Nothing new to report on this bike. Dusting it off, moving it outside and taking a few pictures is the most work I've done to it in the past 12 months. But I'm looking forward to chipping away at it over winter a few hours at a time to get it over the hump. It looks complete but still needs a...

Sorry nothing significant to update. Had a lot of life changes that pushed the motorcycle onto the back burner for a while. Bought a new house, rented the old house, renovated the new house, wife got new job, wife got pregnant, I got a promotion at work. Busy busy busy. I've got a new Barnett...

Haha soy boy has the best thread bump ever.

There's lots of little details to account for, that's for sure. They all add up to a safer and better functioning bike. Show bikes only have to look cool. Race bikes only have to work good. In essence, race bikes look cool in large part because they work so darn well. A good example of a...

Re: vintage race CB350 - video first start I stopped working on the bike for about 3-4 months. Bought a house that's currently undergoing major renovations so that's taking all my time and attention. We're also keeping our existing house as an investment property so had to find tenants and get...

Re: vintage race CB350 - bodywork painted and installed Thanks man!

Re: vintage race CB350 - bodywork painted and installed Yeah it sounds really mean. I thought the muffler would do a little bit more sound attenuation, especially since it has brand new fiberglass packing. I have no idea what the dB is but at least it passes the visual requirement for a muffler.

Re: vintage race CB350 - bodywork painted and installed Clutch seems to work. Just needs adjustment as engagement point is not where I'd like it to be. But it seems proof positive that the Suzuki clutch lifter mod works. I will install my new Barnett clutch plates first and then re-adjust so...

Re: vintage race CB350 - bodywork painted and installed Bloody hell! The bike runs! In my late night delirium, I had accidentally put the right coil wires on the left coil and vice versa. Swapped the wires and she fired right up. My kill switch works just fine also. Now I'm dialing in the carbs.

Re: vintage race CB350 - bodywork painted and installed Thanks! Will check them out. I know it probably bothers some people that my seat doesn't perfectly match the contour of the seat hoop but I decided to keep it that way for aerodynamic purposes :D Now instead of being a giant wind sock...

Re: vintage race CB350 - bodywork painted and installed Yeah everything else will be vinyl. Will keep it simple. Probably do white number plates with black outline, large THR decals on the fairing, Honda HM wing decals on the tank. But I dunno. I might go all Team McLaren F1 and go nuts...

Re: vintage race CB350 - bodywork painted and installed LOL yeah no tractor tires here. If anything, some racers would say my front wheel is too wide but it's the right size for the tire I chose. WM3 front and rear rims with 100/90-18 Continental ContiRoadAttack2 CR race compound tires.

Re: vintage race CB350 - bodywork painted and installed These pics are the best I can do until I get back home from 2 week training. I really need to roll it outside into the light where you can really get a good look at it instead of inside my cramped 1 car garage. Fuel system is all...

Re: vintage race CB350 - paint Painted fairing inside and out. Seat and fender, too. Look at that sparkle! Rustoleum sandable primer, Eastwood Alumablast paint, Eastwood 2K AeroSpray High-Gloss Clear.
