Okay, so here's the skinny--> I purchased this "junkyard" non-running 73' Honda 350 last may for $350, and have since, torn it down, cut it up, welded a bunch of stuff to it, and rebuilt or replaced every part on it.. The original plans for the bike were to build it into a track bike that I could race in the vintage class at MMP, but after installing Benjie's overweight pile of fiberglass "gas tank", I decided that there was no way that the bike could be competitive... So, now it's slowly becoming my grocery getter... Minus the groceries.
I apologize for only taking a few pictures during the process, but I do remember most of what I've done and am happy to share my experiences and fun tricks that I have learned along the way. Just ask!
