CB350 Built by a teen (Weld Now, Grind Later)

He's taking his schooling seriously (this time) and working. I have his CB350 in my new shop and during winter break, I will be moving forward with it after we get some maintenance done to his 2002, which is his daily. Heck, the last time he came over we got his car moving pretty good after going through a few things and setting the base timing.

So, we'll see what we see.
 
Na-uh.

I'm not getting bla . . . taking credit . . . for the engine.

Or the frame.

Or the . . .

Well, most of it.

I just finished a hugely nagging project and it is out of the shop. I can not move on to other things, including finishing the header for this epicly long overdue project. Among other things.

There are some new developments that are . . . developing. Most of it is unrelated to this build, but the byproduct of those events is that I will be moving much of my fab equipment into Rocan's basement (with the encouragement and blessings of his parental units, no less!) where I will be locked away and won't come out until the header is finished for his 350 and I take care of some other niggles I have with the frame and probably finish some other bits for his current time suck (his car).

More to follow on this after Tuesday.
 
Anyone notice Rocan hasn't posted in this thread for over 6 months?
looks like Beave is going to 'inherit' a CB350 ;D
 
He's been focused on school and getting his DD reliably running, which I've also been helping with since I'm the only one he trusts to actually help "fix" things. LOL!

The bike is actually back in his possession again, so, I am not inheriting anything. LOL!
 
:p Holy crap! Just joined yesterday looking for info on CB350's and got sucked into this rabbit hole of a thread. After 30 pages noticed there were 168 total and I wanted to slit my wrists! Lots of information but I felt like I was swimming upstream in a firehose of teenage drama. Good luck finishing this. Beave you are to be commended and must have the patience of Job!

I'm out.

I nominate this for best first post.
 
Haha! What a post, hope he gets his vehicle going so he can get to this. But school is definitely first! Priorities, working on your bike and getting sucky grades doesn't get you graduated. Keep it up man!

You guys a couple? This got weird.
 
ahh david, dtt first material girl. this thread takes me back. the drugs, parents taking bike parts, the frats, young loves, the homo hipster brit cars. If it was a movie no one would go see it, if it was a paper back it would be in the 75cent ben
 
This has been weird since waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay before I joined. I am just trying to GSD so we can actually get some forward motion going on this build and not have to deal with all this speculative horse poop.

Yes, we are a couple . . . of dolts. LOL!

Sourjohn- Welcome to the insanity. LOL! I can't apologize for it, though. I actually rather like it.

Just for the record, I've read through this thread to 'catch up' on what has gone before . . . I'm not sure if it was worth it. LOL!
 
When I got to page 30 I started skipping 20 ahead to see what progress there was. Then I went to the end and went 10 back. It reminds me too much of my youth. Drugs, flunking out of college, MGB's in the ditch, girls yelling, parents yelling. I'm in my 60's now and I like stable and calm much better. The 60's and early 70's are a blur I don't need to relive :)

On a positive note I'm about to purchase a basket case 74 CB450 that somebody started to restore and lost interest. Hmmm...sounds familiar.
