Scrambler 350

I've been working away from home and hadn't had a chance to check out my 350 after installing a new piston. Well, after replacing the oil pump gears (broken shaft), rockers, cam and finally piston I had a chance to start it up. I'm happy to report that the smoke coming from the exhaust is now gone and I suspect that I won't be fouling plugs anymore. This bike was a basket case and relegated to the junk pile behind my friends gas station. I replaced the fork tubes (originals bent), rims (now has Sun rims with Buchanan spokes), new shocks, tires, new swingarm bushes (courtesy of Syds), new seat cover, frame powder coated, gas tank fixed, sealed and painted (by me). The electrics may still need to be tweaked but after much discussion here with Bob, it seems to be working. Probably spent too much money on the resurrection but once started, there was no turning back. The bike was in worse shape than I thought but I now have a runner.

The fenders came from a Harley Davidson Sprint, aka Aeramacchi. I made a couple of aluminum adapters to mount them to the stock sliders. The tubes came from a source in Europe somewhere. I have to go through my paperwork to find exactly. I got them a while ago. The pipe is not as loud as it looks. A friend gave me a silencer that mounts inside. Yeah, I like the looks. I wanted it to look like a Roadster without a lot of color. I like the metallic look.
