Hi everyone from Medford, WI.

I've been modifying my bikes since i could ride one, so why stop now? I've had a '70 cb350 twin sitting around for about four years now and finally decided to do something with it.

She's in rough shape but it'll buff out.

Gonna go minimalistic cafe racer on this build. The Crowe/Tarantulas CB750 is my inspiration on this one.

I've been at this project for about three months now so its about time i start a build thread.
Definitely not my first bike project, but i want to take this one a little further than my last bikes as far as stripping it down to the bare essentials.

Here's some pics of past projects.

"bumblebee" First cafe build. the exhaust note on this bike would carry for miles...

"Kaiser" 10HP Yanmar diesel coupled to a cb350 trans.

"TJW" Kubota diesel with hydrostatic drive.

"widow maker" My dad named this one after i put it in the ditch at 70 mph. I still hate sandy corners.

I'll have to start that build thread soon for the 350. Later

Hey neighbor! ...I'm in Marshfield I welcome you to DTT as a fellow noob

Love your builds, especially the military style diesels... very interesting and unique. Fantastic work.

I still hate sandy corners.

I hear you there. I used to have a little enduro that I bombed around town on, ripping around a corner one day the rear tire got into a little bit of sand and before I even knew what happened I was on my side and slammed into the curb... not cool

I look forward to seeing the transformation of your 350, I've got a couple of those myself. Judging by your previous work, I'm sure whatever you do with it will be good.
