Hi, have had Hondas in past years in between Kawaskis in 70s and 80s. 66 305, 75 550 and 77 750F2. Joined because I just picked up a 73 350 4 in green. 2 owner bike with 6900 miles. Incredibly original except exhaust, it has 400F head pipe with generic muffler. Has all the stickers on tank about wearing a helmet etc. Started cleaning tank, bike sat in a basement unridden since 1990.
Thanks for accepting me.

Welcome aboard, dig those 350Fs.

Do you know if the PO switched out the brake lever, pegs and shifter? I've found that although the 400F exhaust bolts right up the stock peg setup for the 350F doesn't allow much brake travel. One solution is to switch out for 400F pegs, lever and linkage. It moves the pegs back about 5-6 inches but the lever clears the exhaust.

And let's see some photos.
