So thats how it goes together...
« on: April 04, 2015, 02:59:42 AM »
Hi SOHC4 folk,

New to the forum...  I've been riding motorcycles for over 35 years and only mucked about with workings of them when I was young.  So after all this time I've decided to really see what makes them tick or pop or backfire etc.

Sold my 07 Harley Davidson Softail Deuce (had it from new) after a bout of unwellness and was recommended to give up the big bikes..!!!

With the money I made from the Deuce I sourced a very tidy (but not great) CB350F Four which I intend to break down and rebuild as a cafĂ© bike. 

A lot of the stuff on this and other forums is inspirational and gives me confidence to do the job.

So starts the project known as "Berries n' Cream".

I look forward to the answers to a plethora of questions I'll probably ask.

Cheers.
