Hello from WA State
« on: January 25, 2025, 05:44:09 AM »
Hello all!  I am a new member from WA state.  I have ridden motorcycles since I got my Honda SL70 when I was 12.  Now I have around 10 bikes in my shop.  My current project is a 1973 CB350 Four that I purchased from a friend who started the project but could not complete it due to health reasons.  It has been upgraded with a GSX front end, aluminum wheels and a Yamaha XS850 tank.  I should be starting the bike after its long slumber in a few days.

His plan was for a Cafe Racer or CR350 Four.  I am not comfortable riding a CR so I changed the plan to make it what I call a CB350 Four Sport.  A CB350 Four with a sporting suspension.

I am a total motorhead:  Motorcycles, Cars, 4X4s, Boats, Outboards, almost everything except maybe the weed wacker.

Welcome aboard from NH.
I drove around the peninsula in 1977 with my buddy in his 66 Chevy pickup on our cross country late fall escape. The rain forest was great and the huge trees being trucked to the mills were mind blowing to a 21 year old carpenter.

Update:  The CB350 Four that I am working on started on Sunday after it's long slumber of probably 15 or 20 years.  Rebuilt the carbs, changed oil, fogged the engine, new points, plugs, and condensers.  She fired up pretty quick and sounds good!  She should be on the road by spring.
