Hello from England

I have a 1971 CB350K3 originally from the States (well, I guess originally from Japan, so imported to the UK from the States).

I'm on a slow rebuild / cafe conversion.

Frame suspension etc are pretty much there now, and I'm just putting the engine back together post re-bore. Here is a picture of progress:



I have a couple of questions around o rings etc - I'll post these. Hoping you can give me some guidance which will be much appreciated.

I know I need to tidy up my garage. Space is limited.

Looks great, off to a good start. I understand the limited room, lived over there for 6 years and the garage barely had room for anything.

I'm by no means a café fan, but very nice finish work - and is that seat base really made of wood? The finish on it looks really nice.

Thanks both.

Tom - Yes, american black walnut. All hand made (by me). In fact everything diy except re-chroming of the fork tubes and the re-bore. Somethings have taken more than one attempt though - you learn stuff as you go.

I will put a pad on the seat.
