HOly Shit!!.. That Frakenbike is 1 serious cb350!!..
I've never seen a springer font end on a bike like that before!!..

Thats awesome dude!!! ;D

 

[JKR4]

Steve the owner of the shop really wanted something different and he wanted to use the big wheel up front so it just worked plus you cannot believe the weight savings!

... oh and thanks for the kind words about my bike ???

 

[Druro]

What was that springer for originally, and what had to happen to get it to fit.

I've got ideas for my (soon) CB450, and a springer is kinda part of that. Would love to know where it came from/how it fit.

 

[JKR4]

It came from our parts store http://www.chitownparts.com you will want to call as it is kinda a custom part and won't be in the listing but we can get it for you. and nothing to mount it it mounts right up.

Love the 350, great looking bike and some neat well executed ideas too. I love the look of a huge front tire, really gives a bike a completely different stance. Good work.

 

[tobiism]

Holy shit do you have any more pictures of that Amen Savior Honda frame?!? That thing looks wicked!!!

 

[CBHandle]

I like how you wrapped both pipes together. I'd never seen that before, but I'm quit e the newb in the motorcycle world.

Got the same pipes on my CL350 though.

Looks good.

 

[Herm21]

That is one sick 350! ...gets me giddy! Well done dude!

 

[Scratch]

Awesome! I've always thought that a springer would look cool on a cafe! And it does! What's the front rim size and where's it from? Love to see more pictures.

 

[rawfish]

The rubber looks "phat" I like it! 8)

 

[JKR4]

Thanks guys both bikes should be done in the next two weeks and I will post finished pics when they are both done.

The front and rear wheels are 16" HD rims with a 150 out back and a 140 up front.

Would be neat to see what it looked like with clubman bars on it. Looks like 'superbike' bars inverted at the moment?

Neat look - a less angular tank might be neat too - something a little more 'vintage' looking.

 

[JKR4]

The top 4 pics of my bike the (green one) have inverted superbike bars which I love, the black shop bike (rest of the pics) has clubmans on it and that is a 71 cb 200 tank on it.

UPDATE on my Bike:

Here are some pics of my bike as it stands today. All that is left to be done is finish up the wiring plumb the fuel line, change out the front tire and then send it back to the paint shop to have the frame touched up with an air brush and have the front dust covers and headlight ears painted. It should be on the road next Friday and I have entered it in the Walnecks show on the 20th in Woodstock.

Now the details: 1973 CB350F Olive green metallic (modernized take on the factory paint) all logos are paint not decals
- MAC 4 into One Exhaust
- Dyna S Ignition with 3om coils and Accel 8mm wires
- Black and White Custom Seat with '99 european bonnivlle seat cowl (custom reglassed to fit)
- K&N Filters
- Woodcraft GSX-R 600 Adjustable Rearsets
- Custom Rear passenger pegs
- Custom Oil Cooler
- Inverted Superbike bars (better for my back)

and now the pics:

Let me know what you think.

 

[JKR4]

Oh, and mad props to Steve at S and L cycles on his great build and Joe at nostalgic autobody on the beautiful paint work.

 

[Tim]

I think that oil cooler warrants some serious discussion! Looks awesome. Is that an oil pressure gauge on the cooler?

 

[rudy]

I wouldnt mind knowing a little about that thing myself! Looks pretty sweet! Do share.

 

[JKR4]

Yeah the oil cooler is a unit from Midwest Motorcycle parts I got through ChiTownParts.com it has an oil pressure guage built in.

 

[flipprboi]

nice bike! kudos on the oil cooler. nice touch.

Looking at the pics makes me wanna buy WD40 though. Hope WD40 is paying you guys to have them in the pic.

good luck on the rest of the built!
