I have just looked at the entire thread el barto posted. I'm pretty rural so going to pop into a farm supplies and see if they have milkstone remover in stock. That sounds like a simple solution.

I will pick up vinegar and screws to give that a go. If it works I'll be well chuffed.

If it's legal I will send you one. PM me your address Thanks for the replies everyone. Looks like I will be ordering rear sets from slipstream.

I've just realised they won't work with clipons. If I decide to go back to drag bars I will on you for a quote. Progress to the build Dave

How uncomfortable is riding a CB350 with standard foot pegs and clipons? I have seen a few with the standard foot pegs and also with rear sets. I would be looking to purchase slipstream billets rear sets because they make best use of the existing brake rod and rear light and brake switch. I...

Glad I came across this thread. I'll be checking my max travel using the strap method.

Sadly my days of being out every weekend on the mtb are over. The odd session around Cannock is squeezed in now and again. I've already run into problems with the paint later idea. I want to install head sets and bush's in the frame. These are best done after paint. I hope to borrow a welder...

Thanks for the input bud. I'm going to jump in and give it a shot. Some guy is selling origional CB350 top tree for nearly £100 a custom is around £90. The one I have found is £30.

Please make me some of these headlight mounts.

I have a CB350 with snapped top tree and I have found a CJ360 top tree for sale. From my research I believe that the two are compatable but don't want to leave it to chance if some one could confirm it before I make the online purchase. Many thanks Dave

That's brilliant advice and I will of course update on the progress. I've decided to pick up a mig and try the frame welding myself.

Thanks beachcomber I had asked this question elsewhere on here to be told not to powder coat built wheels. After seeing these I'm going to go ahead and have them done along with the frame. Of course in boring black
