About 9 months ago my buddy tells me "Hey my grandpa says he has some bikes we can have if we just go pick them up." What! I'm game....long story short his grandpa lives in Oklahoma, us.... Indiana. 13 hours each way and we picked up 2 bikes, a CB350 and a CB750. We decided after many hours of driving the we would do the 350 for him and I'd keep the 750.
The 350 for the most part was a very complete bike and sat in a pole barn since 1993. It has the usual rot for a Honda, pipes rotted out from the bottom and the cheap chrome had it's fair share of buildup. Paint on the frame in some spots were down to the metal and there appears to have been a few guests that decided to make a small home in the air boxes(thank god the throttle bodies were closed!).
After a mostly uneventful trip back to Indiana we began tearing the bike down and planning what the finished product would be. It' been determined that it will be a full tear down with mostly restoration work and some standard cafe style cues. I could go on with what we want to do but I don't want to disappoint anyone when things change(which they do on the fly each day we wrench on it).
Well, that's the main story... on to the pictures
