tires and suspebsion
« on: March 30, 2015, 04:27:53 PM »
Hey guys.
 Does anyone know the specs for the cb350f's rear suspension? I was planning on getting a better suspension. Mine are from 73 and I bounce around a lot. I'm a little confused on the spring weight specs. I'd like the bike to look the same and not be raised up but have a better suspension since my girlfriend usually rides on the back. I usually weight 140 and she weighs around 160

Would anyone also know the front tire dimensions? I thought this would be a good tire:

However I don't know what a good bang for your buck tire is

That is a great bang for the buck tire, but not from Bike Bandit [I never shop there].

Here it is for $47...

I just bought a set for my RD350, they are made in Japan. [I avoid China for all bike parts, especially tires]. Get new tubes and rim strips too.

Sorry, can't help with your suspension question, I don't know the 350F.  Not made for two up, though, have you considered a bigger bike?

I'm 5 10 and weigh 140 I'm pretty skinny. I thought about a 500  but I'm also young and broke and got my bike last summer. The condition of my bike is pretty good so I feel like it would be a hassel to find another good condition bike

I'll just go for it. Thanks for the advice man. I'm going to call up a guy that sells hagon springs.
