Re: CB 350F saved from a lonely life outside... When you bought your rims, are there any specific profile requirements for the cb's. They seem to be marketed towards yamaha xs's. If there isnt any profile requirements, whats the difference between getting different profile's. Performance? Feel...

I did not use a guide. If you've never torn down an engine before I would use one but the cb twin is a pretty simple engine to take apart. I'll let you know what guide I use when I put it back together though which I will use one.

I used a 33mm pipe that fit around the forks w/ some rubber o rings on the top and bottom. I'll try to get a close up shot of it for you. You'll see the custom brackets that are welded to those pipes.

Been awhile since I posted last time. Took a little vacation to Missouri where I'm from. Re did the front forks completely. Sand blasted the spring and threw a new coat of paint up on them. I sandblasted the base and instead of painting it I just threw a clearcoat on it. I really like the way...

Thanks. Yah, I lucked out with the shop. Great bunch of guys working there and give you their knowledge.

Oh yah I know. I was just stopping by to fill out paperwork. Didn't plan for it.

Hey guys, New to the forum and the cafe scene. Been wanting to do a build like this for a few years but between school and work I find very little time. Decided to make the jump yesterday and purchased a 1970 Honda 350. Working with a local shop down here in San Diego and starting the project on...
