My 350 project

(1/17) > >>

Tiny Tim:
Just had the first real prod and a poke of my 350 project.
First impressions are good, obviously it will need a complete strip down and a few quid thrown at it.

What I've discovered so far is.

A dealers sticker :)
Some interesting wiring :o
What looks like some kind of resin on the bottom of the tank :-\
The original exhausts have rotted where the down pipes and mufflers meet, mufflers have split along the seams :-[
Fuel tap bowl has been screwed in so tightly to the tap it's self has broken >:(
Lots of dust, sand and dead spiders.

On the plus side I do have working indicators, main beam, idiot lights, a pretty decent seat and a spark :)

The main aim this weekend is to get the engine started briefly just to make sure it's not making any nasty noises. Then I'll start the strip and list writing.

Well that's the next couple of years weekend entertainment sorted out, now I just need lots of cash.

More as it happens

Drew400:
Nice one Tim.

Shame your pics aren't a bit bigger.

Well done on finding the spiders. They probably kept the flies away.

I found the world's oldest wasp behind my engine. I reckon he/she was 40 years old... albeit a bit crispy!

All the best for your two year project (have you seen the 'cheap' exhaust ad on the forum home page? - http://www.sohc.co.uk/index.php/topic,8054.msg52405/topicseen.html#new).

Cheers, D.

Hi Tim,
Welcome to the forum from another 350 nut.  Plenty of stuff out there to get you up and running.
I have some odds and ends available and lot's of 400/4 bits are compatible.  Shout if you need any info/help

If you need a set of new 4-4 CB350F pipes I have a brand new boxed set. Bought for a project last year and ended up not needing them. Believe they are Sankei stamped OEM pipes.

Tiny Tim:
Cheers guys.
Looking forward to getting this bike back on the road.
One question I have, is there a time limit from when a bike is registerd on the nova database until the v5 etc is applied for?

One part I definitely need is a fuel tap. Mine is beyond repair.

I'll try and get bigger pictures up next time.

Tim
