So I've been doing my fair share of lurking and I just recently picked up a CB350F, well at least pieces of it from a fellow dotheton-er whose username I do not know (but if you're reading this you might want to know that you mounted the rear wheel backwards lol). Anyhow this will probably be one of those slow and shoddy builds on a budget being that I am a student and girlfriends don't come cheap. The OEM seat is nice and unripped so it is unlikely that I'm going to rip it apart for it's seat pan. The tank is pretty bad but I haven't gotten the keys to look inside yet.

Things to do:
re-prime and paint frame (or powder coat pending price but I picked up some rattlecans)
strip paint from tank and coat with POR15 or some other anti-rust agent (I want a metal semi-chrome finish)
add knee dents to existing dent
make a seat (might origami some sheet metal with pliers)
rearsets (mounted on passenger peg mounts) & clipons (or the cheaper clubmans)
pod filters & associated jets
oh yea..and put her back together and into running order.
So I'm studying Human Kinetics (kinesiology) at UBC which means that the last mechanical course I ever took was in grade 9 though I did work as a lot guy part time for 5 years at a car dealership and know some techs. Other than that I've done a lot of searching and googling to read up on concepts most of you consider second nature. So here goes nothing!
