Hello everyone from a CB350F enthusiast in Johannesburg, South Africa!

I currently own three of these bikes, having previously owned one back in the early 80's when we lived in Zimbabwe.  I recently completed a restoration of one and I am currently busy with a second!  The third one is a 'donor' bike which I sourced from Zimbabwe about 2 years ago.  It was a bit of basket case but I had to take it in order to secure the NOS/OEM exhausts which the previous owner had bought but never fitted them to the bike. As it turns out the bike has been an invaluable source of OEM parts for my projects, and you wouldn't believe what I paid for it!

I am also the 2nd owner of a 1981 CB750F (DOHC) which has done less than 13,000 kms since new.  It is totally un-restored and in 100% original, mint condition.

I look foward to tapping into the wealth of knowledge and experience on this website and assisting others wherever possible, but I must warn you that I am technically 'challenged'!

Cheers!

Welcome John. I am also in SA. (Centurion) I'm a 400F guy but do have one 350F that is destined to become a Jim Redman replica racer.

Good to know that I am not alone here in SA!  Jim Redman signed a print for me a week ago at Zwartkops of him on the 350/4 in the 1963 Dutch TT!

I tried to post some photos but they exceed the 256k limit and I can't access the photo gallery "Page cannot be found"
