1969 Honda CB

CB3501028228

Clear

This is one of the cleanest and most unmolested CB350s I have seen. It was owned by one family since new in 1969 and was their father's pride and joy. Always stored inside. It has 5359 original miles. I believe everything on the bike is as it came from the factory, down to the tires. The only things that aren't original that I know of are the battery, one hose clamp on the air filter, and the rod that holds the air filters in place. The bike was last registered in Colorado in 1997. After I bought the bike, I decided to clean it up and get it running but not to restore or replace any original parts if possible. I cleaned the carbs and rebuilt them with new o-rings. I installed a new battery, checked the valves and timing and the bike fired right up. The bike starts easily, runs quietly, shifts smoothly, brakes and stops as it should. I haven't synched the carbs, and it could probably use a synch and a bit of carb tuning to be perfect. It also sounds like the starter drags sometimes after startup. Original paint in very good condition. Some very small scratches on tank but no dents or dings.Gas tank is clean insideChrome in excellent conditionOriginal exhaust is solidOriginal Bridgestone tires in good condition (I wouldn't run them on the highway)Compression test shows 130 PSI on both cylindersSome corrosion present on the frame, under the seat and around the battery box as is commonOriginal fasteners in great shape showing little or no signs of abuseOriginal toolkitOriginal seat with no rips or tears (however the red seat foam is deteriorating)Original gray cablesRare front fender reflector only found on late 1969 bikesAll electrics working as they shouldClear Colorado title You can choose to ride and enjoy this bike, take it to shows, or put it in your collection. Keep in mind that it is 46 years old. It does show signs of age, there is corrosion in places. Old bikes tend to look better in pictures, so please keep that in mind. I live near Kansas City and can help with delivery of the bike in a 200 mile radius, or can work with a shipping company if necessary. Feel free to contact me with any questions at 913-486-9405. I'm relisting this bike due to an overseas bidder who couldn't complete the purchase. Please be sure you are ready to buy the bike before bidding.
