    Not only do "turbo" and "bobber" not go together, that turbo is the wrong size for the bike.

    It is rather critical to match the turbo to the engine size, and I don't know of too many Saabs that have a 650cc engine.

            Yeah, a four into two with a pair of Dunstalls would set it off just about right for me.

              I could be mistaken, but when I was looking into getting a Seca Turbo years ago, and was worried about getting a bike with a bad turbo. I remember hearing or reading that the Saab or a Renault turbo was practically a direct replacement. Don't quote me on that as fact though.

                I'd say a lot of that 15K was in labor. Making that tank was probably a big chunk of it.

                  Craigslist in Vancouver sure dried up fast this year...the frustration is showing.

                  Solid Gold CB350 - $72000 (Heaven)



                  Golden CB350

                  I've finally decided to sell my beloved cafe racer (or is it a brat-style flat tracker - I can never remember the differences). The picture speaks for itself. A true collector that I paid too much for 3 years ago because they saw me coming. I rode it for 2 weeks but then got distracted by vintage camping gear and flat front vans. It ran well when parked but has been stored incorrectly and now won't start. Just needs a new battery and carbs cleaned (I don't actually know what that means but everyone says it in their ad). My price is firm. It qualifies for collector plates although I've removed most of the stock parts and replaced them with ill-fitting cheap crap I bought on eBay. Its an easy fix (but I am too busy designing selvedge denim wet-suits for gender fluid vegan surfers so have to pass this gem onto a new owner). My price is firm. I don't need to sell just testing the market, but I do need the money (I stored my van over the winter and now it won't start). Did I say it doesn't run but its an easy fix? My price is firm. Only serious buyers please. I will only respond to those that include a phone number and a witty reference to a pop culture icon from the '80s. Will trade for food truck or vintage graphic t-shirts. Price includes one of every model of Biltwell helmet ever made and one Bell Bullitt (size small).

                    I guess he means THIS:
                    1973 Honda CB350 - $3000 (Vancouver)

                    image 1 of 5




                    Honda CB350

                    fuel: gas
                    transmission: manual


                    I have a 1973 C350 that was running strong last season. It has been winterized with stabilizer in the tank and sitting covered in a garage for 6 months. It currently wont start and you will need to tow it away. The battery is brand new from last season. It has lots of life left and just needs some TLC.

                    I had it inspected last year at Rising Sun and the major thing that needs to be fixed are the carbs which I have a rebuild kit for both carbs.

                    I bought some brand new parts but don't have the time to replace them:
                    Brake cables, clutch cable, throttle cable, spark plugs, resister caps, chain, rectifier for charging system - They don't all need to be done now but should be down the line.

                    Sad to let it go since its such a beautiful bike and it's definitely a head turner.

                    $3000 firm

                      One would think that for $3000, at least a front fender would be included. I had five of those and no way is it worth 3 grand.

                                I think this is an ad for Outcall service since Craigslist shut down the Personals area.
