I figured I'd throw up some progress photos
I made a new seat pan and road it like this for about a month. The copper pipe holds tools, fuses and registration.
I made a fuse box and got some of the wiring cleaned up. See the cute little thumb nail fuses?
Oh, and a new chain and I made the inner fender. The reg/rec is from Oregon city cycles.

Added preload adjusters from the 400fourstore
This pic is out of sync, I painted the tank before doing any of that stuff above.
Seat bump fitting
I don't own a tig welder and I'm on a tight budget right now so I made a bracket from scraps and drilled/tapped it to attach everything.
Bobbed the front fender and painted it flat black. It will eventually match the tank. Also here is the final shap of the seat cowl but I still have more work to do with it.
Scored a 400fourstore swing arm used for $200
Steering dampener installed.

Ive actually got two batteries by the same company but they are smaller, 6v 3.5ahr. But Im putting them in the same place on my cb350. Great minds think alike, eh?

Better pic of the new swing arm.
The rain is coming so I'm going to switch from riding to building soon. I've put a few things off because in order to move forward the bike would have to be taken apart for a couple of days and I just couldn't make that decision while it was sunny.

Here is the most recent pic of the bike together. The exhaust leaks and was made wrong so I'm having a local welder rework it soon. The seat is upholstered now and it's MY T FINE
I drilled the disk and then took it to a local brake shop for resurfacing. I also bead blasted the carrier and clear coated it.
I'm making a fork brace, here it is with the layout right after removing the big sections.
Fender brace in it's template.
Fender brace on the bike with the new fender. I also bead blasted the forks and clear coated them so they're not black anymore. Black is dumb now.
Stupid art
I have more pics of the fork brace as it's almost done, I'll post them soon.
