CB350F gettin' there

CB350F is gettin' there... Got a seat bump and pan mocked up (it'll get some foam and a proper cover). Seat bump and tank are going to get chromed (or coppered?). Speedo is from a 1965 CB160, tach is aftermarket and will be affixed to the other side when I get some mounts grinded off the triple tree. White plastic thing behind the tank is where the gas is for now -- tank needs to be relined. Clip ons are tight, shaved a little off the fork ears to fit them under the triple tree. CB400F pegs and linkage for 6" further back pegs. Gonna keep the 4-into-4 exhaust, extend it past the pegs and put some megaphone tips on them. Wiring is mocked up with zip ties under the seat. Gotta sort that out, get some more stuff grinded off, powder coat frame... Rode it around today, it's got a nice rumble, and good to know the tach and speedo are both working. This is gonna be a ripper.

Got Maaike's CB200 running today too. Bad condensor = some frustration. Got her front brake sorted too. She needs some new rubber, and we'll get it dialed in. Recovered Ryan's CB550 seat, but the exhaust we had picked out didn't work out. Bob's gave us a refund.
