'72 CB350 - Some Assembly Required

[.RJ]

Do that but, with modern forks. More hawt.

I do want to do this.  Its big chunk of coin all in for all the parts....

And, need to get a rear wheel laced to a new rim to match, and better rear shocks in addition to the front end parts.  Then there's the frame painting, engine rebuilding, exhaust pipes, tank painting... its not going to be cheap project.  I'm ok with this, but I do need a better space to work.

I've thought about this quite a bit, and here's where I'm headed - 

• Ditch the side covers and factory battery box/wiring behind the covers, replace with a tray under the seat to hold everything
  
• I've been trading some emails with sparck moto about building a wiring harness to match and supply me everything that's needed, including replacing the stock handlebar switches 
  
• Replace the (nasty, cracked) headlight bucket with a new bucket, headlight & LED bulb and smaller turn signals.
  
• Rebuild the front forks with new fork tubes - they are rusty AF, it looks awful.
  
• Figure out why the front brake blows so hard... the rear isnt so bad.
  
• Install the new clutch plates I have sitting here
  
• Convert the choke levers to cable choke
  

This should get the bike looking MUCH nicer, and riding better, until I've got my own garage and I can do a full tear down and rebuild.
