My CB350 looked almost the same when I started (wear wise).

Time to Murder this bitch out. All black, front to back. The only bit of contrast is going to be all stainless hardware and possibly some components like the gear and foot brake levers which will be polished. I'm still playing around with the full color scheme, input is appreciated.

This project is still alive. Here is the smoothed out frame with all excess brackets removed. Just got it primed today. Hopefully, I will be able to get some more done before the current lull in my schoolwork ends.

Re: College Student - First Build CB350 K4 So today, I waxed up the back of my Mojave tank and layered on some fiberglass to make my rear cowl. It came off surprisingly easily and didn't even remove the break-in sticker from the tank. Finally, here is what it looks like, untrimmed, in...

Re: College Student - First Build CB350 K4 So this holiday weekend, I began to craft my seat out of fiberglass. I am going for something like what is shown in the sketch below. So I began by covering the seat section of my frame in masking tape, making sure not to have any negative...

Re: College Student - First Build CB350 K4 Nope, and sorry for the two day reply time, it needs some modification to mount properly, but it fits the backbone fine. I am not running a tach so I haven't actually thought about it, but I will check and take detailed pictures of the frame fitment...

Could you post a picture of what you are talking about? I am having a little trouble visualizing.

I have a 72 CB350 K4 project I'm working on (link in signature) and I want to stiffen up the frame to tighten up the handling, especially under power and braking. I wanted some advice on my game plan. These are my proposed modifications: 1) Mig weld the backbone and any other spotwelded...

Re: College Student - First Build CB350 K4 This weekend, I mocked up a seat cowl using some brake line I had lying around. Wanted to get some opinions about the shape. I am going to use the brake line as guides to cut foam into the cowl section. I am then going to skim coat the foam with body...

Re: Street ripping, pavement shredding KZ400 street tracker/cafe...slow going That upholstered seat is gorgeous. Did you make it?

I recently used one on my CB350 build (link in signature), I know its not the same bike, but the frames are nearly identical in size. It fits beautifully.

Petcock is going to be some weird Euro threading (expensive). Best bet would be to pick up and weld in new bungs and run a stock Harley threading. The gas cap cost me half as much as the tank ($50) which I found pretty ridiculous. But I must say, it is truly stunning to look at.

Re: College Student - First Build CB350 K4 I haven't figured out the wheel situation yet. I have seen other guys running the 120/90/18 Sport Demons before, so I am not anticipating any real problems. The bottom of the fork tubes are actually very smooth. In the first picture, what you were...

Let me begin by introducing myself; my name is Ryan and I have recently begun a CB350 project bike and I would like to seek the advice of like minded enthusiasts throughout my project. I'll start with everyones favorite part, Pics. The project has been ongoing but slow since I purchased...
