Greetings from the frozen Chicagoland
« on: January 30, 2019, 05:25:51 PM »
Hi Guys, my name is Jacob. I’ve been looking and gathering ideas for along time form the forum. I think I bought my Hondaman ignition in 2013... I have a Cb350f that I just picked up a 400f engine for. I have been slowly collecting all the pieces for her till I get the space to really dig into the project. I also have a few non SOHC bikes 74 cb125 stock, 75 cb125 w 80 xl125 engine and a 145cc big bore, 73 cl350, 63 and 65
C100 one modded one project, Mb5 project, 02 Suzuki bandit, and a cl70. (I think that’s all of them garage is pretty nippy right now)
Nice to finally meet you all
Jacob

Welcome! 

I lived on Chicago's south side (113th and Halstead) for awhile as a kid.  Now in Marquette, Mi about 350 miles from you.  I have a CB350F - 1973.  Its not fully restored as I would like to leave it pretty much as a survivor .  So far I have had the carbs rebuilt and K&N pods added.  I could not find a reasonably priced 4 into 2 exhaust so went with a Delkevic 4 into 1 megaphone.  Had the carbs set for them.  The Delkevic works very well on it and really sings when you hit the powerband.  I also have a 2014 Harley Ultra Glide with the wetheads.  That is touring, the Honda is for in town and such.  Now if only I could find a set of Bacchus Olive side covers.....

Almost forgot... If you want to sell one of the CB's or the CL I would be interested.  Just love the old, smaller Hondas. I used to have a 160 Scrambler.  It ran even with a hole in the tranny case

Badger - I’ll keep you in mind if I decide to sell one. The CL has crossed my mind a few times but still undecided.

Stev-o - I was building a type R swapped crx years ago and the name just stuck with me. Now I have a 90 civic hatch w a j spec type R swap. Since the old car got shortened by an s-10. My grandpa loves the old vetts I keep trying to talk him into another one.
