Any information for a beginner doing a cb350 build

Wish I had started with a smaller bike.

I started with a 650 and they have been getting smaller every time. 650 --> 400 --> 350 --> 50. I really enjoy riding and working on smaller bikes. You can also fit more of them in your garage

And putting them on the main stand is like putting a bicycle on a rack. Oh, and backing them up is as easy as backing up a shopping cart. They'll turn on a dime and give you some change. Kick starting can only be made easier by more seat padding. Oh, and never ever ever try a balance-point wheelie. You'll find yourself on one wheel in the most inappropriate moments. :

My first riding experiences was an SOHC CB750. No, I wouldn't do it again. Yes, that's a very stupid idea.

Redliner has some good advice... I've always thought small bikes were cool... and btw its definitely not worth the trouble of adding 10cc's man

I saw my first 350 in downtown the other day for the first time up close. They look fun to ride and something about the size just seems pleasent

Danny, just so you know ahead of time before you buy the 360, if it does not have the punch marks on the engine's Vin# then to fix it will cost about $350 that is if you can find the newer version of the cam chain tensioner. They are hard to find.....and expensive when you do find them............................. ???

It would suck to have to spend that much dough on something like that, but it's also good to know they sell that part.

CB350? Expensive? You are spending too much time online and not doing real foot work.

Start going to shops, even ones you wouldn't expect to carry accessories or parts for the old stinkers, and you'll always find "Scruffy the Janitor"-like blokes that will tell you about the 50-some-odd CB350's they owned back in the day and where you can get them now. Then they'll give you coordinates (if it has an address, it's too legitimate) and you'll find yourself miles from cellular reception among heaps of bikes waiting to be picked apart.

Can i get a hell yeah?
