My 350's and little two strokes.

[MakeshiftPatriot]

1973 Honda CB350. Shocks, Rearsets, Clip ons, Clutch. Many custom odds and ends. Have a Type 1 valvetrain going in it this winter.

Went on a 1,200 miles ride all around Michigan this year. Before the clip ons and rearsets.

1968 Honda CB350. 3,738 miles. ~1,900th CB350 ever made, forget the serial# exactly. Just picked it up.

1975 Yamaha RD350. Big reed blocks, Ported, Expando's, VM30's, big coils. Custom wiring.

1972 Yamaha LS2 (RD100). I am preserving it for a friend, it will be mine one day though.

1965 Suzuki K11. Aluminum cylinder from a '66, custom intake manifold with Keihin Downdraft carb, custom expansion chamber, sprockets.

How was the trip with clubmans and stock foot controls?? I'd imagine lots of rest stops and cramped joints.

Haha it wasn't bad actually, I'm young so I guess that's the only reason it was tolerable. I do recall a 130ish mile stretch in the Upper Peninsula at 3am wishing I rode a full bagger. Had an extra gallon of gas in my backpack to get me through it due to no stations being open that late. The rocky cave we slept in the night before definitely took more of a toll on my back, we really didn't want to pay for lodging.

Have some videos.

I think I saw you on the highway on August 28, 2010, I was driving from Chicago to Wisconsin Dells on I-90, your bike, helmet, handkerchief and luggage reminds me the person on the highway.

I knew when I saw that first pic it was at dorais 'drome

 

[MakeshiftPatriot]

My 350 doesn't like the freeway, I've only had it out of state to Ohio for the Vintage Motorcycle Days. Someone else must love riding their CB350's as much as I do.

The Drome is where its at, my buddy raced his Whizzer at the event they hosted. I cannot wait to see what they do with the money they raised.

 

[perattzi]

Is that the Drome in Detroit where they had the moped races?

 

[MakeshiftPatriot]

Sure Is.

 

[motorhead]

I'm diggin' your green bean where did you get your seat at?

 

[MakeshiftPatriot]

Got the seat off Ebay actually, it was supposed to be like $120 but I guess it ended up being $50. Comes with a new original style pan too.

Latest stuff for the CB350. PVL ignition, bore up, head work, modify clutch basket, cleaned cases, safety wired bolts, CNC Top triple plate. Shes apart now, but should be running great on the track come spring.

This thread is pretty old, but I wanted to try posting here anyways. I love that top fork brace. Did you make it or where did you get it? I hate the my old one with the riser holes.
