1973 Honda Cb350 Cafe Racer on 2040-motos

Honda CB description

1973 Honda CB350 Cafe Racer. I'm selling it for $3,400 OBO. That's a small price to pay to become instantly awesome.

Ready to start my next build. My manliness demands it. Therefore I must part with this labor of love. But unlike my ex-wife I will actually miss this once it's gone. Features of this sweet ride:

• Regularly serviced and maintained since I bought it a couple years ago. Used Grandpa's Shop (now closed) and Hammet's Garage on Olsen in Tucson. Full tune up less than 50 miles ago including plug replacement, oil change, chain replacement (now in demon red!), and carb adjustment.
• Started with a full stock bike in perfect shape. No bard find or rusty junker here.
• Tank is from a 1969-69 CB350. Professionally cleaned and re-sealed by Precision Engineering here in Tucson. Knee pad rubber in great shape for its age; still supple. I coated them in Plasti-Dip to stop any sun damage. In case you don't know, plasti-dip peels off without damage. But you should know this already since you're into customization or why else would you be here? Answer: you wouldn't.
• Battery hidden under the seat. Still a full sized battery so no worries about the electrical draining it. New rectifier too.
• Keyster KH1200 carb rebuild kits used on the carbs. Yep, the good ones, no skimping on those. Jetted properly. Pod style air filters installed.
• European low wattage small style headlight used.
• Clip-on handlebars used with wiring hidden in them.
• Forks rebuilt a little over a year ago. Fork boots installed. Forks lowered slightly at the tree only, thus easily reversible.
• BMW Hella style bar end blinkers. Extra bulbs are included - these bulbs generally require overseas ordering so this will save you hella time. Get it? I used hella twice. And if you don't think that's funny well then that's just sad.
• Owned by childless, pet-less adult. No peelouts or racing done on this, just boring old man riding.
• Custom curved license plate bracket with custom led plate lights. Looks awesome at night, or during an eclipse, or during any form of sky-darkening apocalypse.
• Custom made exhaust heat shields.
• Custom made rear mud guard and shaved front mudguard.
• Single mini white face speedometer with led headlight, neutral and blinker indicators. Speedometer is geared correctly for the bike, using the 2240:60 ratio.
• New black rear shocks.
• Wheels coated in plastidip for that nightrider feel. By that I mean the feeling you get when you pretend to be David Hasslehoff. Not the german singing version but the old cool one from the tee-vees. The plastidip is, again, easily removable if you hate the 'Hoff.
• All mechanical and electronics function, including kick and electric start, except for the listed items below.

Defects of this bike:

• High beam not connected.
• The fork boots, which after install I found out are cheap and tear easily but have been mended with liquid rubber so function fine. But you may want to replace them.
• Mileage is not correct. True mileage is unknown.
• This is a 40 year old bike with a 40 year old engine. While it runs perfectly do not expect it to be a new bike and do expect 40 year old Honda CB style engine problems.

Other items included with this bike:

• Electronic versions of two CB350 professional shop manuals on a CD.
• Sweet rocket shaped tire stem ends.
• A box of various parts and items including a gasket kit, an alternator, and a Clymer's or Chilton's manual (I forget which). All the above will be mailed to you at no extra cost.
