close to 3 years on the hunt for this. Had room on the credit card, and the seller sent me nice interior pics, these are clean solid original, no corrosion damage.

It comes to those who wait.

And wait and wait and wait and wait and wait...

That is the joy of old bikes. Will I ever find that elusive bit?

Well done!

Good news on your carb acquisition for the Cobra, they sound like a decent purchase.
You're not going to love the way they suck gas out of the tank though.

And some guy in Helsinki was interested in those carbs, too !!!

Cobras turn up in the strangest places......

Nirvana ?? Isn't that a wide spot on the road up near the CA/NV state line somewhere ??

Brian Cutler in Australia had repro knee pads made for the Cobra tanks if you are looking for a set.

This followed the tank home as well

trust me the guy in helsinki was not gonna win this auction. the card had room and the green light was on.
holy cow i just figured it out i have $530 in this bike and i dont have a seat! I need one fast, bike shows coming up. gonna strip it to paint asap. maybe i will toss on a titan seat.

Getting close to repaint time. That 350 Honda seat fits like it was made for the bike, the frame pads even work. I am going to recover it with a no name cover and make a bracket to mount it. Until i can find the real thing, this seat works great.
