Tach Plug
Since I will only be running a single, center mounted speedo I needed to figure out a way to plug the tach cable mount in the engine. Using an old tach cable I removed the guts from the housing and filled the end with jb weld to prevent oil from leaking out.

Intake
The rubber on the original intake boots were hard as a rock compared to these new ones. These boots will ensure that there are no intake vacuum leaks.

Fork Cover
I took a trip to my local sign shop and bought some gloss black vinyl to cover the upper forks where the headlight mounts. The vinyl is designed for use outdoors and has a 10 year warranty! This is some tough material and really cleans up the look of the forks.
Breath of Fresh Air
Nothing makes the Honda 350 run better than OEM air filters. Smooth, clean airflow and not having to worry about re-jetting should be well worth the investment.

Roller
The bike has finally progressed to something that actually resembles a motorcycle. I really like the look and functionality of the center stand and I will not be installing the side stand. I hope to fire up the bike for the first time within a week.
Rear Shock Bushings
Due to the powder coating process all rubber had to be removed before baking so new rear shock swingarm bushing were installed.

Carb Dip
These carbs were some of the cleanest I've seen but I still put them through the wash cycle. I'll be replacing all the o-rings on the jets but most internal parts are good to reuse as long as there are no signs of abuse from the P.O. However, I've learned from experience that the needle/seat should always be replaced to ensure proper fuel level and flow.
