Honda CB description

This rare, one of a kind, CB350G won 
The Best in Show Trophy at the AMA/VJMC Mid-Ohio Vintage Motorcycle Show last week. 
I purchased this CB350 "Flying Dragon" design tank and sidecovers new in the box from a collector in Japan. The Psychedlic paint design was produced by the Honda Factory in Japan as a add on accessory for the USA market to help move slow moving bike inventory in 1972 and 1973 only. Before I discovered this particular set it was thought that the "Dragon" sets were only made for the Honda Scrambler CL350 and CL450 models. After extensive research I have found they also made sets for the CB350G and the SL350 models in very very limited numbers.  All the articles that have been written about the Flying Dragon sets state that they were made for the 1972 and 1973 Honda Scramblers only (models CL350 & CL450) Yet here is my CB350 sporting the Dragon tank and sidecovers. Check out the attached Motorcycle Classic article stating the Flying Dragons were only made for the CL350 and CL450. You may find Flying Dragon sets for the Scramblers occasionally on Ebay or Craigslist, as a matter of fact I am offering a NOS set for a Cl350 in a seperate listing. But I doubt you will find a set for a CB350 used or NOS anywhere..... As a matter of fact I believe my CB350 set is the only one in existence..... making it beyond rare.
After purchasing the tank and sidecovers I went on an search to find a 1973 Honda CB350G (The only CB350 model with the front disc brake, passenger grab rail and chrome fork ears) that is worthy of displaying the Dragon set. I found this low mileage, one owner bike and went to town making it look and run like a new bike. After a complete tuneup including ultrasonic cleaning the carbs, oil change and new fuel lines, installing a Pamco electronic ignition, new period correct dunlop tires and tubes, new battery, and a complete front disc brake overhaul it was done and ready to ride and show. There are no visible flaws on this bike. No dents, dings, rust or scratches anywhere. the inside of the tank is flawless and looks new.  
the seat is original and has no rips, tears or flaws. The frame paint is original with no flaws. The chrome on the bike is original and is rust & dent free. It's the nicest all original un-restored 43 year old bike you will find anywhere and it starts and runs like it did when it was new.

The original factory box & packing, owners manual, and tool kit are all included with the bike.

2,327 actual miles
Clear Missouri title in my name. 



I have described my bike, in my personal opinion, both honestly and accurately.  This show winning bike is in my and the AMA Mid-Ohio VJMC show judges opinion, one of the nicest all original unrestored Vintage Japanese bikes in existence. It is however a 44 years old unrestored bike and may show some signs of age and wear and tear so please check out the photos closely, ask questions and or make an appointment to see the bike in person before bidding.  I'm located in Mid-Missouri 20 miles east of Columbia Missouri 5 miles north of I-70 between Kansas City and St Louis.

Hero Honda Rebranded as Hero MotoCorp

Tue, 09 Aug 2011

Formerly known as Hero Honda, the joint venture claims a share of nearly half of India’s two-wheeled vehicle market. Honda decided in late 2010 to end its 27-year partnership with India’s Hero Motors, buying out its 26% share for $855 million, about half the market price at the time.
