A little late to catch all the summer rain but I've finally finished reconditioning and repainting my Honda CB350F.



I've replaced

Chain and sprockets
Swinging arm bushes
Swinging arm pivot pin
Rear spring dampers
Rear brake shoes
Rear wheel bearings

Steering head bearings
Fork legs (re-chromed)
Fork seals
Front wheel bearings
Master cylinder internals
Front caliper seals
Brake hoses
Brake pads

Regulator/rectifier
Flasher unit
Battery
Front indicators and stalks
Pattern exhausts

OEM headlamp and shell
OEM ignition switch location

and I've repainted the tank, side panels, fork shrouds and the headlamp shell.

It's not the Honda Custom Bacchus Olive. I wasn't keen on that. It's Rover British Racing Green Metallic.

Originally the headlamp shell was black but I think it looks better in the same colour as the rest of the bodywork.

Well done, that's looking great! The average Joe public wouldn't know it wasn't a factory paint colour, it really suits it. So get out and have some fun on it, I'm sure it will draw a crowd wherever you go!

mike the bike:
You've made a goid job of that.  What sort of paint did you use on the tank, rattle cans or something else?

gtmdriver:
No. I took my life in my hands and did it in 2k primer, polyester base coat and 2k clear coat.

The gold stripes are paint not vinyl graphics.

The gold was sprayed on to the primer then the stripes were masked off and the green sprayed over the top.

When the tape was removed the whole lot was clear coated.
