Re: 1971 cb350 cafe build

Does anyone know where i can order new brake pads for these calipers?

why yes, yes I do. This is a local guy that is having these machined and reselling them for a very fair price. Hes having them made out of some composite (I forget exactly which) and they are like a 10th of the weight of the steel slugs, and should last way longer. Give Jeff an email at jstephens7@wi.rr.com and let him know boomshakalaka from ChiVinMoto sent you.

It's been a little while since ive posted. The project is going a little slower than i like but thats ok cause this semester is almost over. It should pick back up soon. The first pic is a picture of the finished sandblasted frame. The last couple of pics are another bike that i couldnt pass up the deal on. Its a 74 cb360.

Re: 1971 cb350 cafe build

The bike is slowly coming to an end. I haven't been updating anything cause ive been so busy and then in my free time I work on the bike. lol.


This is where I am as of today:


1.5 mm overbore
Top end overhaul (in progress)
Shortened forks
Lots of new engine parts
New Michelin Macadam tires
Completely custom aluminum tank (courtesy of my brothers fab work)
and an almost finished completely custom frame with hardtail


Let me know what you think!

Re: 1971 cb350 project

Well it is a custom so therefore i can do whatever I want. I wanted a hard tail so thats what I did. Im not trying to sound like a dick but thats why this bike is mine and not anyone elses.... :/

I think its a good idea actually. You dont have to deal with the swing arm needing grease,bushings going bad.. your ride will be a little more rough but hey, who cares.

I like how your bikes coming!

Re: 1971 cb350 custom

The hardtail looks sweeeet!!! Cafes,bobs or chops are'nt built for comfort anyways(or at least they shouldn't be)
Awesome fab work BTW!!!

Re: 1971 cb350 custom

Jokes aside, are you planning to further brace the frame? Sans more bracing, I would be afraid to ride it.. The loads are focused in all the wrong places as is.

Yea I am. That's why it says almost finished hard tail. That's going to be the overall structure of it but now I just need to add a few braces.

Re: 1971 cb350 custom

cool. Still not my cup of tea functionally, but it definitely is shaping up to look cool as hell.
