Re: CB 350F saved from a lonely life outside...

If you need different linkage than I sent out to you, since the mounting location is different, feel free to send me the originals back, and I can make a set with the specified lengths you need.

Like the project so far. I have a little 350F I need to get to work on.

possibly my rear set brackets....

That looks nice but it appears to be way too low. Rule of thumb is that the pegs should be in line with the swingarm. Maybe slightly lower (1") depending on the droop of the swingarm and seat height.

I would highly recommend going with a heavier tubing for the mounts. You don't want something so lightweight that you can't put any weight in it without it bending.

I plan on putting some plate on the backside of them, they are pretty springy ....those are actually exhaust brackets from an 90's Duc if memory serves me correct....

Nice build so far. I just picked up that same KZ tail with very a similar intent. Looks like you beat me to it.

Re: CB 350F saved from a lonely life outside...

Thanks slug....It was free so it was easy to choose...If I had it to do over you can buy them aftermarket with the seat pan and tail molded as one piece in fiberglass..I had not seen one done with a KZ tail yet so I gave it GO..

Decided to ditch the rear set mounts and use these cut down stocker passenger mounts...plus they fit the look better I think...

That is a heck of a lot more original than grafting on some E-Bay Special brackets. It's is going to look like a factory option.

Re: CB 350F saved from a lonely life outside...

I agree...I hope to get them on permanent this week sometime...I will get a buddy to weld them on and make them look like they were put there from the factory ;D not my ugly welds
