Project CB350F

It should be zinc plated but it had lightly corroded through in places.  I was going to paint it after a lot of rubbing down but changed my mind and had it powder coated . Should be more durable.

That’s a very fresh looking bike! You’ve done an excellent job, well done!

Thanks I’m pleased with the end result but I’ve finished it too late to get much riding in before the weather turns. If I can get it run in ready for spring I’ll be happy. It runs fine but you have to keep it buzzing - there’s not a lot low down!  Hopefully it will be better when it’s run in and I can rev it higher.

The bike is lovely. I really like that.

You have to rev the 400 to get any power so the 350 will be similar.

I have certainly noticed how much better my 400 pulls after a total of a tad over 400 miles since rebuild - so just starting to nudge the revs up.
I'm amazed how much lighter/easier  the 400 feels to ride than my 500, I'm not parting with the 400 either, I just love both of mine with their different characteristics.

Your 350 is very easy on the eye, as other have said its a credit to you, feel free to pat yourself on the back with a job well done.

When I rode my 400 the 260+ miles to and from the DSS event last week it felt like riding a moped! It felt so small compared to the VFR and RE650 with the tank being really thin my knees didn't touch it! I had to learn to rev it again and take it beyond 6000+ to make progress.
When I took the RE out on Tuesday it felt like a tank in comparison

Thats exactly my impression after the VFR and Bandit, it takes a bit of getting used to. I wouldn't like to go on a long trip on it but I think it will be great for shorter runs in the countryside.
