Hello from Lawrence Kansas
« on: March 16, 2015, 07:11:16 PM »
My name is Mike, I'm 62 and recently retired.  Like most people who ride bikes my age, I've owned a few.  What brings me here, besides lurking while working on my 74 CB360 CafĂ© racer the last 2 years, is my recent acquisition, a nice 73 CB350F. 

After totally obliterating the CB360 on Do the Ton, http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=43522.0 I wanted to find a bike that my wife and I could putt around town on.  I used to have a 78 CB750A, and I missed the look and feel of the 4 cylinder.

So far I've cleaned and polished the 350F, and the only big problem was the dead coils.  I have Dyna DC8-1 5 ohms on order, and will put a Pamco or Dyna S ignition in after I see how she runs.

One odd thing about the 350F, I have 2 petcocks for the bike.  I've put one of them on eBay if anyone's looking for one.  http://www.ebay.com/itm/231506223937?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

That's it for now.  Thanks to all for being a resource.

Mike

Hey Mick,
That's what the 350F is for.  I started with the 360G and I'm thinking of selling it.  It was a long project, and it was fun, but I'm super excited about getting the 350/4 on the road so both of us can enjoy it.

New Dyna coils are due in today.  Woo Hoo!   ;D
