Looks like early 350 triple.

*but I'm no 350 expert

Checked on eBay for several older Honda's, it doesn't match any that I have seen for CB160, CB200, CB350, CB450... are you sure it's a Honda triple tree?
Can you measure the forks tube diameter on the triple tree, might help id it if we knew the tube diameters.

That's some serious offset! Holy.

It's on ebay. I did the same thing... many of them have risers. CB350F has a dash, not bar clamps. CB400F is similar but different. Seller ignoring requests for measurements.

I think all early 350s had risers, same with cb450

Trust me you don't want to ride a CB 350 without rubber mount handlebars..

rupaulpierce · « **Reply #7 on:** March 13, 2018, 12:03:17 PM »

its for a cb350 four, so far so good

Nah, don't think it's for a CB350F, that one has too much of a gap at the fork tube circle, and looks like it has washer/spacers.

The CB350F, which is what I have in the garage doesn't look like that.

It's purdy darn close though.

Neither 350F nor 400F, but as to what... I dunno.

setdog · « **Reply #10 on:** March 14, 2018, 08:01:02 PM »

those squared off handlebar clamps are pretty unique

look up the Honda 74 75 76 XL100 XL 100

something in that era model range

Here you go......:::::::

rupaulpierce · « **Reply #12 on:** March 15, 2018, 10:48:05 AM »

NICE! Unfortunately that makes the forks tubes 31mm. I need 33mm.

gschuld · « **Reply #13 on:** March 15, 2018, 08:53:30 PM »

Cb350/360 trees are 33mm

They are, but I'm looking for a triple without rubber handlebar mounts similar to the CB350/400 fours.

Here's the background. I have a cb350f and I want to put a cb77 bucket on it with the integrated gauge and idiot lights built into the bucket. Looking for the right upper triple to work with the bucket. CB350F has a dash handlebar clamp that I would swap out for plain bar clamps. CB400F has this plain triple, but the shape is less elegant because it's formed for the ignition up against the triple. If I can find a spare 350f bridge, I would grind the gauge mounts off and replace the dash with clamps.

I am assuming you tried mounting the CB77 bucket onto the stock 350F fork ears? I've done this (although it might hav been a CB160 bucket) with only minor finangling of the fork ears.

WhyNot2 · « **Reply #16 on:** March 16, 2018, 01:50:20 PM »

I'd like to see that, do you have any inspiration photos of one that's been done?

Or maybe pix of your mock ups.

carnivorous chicken · « **Reply #17 on:** March 16, 2018, 01:59:29 PM »

I'll try to dig one up...

rupaulpierce · « **Reply #18 on:** March 16, 2018, 10:16:03 PM »

I'll post when I get into it.

I like that.........guess, I'm gonna have to keep my eyes peeled.

Where did you source the lights from?

Very cool, love those vintage speedo/tach combo units.

Idiot lights are 12mm bolt bulbs from super bright LEDs. Headlight is an H4 from eBay. LED headlight bulb from super bright LEDs.
