Extensively Documented Frame Up RestorationBike is available to be seen 6 days a week and is located in Westhampton Beach This '73 CB350F is fresh out of a full engine-out cosmetic and mechanical restoration from the frame up. The work was done by a detail oriented ski-lift inspector (a good quality for that job) and Japanese motorcycle enthusiast who restores several bikes per year. He documented all of his work in detail in a 4 page document (see below.) He used quality parts only.These included: Avon Roadrider tires with HD tubes and rim strips, professionally mounted and spin-balanced, Yuasa battery, 4 Sudco complete carb rebuild kits, Honda fork seals, Keystone engine gasket/seal kit, front and rear stainless steel spokes and nipples, NGK plugs and caps, MAC 4/1 exhaust with chrome muffler, Hotwingsglass bump seat and pad, Honda clutch cable, Honda caliper seal, EBC front brake pads, DID chain, Cycle-X fork gaiters, chrome headlight ears, horn, chrome drag bars and grips The bike currently shows 11,460 miles. It starts easily by electric or kicker, idles nicely, shifts well. Compression (warm) is 150, 145, 150 and 150psi. Charging system and all electrics are 100%. The frame, swingarm, triples, front hub, caliper body and all brackets were sanded and sprayed with 3 coats of matte black enamel. Every nut and bolt was either polished or replaced. Critical fasteners (axle clamp bolts, triple clamping bolts, shock bolts, swingarm axle nut, motor mounts, etc) were Loctite'd and torqued.All aluminum has been polished for a soft luster (not show polish.) This included the rear hub, brake panel, brake stay, fork lowers, engine covers, carb bodies, caliper mount.All chrome was polished: front and rear rims, headlight ring, front fender and stays, speedo/tacho bases, brake and shifter levers, kick-starter, throttle cable ends, and shocks.The engine cases were cleaned only, and not blasted/painted. There was a concern about the blasting media getting into the engine itself.The tank is very nice inside and out, with original paint and only a few minor imperfections. It has a bright luster. Side covers are solid with no cracks, but paint is original has some patina. The overall look of the bike is not over-restored or show quality. Instead it keeps its original character by using its original tank and sidecovers.During restoration the carburetor jetting was left near-stock and the decision was made not to use pod filters. He did raise (enrichen) the needles one notch to compensate for the aftermarket 4/1 exhaust. As a result, the engine pulls strongly from about 3K to redline (10K.) A motion pro manometer sync might make things even smoother.Swingarm bushings were perfect, and were not replaced. Cleaned and re-lubed only. By stripping off unnecessary weight, he dropped the weight of the bike by about 25 - 28lbs from stock. It is one of the quickest 350s we have ridden.There is a small amount (less than a teaspoon) of oil seepage between cyl #1 and #2. This is probably due to the o-rings between the cyl and head being slightly small, or the head gasket being slightly thick, as it is brand new. The fix is probably just a head re-torque, or using Hondabond on the o-rings or next size up o-rings. It does not drip on anything or smoke. Its the kind of thing that could be left as is, or attended to easily.The blinkers were removed with wires labeled and tucked away.The wiring for rear light and brake light (checks ok using front and rear brakes) has been labeled and tucked away. There are many rear light options (under the bump seat, vertical side-mount, horizontal side- mount) and each has an effect on the "look". Therefore no rear light has been installed, am leaving this for the next owner.Below is a copy of the 4 page word document supplied to me with the bike. It details every aspect of the work completed.
