Are they going free James ;D

JamesH:
Errr, free in the sense that they are 'available' and free for someone to make me a sensible offer for them :-). Boxed, brand new and never used...

Bummer .. should have looked closer at front end..maybe not so good then. I know someone who has a minter and he's a big sandcast and 400/4 man. He says the 350F is an absolute  delight to ride but gutless. The power output is 34 bhp but my \69 350K1 twin which is in fact only 325cc but develops 36 bhp. My point on this bike though is that if DK ever list a bike have a look at the wheel rims as it's usually a good indication of the rest of the chrome. Those two guys who do the eBay bike sales there are really helpful and honest.. a breath of fresh air really compared with other 'traders'. If a bike doesn't sell call them as soon as the auction finishes and ask for a deal. What I find is they sometimes list a bike, it doesn't sell on eBay 1st time around  then second time it goes for good money with several bidders.

The frames are almost identical around the headstock as 400, so quite strong, but it still needs stanchions and possibly yokes.  Paint and decals are easy so just an exhaust system really.  Hope the mice have left the seat!

As we all know though, it soon adds up to big numbers, depending on how fussy you are for originality and you can still buy a minter for around 3k  Still like 'em though!

Initially, It looks tatty but look at the state of the chrome on it  (rims guards etc. ). Thing is it does not have standard exhausts but if it did it woud be advertised at a much higher price but the exhausts would probably  still need expensive rechroming, if you can find someone to do it. ( have been quoted 125GBP each for my CB350 twin ones C/W downpipe but only after he has left them  filled with hot caustic soda  for a month).

You can get some good projects at DK Motorcycles. I have recently purchased a CB550 from them and it is coming along nicely. You do have to do the maths with regard to renovating though. The carburetors, and engine are the main concern, as if the bike is a US import, it could have been standing for years, so it is best if you can visit the showroom to check out the bike first and make a list of what you will have to spend on it.
