New Canadian
« on: December 21, 2016, 04:02:17 PM »
Hey,

Thought I did this once before but it looks like it didn't take.

Anyway, I was fortunate enough to recently find and purchase a 1973 CB350/4 that the previous owner has made into a tribute machine from his youth, the RC-162. I've  tried loading photos into the Gallery here but it's been time consuming. Here is a link to the purchase and quality photos of the bike that I put on a local sport bike forum.

Besides this, I'm lucky enough to have a 2010 VFR 1200 in the garage as well.

I live in the overcrowded and overpriced Lower Mainland of British Columbia and have been riding since '82.

I look forward to the wealth of knowledge stored on sohc4.

Take care.

Welcome to the forum! Though, I must say, the title made it sound as though you may be new to Canada.

350 fours are, I hear, a hella lotta fun to ride.  You're in the right place.  Looks like a fun bike. They all need maintenance - that's why you're here.

Again, Welcome.

Thats a lovely little bike! It "appears" that the front axle clamps are installed backwards? The gap should be oriented to the rear. It may be the picture and angle, but it bears checking  :)

The builder told me the forks are off a CB400, something that will take emulators ........ I neglected to ask if he meant a T or an F. I will definitely look into it.
