Any Aussie and possibly others will recognise this bike from Extreme creations.
Sorry if this is a repost.

Yeh, My Aprilia will do the ton. In about 4.5 seconds!......... ;)
Oh, you refer to cafe racers. I can't wait until I see what my CB350 will do. I am thinking just over the ton. And to tell the truth, That is more than you need to have fun.
The fastest I have been on a bike was 260...
I am led to believe that a longer inlet tract will increase performance, so Wee Todd's proposal to fabricate your own has merit.
Use tubing of the correct dia. and weld a flange at one end to mate with the head. Then use hose (radiator perhaps) to mount the carbs.
I plan to do this and...
Man, that's hardcore.
I love the Cello. I have bought heaps of music, both classic and contemporary in the hope that the cello sections will bring that tear to my eye.
I build tube amps and am always pursuing faithful music reproduction.
How does the top cam give better performance?
It appears to have lower lift. The top of lobe to axis and top of lobe to base of lobe measure less than those on the bottom cam. It is also considerably heavier.
I presume you are talking about a turbo. Not really in keeping with my idea of a Jag.
I have contemplated an LS1 but I am liking the idea of the Toyota 4L V8.
Where does one acquire such a beast and how much would one expect to pay?
Getting a throttle cable with the Mikunis on Evilbay was what attracted me to them.
But the savings with Bikebandit.com is considerable. Finding a cable and good pods at reasonable cost will clinch the deal. ;)
BTW. rizzlo34, thanks for the heads up on the discount. :)
Well, the 5 speed in my jag is a Toyota Supra box, so I guess it is doable. My old man used to own a Soarer (Jap import) with the 4litre V8. Is that the donk you refer to?
I have purchased 2 1972 CB350s in bits and I have noticed that the cam shafts are different.
The one on top in the pic looks to me to be standard and has smaller lobes. It's sprocket will not fit over the lobes of the bottom cam and appears to have been built up around the bolt holes to...
Welcome.
The lines and proportions of your frame look spot on. I am really looking forward to seeing your project as it proceeds.
I am also a welder. Handy with a hobby such as ours. ;D
My cage.
It is a 1984 Jaguar XJ6 4.2 litre , 5 speed manual. (or as the Americans amongst us would say, stick shift)
Not my daily driver. As with most of my possessions, needs work.
This is the other CB350 I bought off evilbay.
It had already been chopped by the PO so I thought I would continue.
I got the Tank recently. It is off a CX500c But is much larger than I imagined (also bought off evilbay).
With some modification I think I can make it work.
Thanks for the welcome Big R.
I have begun the process of caffinating the CB. I have stripped the engine and prepared the covers for polishing.
Have begun stripping the tank for refinishing.
Also I have Disassembled the front wheel for restoration.
When I really get into the work I will start...
Hi Everyone.
My name is Glenn And I live in Brisbane Australia.
I have been into bikes for many years but have recently been bitten by the bug. The bike tinkering bug that is.
I have bought a 72 CB350 basket case, almost 2 actually.
I intend to build a cafe racer (always loved them) and then...
