Another CB350 Four Cafe Project
« on: November 25, 2008, 06:21:54 PM »
"Honda 1972 CB350F For Sale $1000" was how the add read, I mulled it over and finally decided to go and have a look

Not running, clutch solid, front brakes seized, "Its been in the shed for ten years, the motor was rebuilt just before putting it away" said he
"of course it was............" thought I

Looking at the condition I wasn't really interested so I made a token offer "I'll give you $250" said I "OK" said he ("bugger" thought I)

Anyway, got it home with the intention of getting it running first, went through the usual checks, plugs, points, carbs, oil change (getting the oil filter off was another problem, I can make suggestions if anyone has the stuck fast bolt). All looked good....

Put a battery on it and thought I'd hit the starter just to see what happened, she started and sat there burbling away, she just wanted to go.

So now I've moved into resto mode, I'm not heading for an original look, rather the Cafe look.

Here are some pics of it when purchased and the progress so far.

Cheers for now from Oz
