CB350 Resto-Mod Cafe'

[Razor]

The Honda CB350 seemed to a good starting point. After talking with a good friend... he just happened to have one. A few minutes of negotiation, and a 1972 CB350 made it home.

Mono shock rear from 2000 CBR600

Inverted front forks with dual disc brakes (yes, I love overkill) 2008 GSXR750

Used CBR rear wheel being blasted before powder coat

Some frame mods, machined a few parts, and it's starting to look like something

Engine disassembled. Ready for cleaning & inspection

Took me a while, found a 1970 CB350 tank.

Extended the counter shaft to align the sprockets

Here's where the project stands.

All the lights will be LED. The headlight has three super bright LED's. Low beam is top, single, high beam is all three (blinding). The GSXR has a "pass" switch on the left control. Normally it flashes the high beam, but might use it to engage a strobe through the turn signals.

Tach/Speedo is from SpeedHut. Larger gauge is the tachometer. Unit has a rev light, turn signal indicators, high beam and an LCD display with multiple functions.

Holy cow..the worlds most exotic and expensive CB 350!

That's a lot of work it appears. Should be cool when you are done.

That's quite some project, Razor. Look forward to seeing it unfold.

Can I come live with you?

I have ridden a stock CB350 so it should be interesting how this pans out.

This Honda 350 keeps coming into my life. See this post from an Australian forum.

Nope, sorry Pete. Not taking any boarders at this time

If you like this stuff; I've got another, but it's got four wheels.

Gobsmacked I am. Razor you're an inspiration. Please continue your excellent posts and photos.:beerchug:

Sorry..motorcycle forum. I'm sure many would like to see it, but it kind of goes against the rules.

 

[CIP57_imp]

Amazing the time and patience it takes to do what you do, I think I would be overwhelmed looking at that parts table. Looking forward to the completed project.

Great work! the most interesting man in this forum............

 

[dUh!]

I think I have seen this somewhere before - On a different forum maybe? Somewhere ??

For those interested in Razor's other project, following this link may prove interesting.

wow, I will be following this project with great interest !

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

Good question. The frame was only spot welded from the factory. I've gone ahead and welded the seams, added plates to the spline for the rear suspension, fabbed a spline support and triangulated support braces which incorporate the rear sets.

Here's some pics. Some don't show the final welds, although it's been done.

Plates, holes were plug welded, then outer edges were welded also

This is the center spline support. Got welded on the top, center & bottom

Thanks again for your interest.

Beautiful work Razor. Ever thought about doing a single-sided swing arm conversion?
