Hi guys. I have a '73 CB350G. Fork are severely pitted. I was looking to see what tubes would be a direct swap. I know come CBs have different internals. Does anyone which ones for work for my situation? Thanks.

Cb350 fork tubes.....but they will most likely be like yours. Buy replacement tubes from Dime City or swap to a larger fork set in better condition. I would recommend either early Goldwing or CB750.

I have a set of 35mm Ducati forks and triples if you want something vintage.

Hmm. I can't find replacement tubes at DCC. I would like to keep the bike stock. So I would like direct replacements. Thanks!

You can buy new stanchions on EBay, but they're nearly $400.

35mm Ducati forks sound great - do you also have the hub? is it drum brake?

Google "Forking by Frank".
Frank has passed on, but the family still runs the biz.

If you google cb350 fork stanchions these guys come up http://www.brooksuspension.co.uk/honda-cb350-f-fork-inner-tube-or-stanchion-72-74.html £112.49 a leg? maybe worth a try or if not have you thought of re-chroming your originals?

Thanks for the help guys. I found a pair on eBay. I know diameters were the same for CB350s but didnt know if the internals were same. Thanks again!

Here's the bike now. Took most of her apart except the engine. She was not this clean when I bought her (sorry no before pics)

thats a rare color . . clean bike and vintage sissy bar.

paint that ugly clutch cover with krylon dull aluminum paint then go over it with matte lacquer.

Thanks. The engine is the last thing I have to clean lol. I'm just going to wet sand it.
