So, just poking around and saw this on Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1973-Honda-CB350F-Extras-and-Upgrades-RARE-4-Cylinder-350-/251284233967?pt=US_motorcycles&hash=item3a81b51eef
Dig the 350f, have had a few, and the on I have now I've had for 15 years. But the seller claims that: "The carbs alone cost me over $1100 with rebuild kits."
WTF? Granted, it's been years since I started rebuilding and tuning my own (and others') carbs, but $1100 for kits and a rebuild (I am assuming the seller didn't go out and buy a new rack of carbs as well -- the bike sounds like it was complete). Kits are around $80 - 100 for all four... $1000 to rebuild four carbs? What's the standard going rate? I used to pay $200-300, but like I said, that was years ago...
