No need to be nervous, that's a sweet setup. It's my understanding that the cost of components made them basically impossible to manufacture profitably. I've never run one, but sure as shit would be grabbing one for the bike I am currently building if I could. :-)

Hey how did you get your hands on a Probe Eng CB350 ignition? Those have been out of production for quite some time now.

Those are some pretty damn impressive results. I will definitely be giving that stuff a try.

Bump

I am trying to learn a bit more about how coil, wire and plug choices are inter-related and how those relate to other ignition components. For the purposes of this discussion I am concerned about a CB350 (though I am sure others will be applicable). I understand that the stock setup involves...

I think I could use those 35s of you still got em.

Thanks guys. That's kinda what I thought. Just trying not to get raped on a 70 CB350 tank, not an easy task.

I can't put hands on the tank J-Rod.

Right so, no such thing as too much rust to remove, but I might remove the whole tank. i.e. I have no way of knowing whether the tank is worthless until it's too late. Also, Japanese girls hopping around in the back of a limo, thanks for the mental picture.

Eyeing out a tank that's got some pretty serious rust inside, and I am not sure whether it's really good for anything other than a paperweight. Thoughts?

I am with Erskine on this. This is totally different than what everyone else is building right now (and amazing for that.) Isn't there someone nearby that can help you with the next round of frame mods? I would hate to see you give up on such a rad little bike.

Sorry, kinda let this one go stale. You are correct. The 6 rivet pattern is IDENTICAL to the Yamaha 150mm 6-bolt pattern. That pattern is found on certain years of YZF R1/R6 in a 300mm disc and certain years of FJR1300s in 320mm, both with 0 offset making it perfect. The amount of modification...

Sonreir is correct. Start with the simplest cause/solution. A shitty battery will absolutely cause one cylinder to fire poorly. After you have proven your battery is charged (and good/holding said charge) then Start looking at resistance and conductivity in the wires and coils. You might have...

The 350, 100%. The 450 adds a bunch of weight without adding a lot of power (i.e. it's not really a faster bike), and the 350 has a way bigger following so you will have better access to parts, aftermarket accessories, and people who can give you advice and help. Also, that 1970 is a damn fine...

Those are definitely XL legs. You can use them (and there are some rigidity advantages to doing so) they will requite a lot additional work and a 35mm triple to fit them. Unless you are putting together an AHRMA bike or something it's probably not worth the time. Also you should be aware that...
