Topic: Hello and a new project!

[RockinCB350F]

Hello everyone.

Been riding and modifying bikes for over 20 years and 2 days ago I traded my neighbor a shotgun for his 73 Honda CB350F. 

Naturally I began taking it down to the frame... Going to be fun!  I've even got my wife into it.  She is helping me tear down and rebuild so she can know how bikes work. Likely, I'll even teach her to ride on the thing!

Just thought I'd drop in and introduce myself. Looks like a good site here and I hope to pop in regularly and update my progress on the CB350F.

Here is how it looked as I pulled it into the garage and started taking it down:

And, closer to how it looks now (although I've nearly got it down to engine and frame):

welcome and congrats on your newest project you got going. looks like it's a decent bike to start off with. i must say that tearing down the bike is more than half the fun  look forward to seeing this project progress.

Yea, it is a decent bike.  It runs, and has a box full of parts that aren't shown...like signals and the right side cover (the left is broke).

Now my dilemma...do I go with a full blown restoration and try to make it look factory fresh? OR do I try and make it look nice and slick but not worry about keeping things accurate?

Oh the decisions...
