ya, I'm running the stock jets with just the pods. I have yet to put it all back together cuz I need a longer battery cable but will soon. Newborn girl comes first. How did you know about the goodwill leather jacket supply?Captainrob said:Good job on the seat and great idea. Hmmm, now if i can find a sweet brown leather one at the goodwill. My last build I used the seat bottom of a folding chair since the bottom was already wrapped in black vinyl......
Did you try running it with the stock jetting and pods. I have a CL350 that has SL350 pods on it I believe and I just put on pods. Got it running and goes around the block well, but I'm out of gas and picking up more later today. It's not plated so I can't get outta neighborhood, but anyway, I've read where guy from Ohio cafe shop (I think) posted that they have done 350's with stock jetting running every kind of mod to stock with no problems. So did you try running it with stock jets? Not sure where the hell I'm at with the SL carbs on this thing.
I put my battery in the same exact configuration btw. I'm looking for some sort of a power "post" kinda deal to hook the battery cable to and connect the accessories in a way that they can't touch and short on anything around them.
Thanks for the compliment and for the site but I didn't see any parts on that site, just a racetrack with lessons.sonusual said:I just started to build a '69 CB350 and was going to use clip-ons too. As far as the vibrations go, on my gixxer adding weight to the end of the bar greatly reduced the vibration. Before I added the weights my hands would go numb, that stopped after I added the weights. Check out Motovation.com, thats where i got the weights. By the way, your bike is sick!
Thanks! I am actually a member of a local hot rod club called The Driven Dead C.C. out of Portland. We throw a huge car show every year called the Rose City Roundup. I had to have some pinstriping on my bike to represent the hot rod culture. I think my next bike will probably be a drag bar rockin' brat. Either a 1968-69 cb450 or a cb500 but also like the SR400s on bratsyle.com. It's hard to pick, I just need a fatter wallet and bigger garage, my 59 Ford takes up the entire garage and leaves just enough for my bike and my wife's 74 cb360. Thanks again!hawyn9 said:Nice Job on the bike.....diggin the color choice....has old school feel (Hot rod/bobber) to it.
