Texas CB350 Twin
« on: June 07, 2009, 06:29:59 PM »
Hey guys, figured I'd post a few pics of my newest project.  I believe it's a '72 model CB350.  Sticker on the front frame is dated 10 of 71, so it could even be a late model 71.  I don't know where to run the vin.  It doesn't have a title, but I hear I can get one pretty easily.  I'm new to the motorcycle world, but it doesn't look too difficult.  I've been wrenching on chevy's for a long time and have had a vw super beetle project I've been working on the past couple of years.  Hopefully it won't take that long for the Honda.  It's in relatively good condition so it shouldn't take much.  I've already found a shop manual for it online that is gonna help a bunch.  Anyhow, enjoy the pics.





Little bit of rust on the tank, but I'm hoping to repair it.



That's right, less than 5500 original miles.

That tank looks like it may be good for straining spaghetti.

That bolt is prolly a bad thing. I have a stock 73 cb350 twin tank you can have if you are going that direction. It has a couple small dings that are an easy fix. lemme know if you want it. I'm in Ohio, but I'm sure freight won't be too bad.
