Newbie from Michigan

[pdixon81]

While browsing the Internet, I stumbled upon a café bike, which caught my interest. Through a little research and test rides, I decided that a cb350 was the base that I wanted to start with. I bought this ’72 cb350g for $225. It doesn’t run (yet) and leaks a lot of oil. I just ordered a BCR tank and seat today. I am looking at buying a clubman handlebar but not sure if there are different sizes or not. I see a lot on e bay but most describe them for a 550 or larger. Also looking for rear sets if anyone has any ideas or a set for sale.

Nice get! BCR tank and seats are beautiful! Leaking oil from where? As far as rearsets there are a TON of threads on here about several ways to do them right. Just search around a bit, and im sure you'll find something you like. Im building a 350 also, and look forward to seeing what you get done on this thing!

That's a nice little bike and I kind of like the purple color. It's like a flying grape!

Nice. Look me up if you're ever riding into the southeast part of the state. I'm in Ann Arbor.

I'm just south of Holland, welcome to the site. I ride on Tuesday nights with a christian group out of Hudsonville. My '76 CB500T is as loud as the Harleys that show up.
