I saw an old cb350 the other day on my local CL, only wanted $550 for it. Allegedly "only thing wrong with it is the kick start", which probably means lots of motor work. I wanted it badly, but the wife veto'd it by the time I got to "I found a bike...."

I wanted to do almost just what the OP is doing with this one. Looks great. I was hoping to replicate the bike from "The girl with the dragon tattoo" movie.

OP, looks great! Can't wait to see it finished.

 

there is easily over 5000 worth of mods on that bike, and yes, it is ungodly beautiful.

edit: i believe it's a cb550, or possibly a sohc 750 yes

word of advice:
use legit automotive clearcoat from a dealership/body shop
or gas will rape you.

 

Looks great man, you're buddy should be stoked with how well it turned out.
