I'll second that one. It's so different it's cool!

I'll keep you updated on how it goes. I have some old parts that are worn that i will use for a test. Found some bearings that could work, but they wont leave much material left in the cam housings, so right now I'm trying to figure out how much material I can take away and still keep the...

That's my thoughts exactly. I'll finish the bike with this seat and get another one from a suplier when i find one i like. Also the paintjob on the tank didn't really turn out as i hoped, so will probaly have that sprayed by a proffesionel later on. But on a positive note, I managed to start...

Re: New Member's 73 cb750 Café Build I see a future BOTM here, really beatifull work!

If only that was me! When i do cleaning like that, babies, diapers, my girlfriend and other stuff are in the driveway, but never any exiting stuff like that! :)

So after realizing the seat I made wasn't gonna work, it was either make a new one or make the best of the one i had, so this is what i came up with: From what I had to work with i think it came out okay.

Re: 71 cb350. round two. That looks so much better already, can't wait to see how it looks with the new parts.

Re: 71 cb350. round two. Bike looks really good, I like how you keep it in running condition while doing all the work. Makes me wonder if i should have done the same ;D Only suggestion i would make is to lower your headlight and and gauges to make them more in line whit the rest of the...

Erskine: You are absolutely right, and I am going to put something on as filter/mesh just not sure how to do it yet. Adriannarnold: Paintscheme will be black and silver, so i think i'll have to paint them either black/silver or a brass coulor to match the pegs as you say. Don't really want them...

Thanks for your comments guys. Spotthedogg: Yes they are non filtered right now, but I'm planning on adding a stainless steel mesh or filter of some kind later on. Jrknecht: I'm not sure about other coulors, the store I used only had this colour.

Just looked through your build, i really like what you are doing to the swingarm. Great work.

Bobdot: Thank you, yes i bought them at a local Auto/Bike/Moped store, they are universial, and the diameter fit the carbs perfectly. Here's a link for them, as far as i can see they only ship to some certain EU countries...

Re: 72' CB350 - First build. Sparks are flying! Big day today, finished the wiring, timed the ignition and turned the key, spark on first try :D I'm very happy since I've never done anything like this before! Here's a picture of carbs and inlets installed, carbs are not as clean as i would...

½ hour work today, mounted the carbs. Was just about to blow up when I couldn't fit the carbs into the rubber intakes, but then i boiled them in water for 2 minutes and they got soft as butter and they went right in! Picking up two off these tomorrow, not really the colour i wanted, but got...

Did some more work to the bike today, so a little update again. First off I dicided to paint the dashboard black: Did a little tray for the electrics. As it is now, it's very open and i will make a more protective one in the future: All wires are ready and just needs to be connected. All...

Re: 71 CB350 Project This build is looking good, I like your ideas and will be following!

JoeTee: I'm also going for a DIY job on the paint. I'm still trying to keep a low budget on this build, and safe some money for my next build. As far as colours go i think I'll stick with black and silver as the rest of the bike. My plans are to do tank and seat all silver with some black...

Thanks for the comment Bruno, i'll remember that ;-) Cut the seat to shape today, not really happy about how it turned out, it's not as rigid as i hoped and feels a bit woply, I'm afraid I'll have to try again or at least make some reinforcement to it. Also thinking of buying a finished seat...

Re: CB350 Built by a teen (Just call me Buffy... polished crankcase!! PICS UP!) If i was single and didn't have wife and kids, with all the time in the world, this is how my polished parts would look like! Very nice job and respect to you for taking the time!

Yeah, I know what you mean about the brass, i think they are gonna stick out a bit to much when the bike is done, since it's the only brass on the bike, so I might paint them later on. But it was free so I'll stick with it for now. Thanks Arnold, Rims were sand blasted before primer and paint...
