i found this site awhile ago after searching CB350 on the web. it's been a great source of info and ideas which i've been filling my head with while i waited for the bike project to get it's turn. the time has come.
there's a thread on the intro board....

about five years ago, a mate asked me if i'd like his bikes as his mum had had enough. they'd been there for quite some time. yes, he is a very good mate.
the bikes went straight to another friends place where i stored them for 2 years and then that friend moved. i jammed them in my tiny back yard and there they sat while i renovated the house. time came to demolish the old lean-to shed and they were shipped to my girl friends house. there they sat for 2 more months.
they went on holidays and left me to look after their dog for a week and the time came to get started.
this is the bike i'll be attempting to get running and then road-worthy.
it's a 1972 CB 250 frame no. CB250 302****
is there any difference between the frames for 250's and 350's?
is there any difference between the transmission for the 250's and 350's?
i also have another whole bike. i can't seem to find the frame no. were they stamped in a different place on the later frames?
i also have another frame. it's a 1971 frame no. CB350 204****. it was almost a bike when i got it. the trees and the forks had been removed.
there was also this.......
it wasn't in boxes like this.
the instruments look ok.
the light went in the bin. i have three others.
i hope to use this 350 motor on this bike.
i like this tyre. looks nice and vintage. i'll let someone who knows what they're talking about decide whether it's any good.
her name is dizzy. it's actually a pig in a dog suit.
there's quite a bit of stuff but there's also some stuff missing. it'll be hard to build three bikes but two shouldn't be impossible. the third may be a 350 frame and engine but i'll use modern parts off other bikes.
most, if not all of the stuff has been weathered.
