I might look for a CB550, as they have the right amount of power and weight (and ULEZ exempt 😁).Dave, do you know if Historic Motorbikes are exempt - something I haven't thought about until now.....Matt

What content in the last 5 posts has anything to do with Phil's 'Money-Pit' CB350K0 restoration. Nice buy Phil. Do you have the bike at home yet and if so, what state are the mega rare one-piece exhausts in ? Funny, we never got Pine Green bikes here and the USA never got Sardine Blue like we did (both solid colours)Luckily it's not still sporting the hydraulic cam chain tensioner ...what a disaster that was. You will need to check out the rubber diaphragms on the early squared-off bowl carbs. They were notorious for splitting and the pressed together diaphragm / slide assembly expensive to replace although I believe NPR does a replacement kit, which involves cutting off the top plastic retainer ring though.
Hmm .. I wonder !
