New CB350F1 owner in the North East

[gtmdriver]

Hi,

I've just picked up a 1974 CB350F1. It's in fair condition with a non standard 4 into 4 exhaust and a metallic black paint finish (although the V5C says it's green).



It was running poorly when I got it but I've cleaned out the tank, re-built the fuel tap and carbs, fitted new points, condensers and plugs, set it all up correctly and it's now running fine.

The horrible fairing is off now but the headlamp lens and rim that came with it don't fit back in the Honda headlamp shell so I'm fitting an after market unit until I can get the correct one.

I don't intend to restore the bike. I just want to tidy it up and ride it.

Does anyone know of a carrier/rack that will fit this bike?

You would have to be very lucky to get a 350 rack in the UK as that model never made it here officialy, a 400 one may fit but you would probably have to remove the rear grab rail

Wow that's one horrible fairing bet your glad that's gone. Nice find otherwise.

Great bike!

Doesn't look to need too much either, good luck with it.
Agreed, the fairing has to go 
I'm the in North East too. Where are you ? PM me if you like

Nice looking 350, looks like a old Police style fairing.

That's exactly what I thought too.

Anyway it's gone now and I've fitted a new chrome headlamp assembly (from Amazon would you believe) which makes the bike look so much better.

Aye, very Hartbeat looking.  I'm sure somebody will want it, possibly for a Police Velocette LE.
