Re: My cb350 project
Hey matt:
I have cone building software that let's you print re template onto to paper to trace out later. Of course, you may already have this, the the standard math is pretty easy. But let me know if you want it.
Also, this bike deserves stainless!

Re: My cb350 project
Thanks chris, I didn't even think about software, i was just going to bang out the math and bust out the old geometry set.
On another note; my buddy who did the powder coat, is going to roll the cones for me at his metal fab shop. Also stainless u-j bends are ridiculously expensive!

Re: My cb350 project
Thanks for the offer Chris,
But i already ordered a collector, pipes, and rolled the cone. If it turns shit, i'll definitely hit you up for something.
Update: New shocks on. Swing arm back with new freshly machined bushing. Clean and paint rear rims/hub and wiring this weekend.
So close, it's hard to be patient now.

Re: My cb350 project
started wiring recently, so far you can't see the wiring or batteries. In this picture, Just the Ignition and kill switch circuits are wired, Power is run to the Ignition Box and to the coils.
PS, i love this nylon braided loom! Thanks Tim for the links to thesupplier in you post!:
A friend helped me with the diagram, as much as I'd like to take credit for it, I can't. We used Chrisf's 360 diagram a starting point.
So Thanks Philip and Chris for the help on this one.
Myself and 2 friends went in splits and bought these acewell speedometers, so i stuffed min inside the old gauge.
Exhaust stuff ready to go when i get back next week.:
Also, the City's small engine shop is next door to where i work, they've got a sonic bath for some new sort of carbs, so i chucked these in and wow, extremely clean now.

Re: My cb350 project
Yeah it is a bit of a concern, To date i've just seam welded everything, ground out some of the older shit welds and went over them, also added some gusseting to either side of the head tube.
I really should have run the FEA on the frame, but i never had time to finish the CAD model. I was hoping i could get a bit of riding in this summer and then address any short comings that the frame analysis shows this winter.

Re: My cb350 project
A little above where that copper tubing is for the fender mockup is the perfect spot to brace the swingarm pivot. If you run two tubes about an 1" above that copper tubing from the backbone to the rear shock tubes, it'll definitely help stiffen the rear section.
It wouldn't hurt to do a proper swingarm brace either.

Re: My cb350 project
Thanks for all the ideas and kind words everyone.
I think the urge to ride is taking over and further frame mods may have to wait until riding season is over.
For the stainless i got the u-j bends from a local supplier for $25 each
The tubes i got from metal supermarkets. Good price and local too
The cone and the collector i ordered from cone engineering in the states. (my attempt wasn't so pretty).
Anywho, off to nurse my bug bites (camping was a very bad idea) and finish the wiring of the bike!
Updates later
Cheers.
