350 Four Superhawk?

Post by Spargett » Sat Jul 31, 2010 1:54 am

Here's an interesting mod up on eBay.

Taken from the listing:

"Now this is a bike for the Honda Lover who demands to have something just a little different. This bike looks stock, and people have asked/commented, "I didn't know Honda made a 4 cylinder in the 60's?" This bike was built by a retired Ford engineer who did some pretty creative things to put this 350/4 into the bike without it looking awkward. Push the electric start and the 350/4 purrs into the new exhaust. Lights all work, and the kick start is very creative. The rear brake lever pivots out of the way, as does the footpeg and you can then kick the bike if needed. Cosmetics were done after the initial conversion, to the factory color scheme."

That project should have included a disk brake

I have a friend with a similar bike except its the 400/4. Bought it at Mid-Ohio a few years back.

It's really nice but in really bad need of a custom exhaust system that looks a little more 60's.

A 4 into two would look really nice with a couple of Dunstalls or genuine CB77 mufflers.

Absolutely spot on about the pipes IMHO. And the motor should have been higher in the frame. It would have looked better as well as having a better chain run.

yeah, those pipes seem to dip pretty low to the ground just under the block.
creative and innovative but I'll stick with stock :p
