1973 cb350
« on: November 30, 2019, 06:18:28 AM »
Good morning. Scott here. I have the opportunity to buy a 1973 CB350 Honda. It appears to be all original & in very good condition. My only question at this point is do you all think 42,000 miles is to many for that bike? Would you think the engine or any other aspect of the bike might need attention? What would be something I might look out for? Thanks. :)

As long as the bike had basic maintenance and care 42,000 miles is considered low. Be sure the engine will turn over and better yet if you can drive it. If she sat for a while was the tank and carbs drained and is it clean. Title? I did a 73 CB350 a few years ago and it was a fun bike, but I felt cramped on it. I'm 6 foot and just got spoiled on the CB750. Good luck and post some pics when you can.

 Is it a twin ? I find they don't last near as long as a four. And they vibrate a lot. Lots of parts out there,  but Hipo stuff seems pricey compared to four stuff.
