I've owned this 1971 CB350 for over a decade. It's 100% original at this point with around 5,000 miles. It even has the original tires. Scary.

A few years ago, I ordered new aftermarket OEM reproduction tailpipes from a place in England along with new old stock OEM cables and a few bits and pieces of rubber--grips, pegs, etc. I'm normally a pretty hands-on person with this stuff so I had always planned to go through it bit by bit and really enjoy the process. Unfortunately, life continues to get in the way and it sits in my hangar under a cover year after year.

So my question/request: I'm wondering if there's someone on the board who is both qualified and willing to take on the project of installing the new cables, rubber bits, new tires, new tailpipes, etc. along with cleaning up the carb and generally getting it ready to ride for this spring. I'm fairly particular about things so I'd want someone who appreciates that while I realize this will never be a high-dollar item, it's important to me and I want things done right.

I've got an enclosed trailer so I can deliver it to pretty much anywhere for the right mechanic.

Thanks in advance,

Rod

TFOGGER is great, not to take away from him , but ^John(IIRC)^ who is literally down the road from you would be another choice. He use to do what bmw work i couldn't.

BTW: that's one clean looking CB.

Dennis @ SuperTech in Windsor, CO. He is an old racer/mechanic. I have brought him stuff from the 70's to my late 2000 1000cc sport bikes and he has always treated me well. The guy know his stuff and used to build race bikes for Eric Buell. PM me if you would like his phone number.

Thanks for the suggestions, guys. I'll probably give Rocky Mountain Motorsports a call and see what they say. They're not very far from my house so it would be very convenient.

I stopped by Colorado Motor Sports this afternoon. I'm taking my CB350 in on Saturday. I'm pretty excited at the prospect of having it running by this Spring. Should be pretty cool to putter around the neighborhood. Thanks to everyone for the recommendation. They seemed like real nice folks.

Now: Somebody needs to buy a new Gun Trust or two or three so I can pay for all this! [harley]

BTW, I mentioned Kazoo's real name and the guy (John) remembered him… including all the details of Mr. Kazoo's distinguishing characteristics and his bike. I have no idea what Mr. Kazoo rides so I couldn't agree or disagree on that part.

FWIW John is firearm friendly. Maybe I'll stop in and say hello.
