I was just given a 1972 Honda 350 cb! It is in running condition, but it needs an ignition switch. Should be fun in the summer.

Nice! The old smaller displacement Hondas are good, cheap fun. IIRC, the CB350's are somewhat rare, only having been made for a coupla years.

As to ignition switches, the standard trick that CB750 owners use is the Walmart el-cheapo 4-position switch. If you wire it right, you not only replace your ignition, but do away with the need for a seperate starter button (if your bike isn't kick only).

Nonetheless, good choice!
