I am doing a build... it is a honda 350... not most peoples cup of tea but it is a twin (rare in the honda CB world) I am going to turn it into a reliable vintage style cruiser so that my dad can keep it at his summer home in FL... that way when i visit i have some transportation! here are the plans... if anyone has experiance with these i would love any advice! i have done several ground up builds on CB750's but never a 350 or a twin! advice is free and always ALWAYS welcome... i just love old bikes... here is the plan! (sorry if you recognise the "finishe product pic" i saw it and fell in love... i will be shooting my tins in HD blue denim with agloss white racing stripe down the center...
- not to mention all the work have left to do on my bob... going to be a busy winter!

Joe, are you doing a cafe racer or a bobber. I have a friend in the area building cafe racers, you should talk to him.

Im converting my 2000 FXDS to Andrews gear driven cams. Just cant decide whether to use the 26G or the 37G. Also thinking about the Crane HI4-TC ignition upgrade. Swaping out my scratched stock windshield with replacement "glass" from Memphin Shades.
