My New Project (Amber) 73 CB350 Four

WOW man you are really going all out on this one! Nice work! I love the direction you are going! I am doing a 73 CB350f as well but mine is different from yours for some reason? Mine has single disk front brake and my primary cover looks different from yours. Any way, I am going in a different direction too, as you are making yours appear more modern, I will be making mine keep a real vintage look. I am a fan of both looks and have done some modern bike stuff too on other builds. Keep up the work, it is really cool what you have done! I will stay tuned in on this build for sure!

OH, and your CF work looks really good!
 
i cut the side cover to expose the sprocket to give it a racing look. i 'm using the front drum hub off a cl350. i like the old school look of a front drum. thanks for all the compliments. i'm working on some carbon fiber velocity stacks. i just finished the mold so i'm hoping to find time this weekend and make a couple to see how they turn out.
 
got the motor in the frame yesterday ;D

when you cut those holes in the front drum, did you cut in between the webbing? or did you cut through the webbing?

i used a 1 3/4 hole saw and cut betrween the webbing. make sure you tilt the drill table so the bit is perpedicular to the surface or you'll end up with ovals. ;D
 
Love the Exersaucer in the upper left.

i have been there too with my kiddos helping on the builds. course they are usually taking the drivers, or rachet and hiding it in the grass....


nice frame color btw

Amazing work! I've been staring at my CB350 drums for months trying to think up the best way to do my vents and today, this build pops up and voila! REALLY nice work on the drums, looks like the high end 4LS race drums, which is exactly what im going for. Any other process pics on how you did the linkage side vents on the front? Drill holes in the corner then rough cut with a jigsaw and file down to finish? Any advice would be monumental, I just got really excited about my drums now! Thanks for that and keep the posts coming!

Unfortunately I think the black kind of hides the detailed work of the drums.

I wish the CB400 came with drums, or that I had money to find a set.
 
Everything still looks great, but I think you are going to have a problem with the rear suspension travel allowing the tire to come up and contact your rear end sub frame. You may want to redo that to alow the tire about 2 inches of travel above the rear frame rails.

when i measured and welded it up i had a set of 13 inch shocks but the pretty ones in the pic only measure 12. anyone have a nice set off a 750 they want to trade me?

1st- marked where the cut outs would be.
2nd- drilled holes in the corners, and about 1/8 inch apart between the holes in the corners.
3rd- used a dremel tool to connect the holes; then filed it smooth.

i wish i had put another vent at the top or the front hub. i think i may make some sort of carbon scoop on the next one. i have a 350 twin to do after i finish this one.
