My 70 cb350 spedo will either be at 0 when stopped or stay at 20 and the needle is shaky. The cable seems to be working because the odometer is still working. Any Ideas as to whats wrong? Do I need a new spedo or am I missing something? I plan on getting all new cables since the ones i have are...

The seat could use a new cover. It's the only part that looks its age. But luckily no tears so it will be good for a while.

That was my plan, leave it as is! It has had the fork covers and side panels painted but the tank is nearly perfect! As far as how it runs, shes purring great! Eventually i think I'll paint the drums and fork lowers black maybe shock springs too.

Here she is! my "new" '70 CB350 Thanks for all the advice more pics and a thread to follow eventually

well looks like ill have this poll up for another week, i ran into a problem securing a truck and trailer for the bike. so now I've got another week of changing my mind daily ahead of me.

the 350 is starting to look good again...

the 360 im looking at is a 76 360t so i think it would have the newer style of slipper and tensioner. Didnt they recall the bikes in 74 or 75, so is this enought not to get the bike? with my luck i would get the bike and have this fail after a few weeks and be stuck with a inop bike and back in...

so if this goes out i'm SOL? any way to prevent failure?

How big of a pain in the ass is the cam chain tensioner for the 360?

So I think I'm going to put an offer on the 360 this weekend. It has disks that I like about the xs, is powerful like the 350 has parts availablity in between both, but I'll post my final decision. Thanks for your input it's been alot of help. If anyone has some last input it would be much...

The 360 worries me with the cam eating the head issues it has

Dread - looks like its on its way to being sick! Von - the lack of power vs the others is the only thing holding me back on the xs Tim - It isnt my first bike or first project, but it is my first bike project. i usually wrench on the 4 wheel variety of 70's beauty

thanks for the input but the xs isnt of the square variety

Since i posted a poll in the help section i might as well introduce myself here as well. looking to get a 70's bike for my next project. Learned on a ninja 500 till the motor decided to drop a valve and blow a hole in the crank case. now i need to ride again!
