Hello all,
This forum looks pretty cool so I figured id sign up.

I have a 73 and 74 CB350f.  both are project bikes,  the 74 wont turn over and the 73 needs some work.  Any good parts sources would be appreciated. 

Im an electronics technician from lee's summit MO.  I have never ridden a motorcycle but figured that it would be a fun project to fix at least one of the two bikes up and learn to ride.

that 350 is a nie, fairly light and easy to handle motoryle for your first ride. you really need to learn to do most of if not ALL of the work yourself as sending these cycles out for repair is hit and miss as alot of shops dont know our beloved sohc 4's, you save ALOT of money too. besides working on my 750's is one of my favourite hobbies. welome to the forum!

I'm new here too and rebuilding my 1st street bike, so far I have had great luck getting parts, all OEM stuff so far for the engine. Most of the engine parts I needed have come from Bike Bandit. I got my gasket set from the Old Bike Barn but I know others have had issues ordering from them, maybe I'm just lucky. Good luck on your build.

This link will point you to a good reference for parts, at least I hope it goes to the right place.
