Re: First Cafe - 71 CB350
Haha Thanks Fix, Hmmm, Lake Orion, I think that was where I bought this bike. Small world huh.
Hey blkgsx90, I'm hoping to install them this week sometime. I'll post pics when I do. I haven't test fitted them yet, so not sure If I'll need to do the freezing trick or not.
I got a lot done this weekend! Still hoping to have the engine installed and suspension back on by this Friday. Too much got done to really talk a lot about it, so here's a list:
- I ditched the plastic electric tray idea and welded in a piece of steel instead.
- welded on a new steering stop (it got trimmed down)
- trimmed the rear fender and fabbed a new bracket for it.
- removed the chain guard and cut off all the mounting tabs
- trimmed the stock shift lever mount off the passenger peg brackets
- cut the mid controls mount and moved the kick stand further forward on the frame. I welded it directly to the frame, and braced it to the engine mount, so it will have plenty of support.
- "brushed" and clear coated the top triple tree and rear fender
- painted the frame, swingarm, lower triple tree, kick stand, and passenger peg brackets
Sorry, I don't have very good pictures. I kinda got some momentum going in the garage and forgot to take pics, so most of the pics I do have are all post work. But anyway, here they are, in no particular order. Enjoy!
More soon!
