Just been out for a ride on my 1973 Honda CB350K4 and have to admit I enjoyed it so much I didn't want it to end. Since buying it I always found the clutch very heavy so ordered a Venhill Cables in Dorking featherlight one. It was only when I got the original one off I realised why, the inner had seized in the outer and can't believe how I ever operated it. Must have stronger fingers than I thought. The new cable has transformed it and it's now a lovely bike to ride. I will be showing it in the winter as it really is a lovely bike. Next jobs will be to have stainless spokes fitted and the invest in a new pair of silencers as it still has the originals and the chrome is showing signs of age. Lucky David Silver spares has had some made so are available. The ones on it aren't too bad but if I show it maybe I need to change them. The bike is an American import so has spent it early life in a nice climate. Think I may keep the high bars as they are so comfortable and that's what I need these days. The clip on days are well behind me now.
