Okay, it's not a chopper, but most who know me know that I'm always buying and selling, weather it was HD's or Yamaha's... Lately it's been cheap jap twins I want to hoard.

Last week I bought a 1974 Honda CL450 in really good shape. (pics in this forum under my trailer project)
Tonight I bought a 1968 Honda CB350. No rust at all, all original. Runs but the carbs and pipes are off it at the moment. Only problems are a golf ball size dent in the tank (which is clean inside!), seat cover has tape on it, and one side cover emblem missing. $200 off craigs list!

Pics this weekend, I will pick it up Sat. morning.

Looking forward to this little bike. I heard they're a gas, heck the red line is 10,500 on a little overhead cam!

Anywayz, anybody ever have one? Any feedback, parts...

I love the high pipe Hondas.They rode great. I know there still are a lot of them out there. You just have to be in the right place at the right time. Cool bikes. Ken

lol, well some weeks ya don't see anything and then...
I'm kinda addicted to craigs list.

Both of these I was fortnate to be one of the first callers and jumped on em.
The 68 I seen at 4:00 Tuesday, got ahold of him at 4:30. It was already dark, raining hard turning to snow and the guy was about 70mi. away.
I told him I didn't have time until Sat. and he said, "well I hope it's still here for ya."
Screw dat. Told him to hold it and I'll be there shortly.
