Hello all,
How are you? I have recently acquired a 73 CB350. I am in the middle of restoring/modifying it to get her road worthy. Here are a couple of links to show where she was and where she is.

Is: http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk43/Novafrk/CB350G%20rebuild/100_2723.jpg
I bought the bike not running for 80 dollars. Boy have I learned my lesson... Not being one to say quit I will have her on the road in another couple of weeks. The bike had a bent frame, stuck engine, the forks were so rusted under the cover as to be unusable... The only saving grace is it only has 9k miles on it, well that and it's mine... ? ??? I did manage to ride it for a day while discovering that the frame was bent and it liked to make left hand turns a lot. Everything seems to work mechanically speaking. It shifted well, pulled hard and idled decent. I think the fuel petcock was to blame for some fuel delivery issues but that's all fixed now.
So I'll be asking questions and updating everyone on my progress. Please throw any 350 twin advice my way, I'm all ears.
Respectfully,
Novafrk
