This seat pan was covered in rust, two days submerged in evaporust and a light scrub with steel wool.

Performed my first lace and true on the front wheel. I don't have a truing stand so I turned the frame upside down and temporarily installed the forks. Lacing the new spokes took an embarrassingly long time.

Nice work... Including the photos rather than linking to them works well and it is easier to view them that way... Only need to link to them when size is an issue.

Sprayed my first automotive type paint (epooxy primer, base coat, clear coat) with my $15 harbor freight hvlp gun.  I'm going with a metallic silver like was offered in europe.

Installed Delkevic 4 into 1 exhaust.  I ended up breaking an exhaust stud. So frustrating. The exhaust interferes with the rear brake pedal , so I'll have to figure some way to lower it an inch or so.

Switching to 400F pegs will allow the brake lever to clear the exhaust. It also sets the pegs back about 5-6 inches. You'd need R and L pegs (and linkage) and brake lever.

This is how I adapted the cb400f top triple tree to mount the gauges in the cb350f stock location.

All that's left with the visual stuff is paint the tank and side covers.  Then see if it will run.

Still no pictures showing, not even a link.....

My 4-1 exhaust has room between the pedal and it.

I'm in need of a set of carbs for my 350/f.

Sorry to hijack your thread......

Hey, looks like some can see pics and some can't.  This site is the worst for embedding pics.  If someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong, I'll gladly change.

Got her running pretty good after using the 'twotired' ?  bench sync method, using light.  Audio quality makes it sound clackity, but in person it's quiet. Paint tank and side covers and I'm "done".

Well pretty much completed this project.  Tank and side covers painted and pinstriped.  A little tuning and it'll be ready for it's maiden ride.
