Re: My first bike project
fix your clubman bars! the need to be rotated up about 70 degrees so you get the drop the bars are supposed to have. i just sold like 50 nos cb350f items on ebay. i love the way the motor just begs to be redlined! it reminds me of a supercharged motor. good looking bike though. but you need some rear sets. sorry, but most bikes with clip ons or clubmans kill my back if they don't also have rear sets. lets see a pic with the new paint!

lol..they aren't clubman bars...there are like bicycle bars i think. I am going to ride her the way she is till next winter, then I will break her down and clean the motor, bolts and all the rusty spots,I will be cutting the passenger pegs off,powder coating the frame, putting clip ons or clubman bars on and doing a nice paint scheme. The paint is a satin black for the meanwhile as pictured. As for the rear sets, I want to get comfortable with riding her first before I do mods like that. Lord even still I would have to do someresearch to even find rear sets for her.

Re: My first bike project
the tail light wasnt hooked up yet so you see a wire hanging down! I drove her yesterday I went 55..dont laugh cuz Ive only been up too 45. It felt like the wind was going to blow me off the bike. I guess that is typical for a light bike

Re: My first bike project
Ok so my bike has a tude! i have driven her like 4 or 5 times now with out a lick of issues. OMG I so love my bike!!! Well Shane has driven her a few times and has had issues almost every time, he drove her last night and broke down on the jrb. The baffle (sp) came out from trying to get it started and he was able to ride to the gas station. I hate the way it sounds with out the baffle. I am gonna go back through the bike. Clean the tank and carbs then eliminate the points. Shane said it felt better without the baffle...idk what to do about that??? Watch I will ride her with no issues in a couple of days! lol
