I have a old cb350f tank on my cb350k. I want to extend it at the front where the seat is by 1 to 3 inches to give it that longer cafe look. I figure I'll use foam to shape what i want it to look like then coat it with either fiberglass, bondo, bondo-hair, etc...
What would you recomend I...
I've been asking many questions lately. Thanks for all the replies.
I'm tuning my carbs and I think i'm getting closer. They are Mikuni vm30's on a cb350-stock. I went from a 175 main jet to a 130 and it seems to run better wide open. it really seems to run really good in the middle too...
I've read that on the Mikuni the main jet only controls 3/4 to full throttle.
If this is true, how come now that I put a 130 main-from a 175- does the bike not run as well accelerating from idle???
Was perfect there before... stock cb350 with Mikuni vm30.

1972 cb350. I took the bike for it's first interstate run. Seemed pretty well. Had it a little over 80.
Anyways, when not in motion you can see that the left exhaust has a light colored smoke come out at idle...
It's a cb350. Well, I got the bike back together and running. However, it idles ok, but not superb. Try to gas it to take off and it stalls. It seems to run very roughly if at all between 1500 rpm and 3000 rpm.
If I rev it slowly past this point then it seems pretty good. I can release the...

Anyone know where I can get a set? Can't believe i'm having this much trouble finding these!!!
I'm willing to pay premium if someone happens to have a set.
they're for vm30-Mikuni's.
Are there any negatives to going to a 2 into 1 exhaust? Increase or decrease hp? Would I have to change jetting?
Or are there no changes but aesthetics? Bike is cb350 and 2 into 1 exhaust is called a "Mac".
Thanks
I know that you're supposed to do the compression test with a warm engine. But being that mine won't run yet I got curious. With the kickstarter and throttle fully open I got 126 psi on the left cylinder and 121 on the right cylinder.
Is this decent?
Or is it completely meaningless being...
Well I thought I was gonna get the tank back on and test to see if my bike would start....... until I noticed the bike was leaking gas at the bottom lower seam.
What's best to do, weld the seam? new tank? Por15?
tank is freshly cleaned and de-rusted and bike is cb350. If POR 15 is the...
Well, I got he bug. Picked up a 1972 cb35o for too much $$$ but I got tired of looking and now I have somehting to work on. Anyways, I haven't had the bike a week yet and it's amazing how much i've learned so far. Having bikes since 1994 and now i'm learning more about the bike "internals"...
Forgive me for some of my questions, but much of this is new to me. More modern bike's i'm familiar with, but nothing internal engine-wise. Anyways, is this a normal amount of soot-black stuff???
