Welcome, let's see those bikes.

Here is a replacement tank I got for my wife's CB350four. I only used the krylon clear to protect it from further surface rust. I haven't decided if I am going to polish it or go for the brushed look. So if any of you have suggestions send them. She does like the red. I was just trying...

For removing crud from inside. I used metal rescue. $25 a gallon at home depot. Works great. After I cleaned it out I used Red Kote from Damon industries. You can buy it at some O'Reilly auto parts stores. 1 pint does 2 tanks. $35 a pint. Dime City Cycles only uses red kote. They also sell...

Okay, the pedal car I bought online at speedway motors. It was a bare metal kit. I used Eastwoods lab metal for body filler instead is bondo. Then, I used Dupli-color rattle can in GM blue. After I was happy with that. I then used the Eastwood crsion of 2K clearcoat. Same exact stuff as...

I tried to order the spraymaxx. But, I was in Hawaii at the time. I think Eastwood's is a relabeled spraymaxx can. Glad to know that both are out there for guys like us. My wife's CB350four cafe build is going to cost a lot less. And I can say I did all the paint and body work.

The only thing I use is Eastwood company's 2K paints. If you don't use a 2 part paint any fuel that drips on it will eat it away. I swear by this. I am doing my wife's CB350 in a raw steel. It is kind of pricey but worth it http://www.eastwood.com/eastwood-s-2k-aero-spray-high-gloss-clear.html

I would search these posts for everything. Re-gearing your could have positive effects. Dropping three teeth in the rear only will provide only one result. But, so people change 1 tooth up front and 1-3 at the rear. It has been 10 years since I re-geared a bike. I don't remember what I changed...

I've done wheelies on sportbikes. But they need that. Our bikes, EVERY ONE of them look a hell of a lot better going 40mph than they do going 100mph on the highway. If you decide to keep trying them, invest in some type of frame sliders. Or buy a crappy dented tank to protect yours. I Wish you...

Your biggest headache is going to be the wiring. My Thruxton has a license plate bracket in the same location. The wiring is ugly. PM me and I will send you a picture.

http://oregonmotorcycleparts.com/ I ordered a few things from him. This winter I am rewiring my CB350four. I has one fuse that makes it simple. But if you have to trace an issue it makes it real hard. Good luck

As crazy as this might sound- check craigslist. I have seen a bunch of honda cb's in Austin, San Antonio, Houston, Dallas, and here in Killeen. Some were great deals. I bought a set of CB400 cylinders to overbore my 350f on CL. Deals are out there. Just have to keep watching.

Re: New member in Texas with barn find Well good luck either way.

Re: New member in Texas with barn find Kruck, Another thing to be concerned with is the tank. Everyone here can tell you how hard it is to find a tank without rust. That thing could be corroded to the poijnt that it leaks. Red Kote available at O'rielly or online is a great tank coating...

Did you get it figured out? I can take a few photos of mine for you.

Mark is correct. That is a 350four plate. They don't fit on the twins.
