Only after I adjusted his rear brake when he wasn't looking so it was dragging! ;D

Yes. Similar to ones on the 750 when it was imported. Plenty room at the recycling centre for them!😂

Looking at the pipes on the advertised 350, I see that they have used the system of siamesing pipes 1&2, and 3&4. This gives a rather uneven exhaust note from each side due to those cylinders being at 180 degrees to each other. For a nice smooth note it is far better to join 1&4 along with 2&3. That would give a rather pleasant howl all the way across the Pentland Firth!!!

Never thought of that Micky! Neither did the previous owner by the looks of it. I’m afraid the bike would be rather silent crossing the Pentland Firth as it would be strapped to the deck of a boat! 😜

Oops, typo!!! Should have read "that could be heard all the way across the Pentland Firth". Ancient fingers being operated by a scrambled brain.. Mike.

That makes more sense.😜
Impressed with your knowledge on the Pentland Firth though when you are so far away.

Hi Johnny,
You will obviously be aware that original chimneys are not available and that some on here have experienced problems with the DS copies. The downpipes on that one look useable and I'm not sure if they are still available but MIVV used to do some very nice looking silencers in stainless for the 350/4.
I haven't checked mine but that sidestand looks a long way forward. One tank badge, rear indicators, stems and mounts are about all missing - lots of 350/4 parts available from USA and Europe.
I have quite a few bits kicking about - shout if you end up with it.
Ian
