Hey guys,
Hows everyone doing? I've been lurking and building quietly from way down South America. Im a native New Yorker living in Lima Peru at the moment. I have a few bikes back at home and just couldn't go on living here without one. I came across a 1973 CB 350 Four in a a town called Pucallpa. Its a town in the Peruvian Amazon jungle located in Northern Peru. Turns out this guy buys the bike in California back in 1973 and rode it from there all the way down to Peru. Took him a year. Bike has been sitting there until recently. So it turns out this is the only CB 350 F in the country, and now I have restored and converted it into a cafe racer, making it the only cafe racer down here as well. People see it and dont know what it is or what to make of it. Hopefully, I'll have part in bringing the cafe racer culture to this country. So about the bike, it was a disaster. I tore it down to zero and started from the ground up. Restored or replaced practically EVERYTHING on this bike. Full engine work, carb work, tank needed restoration, front end restoration, etc, etc. The list is really long. Still have a few more things I'd like to do to the bike, but it turns out now after 3.5 years here, I'll be moving back to NYC. Dont know whether to sell this one here or ship it back home. I'm posting some pics. Let me know what you think. Glad to finally be a part of this site. I think you guys do some amazing work.
