Hello to all forum members, I'm looking forward to being involved in the community.
I've just bought my first Honda, a 1974 CB350F in Candy Bacchus Olive. It was imported in 1980 and featured in the book "The Essential Buyers Guide to Honda SOHC Fours by Peter Henshaw.
According to the PO it is mostly original and unrestored, although the handlebars, mirrors and shock absorbers are not standard. It still has the original factory 4/4 exhausts although number 4 has had a few minor repairs and could probably do with replacing, if I can find one. The chrome is all original and in good condition but the paintwork is badly sun damaged and I am having it professionally resprayed. I did think about keeping it original but I just couldn't live with it.
Feedback and comments are most welcome.
