CB350F Tank Badge interchangeability
« on: February 25, 2025, 01:52:14 PM »
I have been looking for some descent tank badges for my replacement tank for my CB350F. They were proving to be hard to find.
I was looking at my CL200 and the dimensions were identical. Looking at the schematic they had the same pin arrangement as the CB350F.
I found a set on ebay from a CB175 K6.i asked the seller for the dimensions and they were identical to the 350F including pin location. The contour was the only difference..
I assumed they were plastic. I was going to see if I could heat up (boil) and re contour to match the tank . I was pleased to find out when they arrived today that they are made from a very malleable pot metal.
They are all cast with the product code on the back.
So these will all work.i am sure there are many others
333=CB350F
342=CB175
378=CL200

Your source please!!  I got a plastic set and have to heat and re-contour slightly.  Originals were cast, I'd prefer that.  These plastic ones are fine, but I have to repaint the white to get the correct shade (their paint was thin and a bit yellowish).
