Well here is my 350 four, i have always liked them and now have this 44 year old, 5032 miles on clock, not perfect grab rail missing, small burn in the back of the seat, pissing petrol from overflows as expected and top of tank faded, apart from that and after market replica pipes it's fine and dandy, it will also stay as is it has a lovely patina.

Warren it came from Brighton, would not run properly, so carbs off no varnish in them but the o rings on the jets all cracked and dried out, so new kits from the states all in still way cheaper than David Silver spares, so all changed yesterday float levels and bench synced, this morning carbs back on with new manifolds and air box rubbers and away she went a bit noisy and chuggy at first, soon settled down. next jobs front end fork seals or stanchions and brake rebuild.

Started the wee beastie up today all work done had to replace the caliper and master cylinder as well as strip the clutch as the original re-commissioner had it out and put back together wrong so clutch would not disengage, just an MOT to get now.

The red on has pretty shit paint for such strong money - the green 'un looks much nicer. I did some work on a 400/4 a couple of weeks ago - the front brakes aren't up to much :shock:

That red should be metallic does not look like it though, those 2 have been on there a long time, sadly they want too much for them, you are right about the brake but they are not overly powerful bikes, i twin disced my old 500k3 it made it a lot better but the 350 can't be done without changing the front end.
