New seat? New Bars?
« on: June 21, 2006, 02:18:59 PM »
Man I have been looking for a cafe racer seat to fit on my 1974 CB350F1. I cant find them anywhere. Does anyone have any ideas? Also, I was curious about getting some cafe bars to give it that great look, but I didnt want some that would make it too uncomfortable. I have the stock bars on it now, so I was figuring a few inches. I just dont know anything about bar sizes if they even exist. Any wisdom would help.

Welcome to the site  ;D

Their are allot of places you can look for seat ideas, this site being a big one.
ou can check out Carpy's cafe site at HTTP://WWW.CB750CAFE.COM as h sells lots of "cafe" parts, like custom seats, patches, etc.. Or just GOOGLE "cafe" or "cafe racer seats" and see what comes up (allot I am sure).

I have been thru two sets of bars on my bike thus far. When I bought the bike it had some nasty bars on it, which I called mini apes. Then I went to a lower "superbike" ar, andnow I have a set of clip-ons which are mountd above the top triple-tree to help my achin back. The bike (as it sits now) is actually really comfy to ride..A lower seat will just add to the comfort, as well as a set or rearset controls (near future)...

Stock bars

SuperBike bars

Current Bars


Good luck on your build ,and keep us posted.....

How wide are the frame rails on the 350?
