pick up this babe 3 weeks ago from a craigslist add. shes a 71 cb350. bike was mostly OG besides some shitty slip on mufflers and uni filters. (ran rough) i drove across the state to pick it up because the fellow selling it was pretty much giving it away. Blew the transmission in my truck on the way over, dealt with all the towing it to a shop bs, only to be told the guy at the shop "cant do anything." so i said fuck it and drove the rest of the hour drive north going 45-50 on a 75mph highway. ;D got the bike loaded up, did the deal and limped the truck all the way back to the east coast of florida doing 50mph.
got the bike home and tinkered with it a little and thought "maybe ill keep this one stock since its so comfortable." yeah.. that lasted less than a week. i just couldnt do it. so i cleaned some things up, painted the faded side covers and started ordering parts like clip ons, grips, jets, headlight ears etc. a buddy and i made a dual up swept exhaust for it.
.
.
.
after that i robbed the seat and shocks off my 175 since the motor seized on me on new years eve.
this is the 175 vvvvv
by that time my clip ons, grips and headlight ears showed up so i threw them all on the bike as well as trimmed down the front fender.
.
.
.
and that leads up to recently. my seat from hotwingglass showed up. im hoping to narrow that and cut it down to size as soon as my little battery shows up.
.
ordered this tail light, which will be cut into the bump of the seat.
also picked up some CBR929rr rearsets on ebay and painted them up. also got some drag specialties frame clamps to attach them.
.
.
also put on some new tires yesterday at work. photos arent the best, but a tires a tire.
.
.
and that brings it up to present time. hope to throw the rearsets on soon and get the linkage bits sorted. ill update this as parts go on and come off.
