the start of (yet another) project
picked this up today for next to nothing. already swapped the bars for some low bars, and took aff all the un-needed junk (signals, rear grab bar, etc)
it'll actually clean up pretty nice. been sitting for a loooong time. it does run, sorta, but nothing a good carb clean and a new set of plugs won't fix.
not gonna do anything major to this one (i've said that before though) just gonna clean it up real nice and build a mild cafe style bike out of it. something with suspension to ride on longer road trips, that sort of thing.
here's where it stands at the moment (have no idea why, but someone put short shocks on the back, so the ride hieght is all goofy)
1972 honda cb350 4 cylinder
yes, in the bedroom.... i need a garage!!

Re: the start of (yet another) project
i like nostalgia i guess. besides, i figure for the price of a new bike, i can have a whole fleet of old bikes that i built myself
what??
i bet this lil 350 is as fast as your 500, and has more character, lol.
don't go shakin your head till you see the finished project.
