Got a Tank and some Forks too!

So I lucked out with a nice CB350 tank for about $30, yes it has a dent in it and its rusted on the inside but the outside has barely any rust or cancer spots so i thought i would give it a go. Its a lot bigger than my stock CL350 tank, I took some pictures to show the size difference and how it sits on the frame in comparison. Im still deciding weather or not to put some knee dents in it, but i plan to either cut the top of the tank and replace the gas cap with something a little more flush and also pull out the dent in the top or should i cut along the crease in the bottom of the tank to seperate into 2 halves then pound out the dent. Also Picked up some CB360 forks, i wanted to go with the cleaner cartridge type shocks and then i can add boots for looks if I want. Still researching how to pull these apart to replace the fork seals. Also going to go a bit stiffer on the fork oil weight.

getting the frame going..

just posting up some measuring pictures of the frame, also got the rear wheel rim free and making my pile of parts to goto powder coating

the Cold is stopping me....

So ive hit a snag, and the weather isn't help either


I rebuilt one of the carbs, but when tearing into the 2nd carb, i seem to have broken one of the needles and the vaccum piece is stuck and i mean stuck, i mean soaked in penetrating oil for like 1 month and still won't budge stuck, yes heat and smacking it included.

So im back onto finishing the frame and getting everything torn down to be taken to sand blasting and powdercoating.
Tearing down the wheels and a rear battery mount is all that's left
