CB350F
anyone ever owned the smallest inline 4 ever made??
i have a chance to pick one up for like 350 bucks and it could be a sweet little cafe project... carbs were professionally done and it has a new battery...
if anyone has experience with them let me know, i have been wanting a new project since my kz650 turned 810 cafe finished

Not in this country ever and not as a street bike! The CB350f was the precursor to the fabulous CB400f, which I've had a ton of experience with. I actually have been looking for a 350/f because I think it's more collectable than the 400.

one thing to look at before you buy it is if the top tripple is cracked by the fork tubes. i seam to recal those are made of unobtanium. There is a place Called Milwaukee Cycle salvage in Milwaukee Wi that may have one good top tripple left. The number there is 1-414-466-7707.

My first was a '77 400F and you never forget your first
I recall the headgasket leaked oil and for some reason the Carbs would loose their synch but it was so damnable sweet at 10 grand.
Passenger pegs on the swing arm!
$350?!? Jump on that!

sweet guys thanks for the responses! i really like the bike, he has an extra tank that goes with it and i could really have some fun modding it into the cafe tank
it needs, exhaust fixed or replaced ( there is a SWEET sideswepped exhaust for these and i cant find them )
carbs gone through
tires
re covered seat or cafe set up
front brakes re done
a through wash
chain and sprockets i would say
and cosmetic help....
the original tank comes with, and it has both side covers, i really wanna cafe the crap out of it and just have a blast riding this thing around town, apparently then can do 90 mph too... that seems unsafe
