Mmm, any good?
Johnny4428:
Thanks very much Ian. I did wonder about exhausts. Much appreciated.
Oddjob:
Wasn't someone producing 350 exhausts and the first run was really badly welded on the seams? I remember seeing pics of the welding. For some reason I'm thinking Roy Hall.
Orcade-Ian:
I think you are right Ken,
It was poor welding and fit. Roy certainly has or had a 350. That one is a bit dear really as by the time you have shovelled money down its throat trying to make a minter, you would be well past its value. Still could make a reasonable, useable and quite rare classic just tidied up though and still think the 350 is a nicer bike than my 400 - especially as I get older, which I would like to carry on doing!

Bryanj:
Biggest difference is 350 only has 5 gears whilst 400 has 6 and you have to keep stirring the 400 to keep up momentum so not sure about 350
Orcade-Ian:
Exactly Bryan,
The 5 speed box is better for me - I think the 6 speed was little more than a marketing gimmick at the time, to go with the slightly more rear mounted footrests and low bars. The higher bars are very comfortable. In top gear the speedo and rev counter are 'interchangeable' - 5000 rpm is 50mph.
I would part with my 400 before the 350,
Ian
