Irish/Belgian newbie.
« on: January 26, 2011, 02:58:20 AM »
John here, and Irishman living in Ghent belgium.
I have kind of inherited a basket case of a CB 350 four from a friend, its got a 400 four motor in it with burned out valves and is generally in "save me now before its too late" condition. This is my first inline four as i'm actually a Lambretta scooter nut who normally enjoys tuning small wheeled two stroke singles so i'm here to get as much help with my new project as possible.
Hope you will all be patient with me? ;D

Here are two photos of my new money pit, i'm hoping to finish it off with a period full fairing and some trick rearsets and clip ons, but first.......get it running!





this is my usual thing

Belgium?? Jeepers, lad I knew things were bad in Ireland but not that bad :D Anyway welcome to the forum. One of the best there is, if not the best. Lots of good guys here, and knowledgeable from all over the world. I reckon the yanks are all asleep now, it being in the middle of the night for them, but as soon as they rise and shine they'll be chiming in here.

Hi John.

Pop over to www.sohc.co.uk and join the local bunch. Use the same username so that we recognise you.

Not many 350s over here to be honest - but more local support!
