Hi all, cb350 in a box...
« on: March 26, 2020, 04:12:34 PM »
Time to introduce myself. I recently bought a cb 350 four in a box. The previos owner started dismantling the bike and then it got in a corner in the garage... This is my first motorcycle restauration, i am more used to car restos. The bike is fairly compleet, missing the headlights and blinkers. First discovery home was that is has a cb 400 four 6 speed engine...
I started the rebuild and had the engine dismantled. No nasty surprises, a broken exhaust stud and some stuborn nuts, but that is what you can expect.[size=78%]

Now mesuring and cleaning. Ordered new gaskets, seals, pistons at david silver and then starting the rebuild. To be continued...[/size]

I believe that would be a '75 motor according to this...
