Finally got some paint laid down

[J-Rod10]

Finally got around to my CB350 wheels. I machined both hubs, and got paint and clear on them, along with paint and clear on the wheels.

I'm pretty happy with how they turned out. This bike is going to be pretty rad when I get finished with it.

Nice!!!

 

[Beaner242]

That is awesome. Love the blue color.

 

[J-Rod10]

I am in love with that blue. It's called "Bahama Blue."

I can't wait to get a tank and a seat pan in it. It's going to look great, I believe.

 

[thovda]

Awesome! They look like brand new rims.

 

[J-Rod10]

I got super lucky on that bike. I paid $160 for it, new gaskets/seals, and she was running. Wheels were immaculate. It's a 69 to boot, already has a cool looking tank on it, so I won't have to build a new one for it.

Love the colors. What's the silver/grayish color?

 

[J-Rod10]

It's an automotive paint from Napa. Doesn't have an actual color on it, just the number code. I do like it, though.

 

[J-Rod10]

Front hub laced up. Turned out well.

Did you put a clear on the hubs?...They are really shiny looking...looks great

 

[J-Rod10]

Yes, wheels and hubs are cleared.

love the blue brother keep up the good work.

Do you have a build thread? I'd be on board. I really wanna see the whole shebang.

 

[J-Rod10]

I don't. I don't take pics often enough.

The wheels are for a CB350, the fork lowers are for a CBR600F2 I'm building. I bounce back and forth between bikes too often to keep up with a thread.

I'd love to modernize a vintage bike. If mine didn't have so few miles on it I would be very tempted to chop and modernize the suspension and whatnot.

I need to finish my current project and get on craigslist and find a real project. My current project was pretty easy going, the hardest battle was the wallet

 

[mAd mOrdigan]

i'd be in to see the entire bike as well. good stuff

 

[J-Rod10]

Didn't have a decent set of 350 forks. So, I machined a new stem for a R5 steering head. Now, I have to turn a new front axle.
