Live long and prosper.
So I'm currently in the process of starting a business which means I have to cut unnecessary cost from my life. One of those things happens to be my car. I love her, but she has to go since I only drive her a couple of times a week. I have my new work truck to drive around, however, it isn't the ideal truck for running up to the grocery store. My plan is to turn my CB350F and GT185 into my primary methods of transportation. I also have my truck and girlfriend's Tahoe to fall back on too. I picked up the bikes earlier this year for a ridiculously low price (about $300 total), and both of the bikes came with titles.
The CB350F had been sitting for at least 15 years but was in excellent condition. It has surface rust here and there and the exhaust was kind of rusted. Since it was already so nice I didn't want to molest it and decided to keep it as original as possible. So far I have replaced the exhaust with a 4 into 1 pipe, new points cover, new spark plugs, new air filter, new oil filter, new handlebars, new grips, and new mirrors. I plan on getting an electronic ignition and a new headlight before I put it on the road. I am also going to trim the front and rear fender down a bit.
The GT185 had already been worked on in recent years. The only thing I have done is replaced the bars, points, plugs, battery, and cleaned the carbs. Last night I tried to fire it up for the first time and could not get it to fire up. I also could not get any of the electrical to work. Going to mess with it today and see what I can come up with. I'll more than likely be asking for help later.

Anyways, here are some pictures from yesterday. I'm going to try and keep a log of everything I do in this thread.
