    CB350 Cafe by first time builder - wiring up the beast My bike came with no signals and only 4 switches: ignition switch, starter button, horn, and headlight on ...no high beam. I went in hoping the wires were just cut and left hanging. If the wires were missing all together, I'd have to make a...

    Hi Saturdays Wrench! Yeah, just started using the GoPro. Shot all the video and didn't realize the sound was so bad until I got it into the computer. But new videos will definitely be better. ...except the next one on wiring which is already in the can. I'll keep my eye out for your videos. I...

    Thanks xb33bsa. I'll keep that in mind in case I have to do any more fab work. I think I'm going to build my own seat pan and a carbon fiber tail section. I thought I was being brilliant with the dremel. Pulled it out of the closet after sitting there over a decade. I did use it to take some of...

    Custom Gauge Bracket Fabrication My first attempt at any metal fab and I'm pretty happy with the results. When I bought the bike, it didn't have any instruments or gauges. So in order to get my aftermarket gauge to fit, I had to design and fab up a mounting bracket. I went for an all-in-one...

    What's been done so far So far, I've de-rusted the tank with vinegar and then muriatic acid. I then clear coated it with a 2K epoxy primer. I changed out the grips and added a small mirror. I also installed new handlebar switches. I changed out the old hard fuel lines with some nylon covered...

    Thank's its_nuche. What are you building? zb33bsa, thanks for the advice. The plan is to do a custom carbon fiber seat and tail. I saw some youtube videos where they carve foam to make a mold. Gonna try that out and integrate the tail light into the tail section. I'm hoping to have some money...

    I'm starting this thread to document my build. I bought a working 71 CB350 from a vintage bike shop in Los Angeles. It runs great but isn't street legal. She doesn't have a speedometer, turn signals, or mirrors. The tank was stripped of paint and has started rusting. I've already made a few mods...
