Purchassed new bike today,well really 2

Pictured- 1972 honda cb350 cafe style??--runs great-came with bunch o spares and 3 sets of new points-2 carbs kits-6 different spockets, and ect. Even has a title

Not pictured-1972 honda cl175- great shape motor just stuck- We will try some trans fluid and if that doesnt work she's getting stripped

Been buying bikes right and left, starting business selling Honda CB, and sportster parts..........this 350 would seem ashame to rip apart

That bike takes me back.  When I had my XL 350 thumper a friend of mine who passed on 10 years ago had a 350 Honda like that one except it was red.  Those were fun days.  He used to ride to work rain-or-shine all summer at Darien Lake and it's about 25 miles each way.  From what I remember the bike held-up even though it was a roach.  Re-upholstering the seat and some paint would make that bike look great.  Great news it runs well.

Sweet!!  My first street bike was a '73 CB350, it was a tank!  And it taught me to appreciate CDI ignitions   :laugh:

Thanks guys, the cb125 just sold

I figured out the pipe is off a ducati...its sounds pretty mean

I got some offers on the tank, motor, and pipe, so even though it runs great she might be getting stripped. I did take it for a ride and its a ton of fun.-------EDIT- Gave bike a full tune up, po siad he rebuilt carbs so I took them off and had a look, everything seems to be new. The timing and points were right on as were the valves. Only problem is the tach drive leaks some oil onto the head easy fix. Hate to part this one out with a clean title. Will sell bike as is needing tires for $750...with or $1000 with $250 worth of new tires (tires have great tread but are cracked and dont feel right sending someone off on them)
