'72 CB 350 four "Whatsitgonnabe"
« on: April 17, 2013, 05:39:53 PM »
I bought this gem in all her glory back around October of last year and have since been trying to get her running the best she can.  I am about as far as I plan on going with that part so now it is on to the cosmetics.  It would have been nice to do a restore, but I just can't drop the cash on Candy Bacchus Olive and new chrome so I am going to stay mostly stock with just a few changes.  I had initially planned to go the cafe route, but have since decided to go the more subtle route.  Presently, I am deciding what I want to do with the seat, but enough of my rambling.  Let's see some pictures.

How she came home


New euro bars


Bobbed fender from a CB500


How she sits now


Led running light under fender and stock turn signals with red lenses converted to dual intensity to serve as turn and brake lights


Spare seat pan ready to be created into something better

I like the white. Much better than olive green.

Cool lights.

Seat needs a bit of attention......

Been riding and tinkering.  Time is near for new gaskets due to the old girl marking her territory (oil leak)   Almost ready to cover the seat.  I have been adding a layer of foam and riding a while until I have got the feel that I like.  Now I am just trying to get the right look.  Contemplating on rounding off the back as well as taking a little off the top of the rear.  Your thoughts appreciated.
