my CB350 bobber/cafe project
« on: June 26, 2008, 10:06:43 AM »
please excuse the messy shop, we are in the process of painting and re doing the whole thing so it is empty... this is my budget bobber, it is a 1973 CB350... i am allowing $350 bucks for this build not 1 cent more! (i have to get tires, paint supplies, brake pads, \\;and wheel bearings as well out of that 350 so it will be a challenge. \\; tonight i did mock up for the rear end, cut off the fender struts, putting on sporty shocks (I wil never own a hard tail again) just going low and lean... will be race wired for kick start only, have headlight and brake light, that is all.... this is what is going to get me to and from work every day... i will do a custom paint job, just cause i have the equiptment to do it... but any ways here is "STONES" BR937 (ooh ya i already did the motor and got that running) it will be a mix cafe bobber throw back, with all Sigma Nu colors Black and Gold

Only $350? Hopefully you can mange your money better than me, in that case.

If the solo seat and stock tank is any indication, then it's going to be promising. Looking forward to it.

$350 yikes that's how much I am budgeting just for my tires!
Never a big fan of the CB350, we had 3 in the family and all had that unmistakable vibration in the frame, cafe/bobber is probably the best thing to do with them as reliability was their major strong point.
I think the thing I most like about motorcycling is the speed at which my brain must process information at to avoid the numb skulls who are eating pies, playing the ukulele, applying make-up etc in the comfort of their airconditioned armchairs as they make random attempts to kill me!!!!!!!

I see a lot of horse trading and swap meets in the future on this build.
No matter how fast or how far I rode, I couldn't leave her memory behind.
