id do it again in a pinch, but needless to say I dont recommend doing this.
me and the bikes
this is how I chose which bike to build. Hint: check the trip odo
