I had great fun building the bike and riding it for about 500 miles. But with most things in life I'm moving onto newer and better things. I had some photos taken of the bike out at my local airport about a month before I sold it.

Re: Salzburg '73 CB350 - Summer Riding
I've put some more miles on the bike. This past spring when I was starting it up for the first time this year I had a pretty big problem. The bike ran for 5 minutes and then suddenly quit. I finally diagnosed it as a faulty regulator rectifier. One of...
Re: Salzburg '73 CB350 - Riding update - Might sell
I'm starting to ride the bike more this spring and really enjoy it. I've got all the bugs worked out and the carbs sorted.
I may ride it for a few more months and then move on to something new. Anyone venture a guess as to what this may be...
Re: Salzburg '73 CB350 - Update: 100% complete - fine tuning the carbs
Yeah, but I think 9.5:1 air fuel at idle and on the highway at 1/8 throttle is *just* a bit too rich. Also 10.5:1 WOT is also a bit too rich. I have no clue what that guy was doing when he tuned it. I had a supposed...
Re: Salzburg '73 CB350 - Update: Tuning the VM30s
Trying to fine tune my VM30s. I had a local shop give it a go and they screwed it all up. Said it was perfect and later find out that I'm getting something like 20mpg and black plugs. I've got my trusty wide band on it now and will do it...
Re: Salzburg '73 CB350 - Update: one last item - mounting front fender
Well it's only taken a month for me to get my ass in gear to finish the fender mount. I've been riding the bike a bit and it seems just fine.
I ditched the stock steel fender bracket and made my own out of some 6061-T6...

Aluminum fender bracket by Matthias Salzburg, on Flickr
Got started on mounting my front fender. I'm ditching the stock fender bracket (replaced with Tarozzi fork brace) and am fabricating some aluminum brackets. I'll also...
Re: Salzburg '73 CB350 - Update: back home - needs front fender work
Could it be timing or fuel? The shop owner said he re-timed it, which seemed odd since I set the timing according to the Honda shop manual with my timing light.
I'll check compression as well with my tester.
Re: Salzburg '73 CB350 - Update: back home - needs front fender work
I picked it up from the shop today. I rode it home and she died on me 12 miles from the shop. Apparently my gas cap isn't venting properly. I had to crack it open for it to continue to run.
Also I need to raise the idle...
Re: Salzburg '73 CB350 - Update: 99.9% finished / dyno / state inspection passed!
Just got a call from the dyno shop. It's running a bit rich in spots and lean in others. I jetted it with recommendations from other builders. He's going to try some things to get it running smoother...

Bike at dyno shop by Matthias Salzburg, on Flickr
Bike is now at the dyno shop. Seems odd looking at an empty garage with nothing to do.
Re: Salzburg '73 CB350 - Update: 99.9% finished / tank fixed / state inspection next
The bike passed safety inspection today. :D
I'll get it on the dyno tomorrow.
