ok! cut the brake backing into a big hunk o' steel... welded it up... fitted it to the fork using existing mounting points... made it pretty and bolted it on.... and hey presto! i can actually stop!!!

Re: CB350 Sly... Stop! the seat cover is made from the tanned, cured and dyed hide of the rare western Nauga :) it's glued onto the seat... not a fancy set up at all!

Re: CB350 Sly... Stop! WM2 (1.85) front and WM3 (2.15) rear, wanted to keep a fairly traditional look.

Re: CB350 Sly... Stop! what pj said... bridgestone battlax B45... 90/90/18 and 110/90/18 so it was a C4, the small one... i cut some thick rubber that was from a truck bedliner to fill out the inside angle of the frame along where the seat was... this supports the outside edge of the seat...

Re: CB350 Sly... Stop! Thanks! The seat is off the rack... got it from airtech streamlining. I THINK it's the small cutlass C4, but I guess it might be the large cutlass C1... but there are measurements on their website so you'll be able tell which one is right just by quickly measuring which...

Re: The Parts Pile CL350 Cafe nice work so far! i used one of those athena gasket sets on my rebuild and i also used those 1st over sirius pistons and they worked great! you always wonder when the stuff is inexpensive if it's gonna be ok, but no problems here with either of those choices.

nice progress! cool bike and cool story! good luck!

i dunno who mr. e is, but these are all pretty pimp... (cb400 same size 33mm) scroll down... multiple styles and bottom triples too... http://www.ttr400.com/photo3_7.html

perfect! thanks mike!

Hi! Anyone know where I can find a pre-1980 Honda parts list online anymore? Until recently you could get the parts lists for the older models from any old honda dealer website, but now the lists all seem to stop at 1980 for the ones I usually hit up... Thanks!

thinking not... the only cb250's i can find seem to have 31mm forks so if you're reusing the 350 forks you'd need triples that are 33mm. cb360 triples work also. and if you're searching ebay don't forget that SL and CL 350's will have the same triples (except for the early ones with bolts on the...

wow, the bike looked in really nice condition to start with! means you can get straight to the fun stuff :)

Re: CB350 Sly... Stop! hmmm... hadn't thought of tapping the hub. although there's a cover on the opposite side that's held on by the 4 rotor bolts that go all the way through the hub... i guess i could find a different way to attach it. wouldn't be much hub left... the bolt circle on the new...

Re: CB350 Sly... Stop! excellent writeup teazer... looks good! and is pretty much exactly what I'm trying to achieve with the exception of the fact that you can't get a modern rotor with a 4 bolt pattern so I'll have to drill my own holes to mount the thing. the offset on the rotor is about...

Re: CB350 Sly... Stop! the wall of the spacer would be only 1mm... so it's a question of whether it's doable if it's that thin...

Re: CB350 Sly... Stop! looks ok i think... not too inyaface.... made up a mounting bracket.... cardboard is legit for brakes, right? unfortunately there's no such thing as a new brake rotor with the same bore as the hub (that i could find) and because the rotor is hubcentric not...

looks good! nice work! fyi, my brake setup is functionally identical (my bend is in the pedal lever like the bcr example, not the rod itself but it works the same) and it's completely rideable...

Re: CB350 Sly... Stop! ooooOOOoooo... what's going on here? gonna see if I can get the old girl to stop a bit better! a buncha times last summer I found I had more 'go' than 'stop'. I'm hoping I can get some more modern gear to work and not ruin the look too much. the new rotor is 1.5#...

Re: CB400F first cafe racer | from Holland not sure, but i think the CB400 fours still had 33mm forks, in which case you could get a top triple from a CB360 (or CB350G) which has rubber mounted handlebar brackets that can be removed leaving a 'lightening hole' effect which would save you some...

When you rebuild your brake this OEM Honda piston works as a replacement as well and is lighter and slipperier. Dirt cheap at about $25 from your local honda shop.
