CB350F Restoration by royhall (NOW FINISHED)
kent400:
The CB350f gauges are angled drive, the ones in the image are straight ones and these have only one bulb to illuminate the gauges. As far as I recall there should be two. I would suggest the ones sent by DK are an early 350 twin and I would have thought with the number of 350F's that DK have though their hands they would know they were wrong. If you look on ebay USA there are quite a few 350f gauges so at the very least you will be able to see the correct ones, fair to say those listed are rough but could be restored.

Thanks Kent (can I call you that). Strangely I have just posted a thread about these clocks to see if somebody in the know could identify them. We must have been typing at the same time. They are most definitely not 350F, I think they must have got wrongly labeled at their warehouse, as I have never had a problem with DK before. Just looking for a model range they came from so I can stick em back on eBay. Cheers.

I reckon CB450K4 :D

Been a busy weekend of stripping bike parts and bagging up.

Got then engine on the bench at last, doesn't look too corroded so should split okay.

The head, barrels and pistons are burned black. Lots of evidence of piston ring failure. Think a re-bore and new pistons coming up soon.

Gearbox looks good so just the cush drive rubbers and seals there really. Bearings feel like new.

That's the engine apart, now for the frame to get it out for powder coating. Will need to look into finding a good painter for the coloured bits.

Thats my favourite part taking things apart, then they tend to stay like that for a long time
