73 cb350 cafe questions.
« on: June 01, 2009, 02:01:21 pm »
alright, heres the deal, im on limited time on this computer and will be for a while until i get settled in in my new house in the next few months, soooo... ive used the search function but mostly found 750 stuff on the topics.  so im askin for the 73 cb350f. 

1. has anyone sucessefully found, used and is currently using a sla battery that works and doesnt die and drain to fast with very few items to draw from.  this coming winter, im rewiring my bike to use just the following.  high beam only, brake light and tail light.  i made a small cafe seat bump out of an old motocross tank and plan on placing the battery under the seat bump.  so i have limited space for both the battery and the way its mounted.

2.  ive also read about the dyna s ignition...i dont know anything about wiring bikes, so bare with me.  i want to cut out as much as possible from the wiring harness ill be recreating...so what all would going to an electronic ignition allow me to get rid of besides points?  is there a better system than the dyna s? 

sorry, but like i said, limited library internet time, so i cant sit and read for hours... any and all help will be much appreciated.. thanks, lee.

Not sure about the battery....check the project threads for cafe'd 350F's....

and as for the Dyna S, I think all it replaces is the points system and uses the stock coils. The Dyna is a well proven unit and I'm not even sure if there are other makes available.

   for your bike a dyna-s will prolly be just fine but drop some cash on thier coils as well.   As far as the battry goes on my 350 i used a gel cel out of a honda CRF450X. its very small and it can be mounted on its side(or upside down for that matter) so it would prolly be great for your bike. And just to save yourself some trouble get a battery tender and hard wire it in so you dont have to remove yor seat to maintain your battery
