Have you ever considered moving from snowy Michigan to beautiful Asheville ?
This has nothing to do with me loving to have you live close to me .....

Wow. Nice stuff.

This is going to be one of the more unique CB350s running around !

I wonder.. without more bracing, will the frame be able to take the pounding from the new front and rear ?

One of my best friends lives in northern Wisconsin. Every winter he calls me and cusses his ancestors for moving to that part of the country. Now his kids and grand kids have him anchored there. He hopes he dies in the summer (not this summer) because he is afraid the ground will be too frozen to dig a proper grave if he goes in the winter lol

Haven't done a whole lot, but thought I'd post some updates.

Will have just enough clearance to remove the drain plug

Haven't decided the style of tips, but here's some options. Let me know which one youd choose or maybe you've got something else in mind.

Still need to fab a rear mount, and a sleeve for the #1 pipe.

Cut the swingarm bolt (was about an inch too long)

İmage

Machined a small spacer so the right mirror would clear the controls. I'll paint it to match.

Really want to go with a hydraulic clutch. Challenge is mounting the slave and somehow having a way to have clearance between the slave piston and push rod.

Machined a piece that will get welded onto the side cover.
İmage

The slave cylinder will mount to it.

Sheesh! And I was content when I learned how to do a basic service and valve adjustment on my bike...this is serious craft and skill! Thumbs Up

I can't wait to see the finished product.

RE: CB350 Resto-Mod Cafe'
Great bike and nice work! I just saw one out on the road earlier today in LA.

I'm in the middle of a resto on my '75 400F Super Sport.
I'm getting ready to sandblast and powder coat the frame.

Quick question; did you paint the engine or just give it a good cleaning?


I gotta say that I'm more than a little jealous of that garage of yours......
