Listing this very nice set of gauges on eBay early this afternoon. Wanted to give all you good people here a heads up. Everything works 100%, both gauges read accurate, all bulbs are tested working, the trip odometer reset works fine. Just some large cracks in back of rear housing but no open...

So what engine is in that?

"Pretty serious work" shouldn't include carb rebuilds, IMHO. "Serious work" - for me (and I'm no certified motorcycle mechanic, rather a weekend wannabe) - only includes engine top- or bottom-end. Carbs are easy if you go about them methodically and thoroughly; often, no new parts are even...

Kyle's on the right track; spend more money on refining and defining your ride after you get it at a bargain. These Motobits rear-sets are about $200 and trump Raasks or Tarozzis, imo. http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=19169.0

Hello and welcome, Laughter. I got my current CB350 off eBay from Michigan, in fact. The economy being so depressed there (Don't mean to preach to the choir!) makes for lots of great deals (read steals) on old bikes. Your $1500 figure should net you a machine in very nice condition. The first...

Considerably stronger, better feedback too; the threaded rod is a joke.

Rat_CXN, man that's a nice dang job you did with that CX, bro. Take a bow! :)

Su-weet. Looks way rad, JP!

Dude, that's a clean bike. I'm in Charleston; let me know if you wanna hook up for a ride when the weather turns. :) My CB350G: http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=21401.0

Here they are on my '73 CB350G. The threaded brake rod wasn't cutting it, so I fashioned one out of 1/4" square steel rod and welded the threaded portions on either end. MUCH stronger; I can actually lock up my 4.00-18 Avon... just barely. They are very nice quality pieces; have had mine for...

Excellent job! Looks fantastic. You do great work. :)

I hate to display my ignorance here for everyone (thus the small font!), but gear Nazis? Help me out, will ya?

Avon Roadriders and I love em! Stuck like glue, never let me down over the three days and I could get the rear to slide predictably under hard braking setting up for some corners. 4.00-18 rear and I coaxed a 100/90-18 on the front with almost NO clearance to spare. I'm all for the most rubber I...

Tail of the Dragon Man, I loved the three days we spent at the Gap. I got a ticket for 63 in a 30 on the Tail. Oh well, it was worth it! Met some great folks and hope to return soon. I didn't see any other small displacement or vintage bikes though. :( My buddy on his DR-Z400SM...

Lookin really cool, dude, seat is sweet; you got a good thing goin there! I like it a ton. :P
