Dad has given up riding and it's time for his last bike to go. A very presentable example of the Honda 350 Four. While it is not an immaculate show bike, it always draws admiring comments. Much recent work ensures this bike does not need extensive recommissioning and is truly ready to ride. Starts right up and runs out well. My Father has taken this bike on extended rides with no issues. I will do my best to describe the bike completely, good and bad. I am happy to answer any questions or take additional pictures as needed. I will attempt to make the bike available for in person inspections. Some of the highlights include: >Carb service and tune-up by the wizards at Retrospeed in Belgium, WI (2010). >Rebuilt brake caliper with stainless steel piston (2010). >New tires (Duro) and tubes (2010). >New battery in 2012. >New 4 into 1 aftermarket exhaust system (2010). As mentioned, the bike is very presentable. However there is some sun fading on the top of the tank and both side covers. Also fading to the gauges and controls as is typical for Hondas of this vintage. An up close look to the paint on the tank reveals micro cracking. The paint is smooth to the touch and intact. Chrome is good and chrome on wheels is good. Small dent on lower portion of rear fender. Small dent (barely visible) on lower left side of tank. Seat is good. No tears and vinyl is pliable. I believe the front turn signals are aftermarket replacements. As expected for a bike this age, there are various small scratches, nicks, and defects present. Originally sold new by Mac's Marine in Chippewa Falls, WI. The old exhaust system that was removed prior to installing the current system is included. There are 4 head pipes and a pair of 2 into 1 mufflers. My guess is the head pipes are probably original, but I am not an expert and don't know how to verify. I'm thinking the mufflers are aftermarket replacement. Bike is also for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early. Reasonable reserve set. Deposit required within 48 hours of auction end. Balance can be paid at time of pickup.
