Hello all,
So I've got a 73 CB350. I bought a ton of parts for it and just wanted to slap them on and call it a cafe racer. After I came to my senses and realized that the only thing that would leave me with was an uncomfortable, unsafe bike I've decided to slow things down....
Currently I have the bike in pieces. I want to polish and paint everything and make sure everything is mechanically sound. And I'm giving myself all of this winter to do so.
Since I have basically a bare frame and can access nearly any part on the bike, what should I replace or be cautious of? I already know from the wisdom of others (and the search function!) to replace the steering bearings, cam chain tensioner and do something about the shocks. Does anyone know of any other parts that I may want to look into to make sure I have a safe and reliable ride?
Any and all advice would be appreciated.
