Wow! I thought I was the only one in the world that has a hard time eating tomatoes. I don't even like them cooked in a stew. Everyone always looked at me funny when they learned this. But catchup, spaghetti sauce, pizza sauce, etc. is just yummy.
Wow! I did buy automobiles pretty much right away. But I also loved motorcycles too. And right after that moped disaster, I bought a Honda CB350F. That was the 4 cylinder version of the 350. I absolutely loved that one. Once I left Hawaii I didn't want to pay to ship it back to the mainland. So I sold it for 300 bucks. I heard about 10 years ago that they were so rare, they are worth 50k today. Damn.I can relate to that guy, I have to give him credit, he had a dream and even though it didn't pan out like he wanted he stuck with it until it came true, that's passion.
In my early days after leaving the nest I wanted a motorcycle in the worst way, being young, unskilled and making minimum wage I had to scrounged used parts and saved every nickle I could. I got a cheap Honda 350, found used 12 over front forks to make it a chopper, used king/queen seat, used drag pipes, painted it myself and pieced it all together. I could barely afford the insurance to keep it on the road, I paid by the month and some months didn't think I'd have enough to pay the insurance bill but somehow did. There wasn't any money left over for a car so the bike was the only transportation I had, I drove it in the rain, thunderstorms and hail but I had my dream, for one summer.... I spent more time working on it to keep it running then I did riding it but I was happy.

Honda CB350F - Wikipedia
Back in the mainland I couldn't find a 350 four cylinder, so I bought a 350 twin like yours. Looks a lot like yours too, but I never got around to chop mine. Now that one I still have in my barn and that one isn't worth 50k like my first one. But I'd probably get like 50 bucks for that second one today.
And in my garage I still have a 1994 Honda VT1100C. Has the Harley-Davidson look and they come chopped. The goofy thing is they are only 4 speed and the engine is water cooled.

On the Motorcycle front, for you Honda guys ........ They actually developed an engine in the 70's and tested it at ~25K RPM. Above that, it was the sparkplug that couldn't keep up. Oval cylinders, i think it was raced briefly as the Honda NR. 8 valves per cylinder.
I had a '85 Yamaha Maxim X. 750CCs with 5 valves per cylinder. That was a Genesis engine. (I recall it was 3 valves on the intake for a smoother flow or something). Inline 4, liquid cooled, chopper style. You Americans had the 700CC version due to some duty implications for > 700CC. Only made 2 years tops.

Yes, that tariff was lifted in '85, so we could start buying larger than 700cc foreign engine bikes. Harley-Davidson wasn't too happy about that I am sure.
You know, I never felt safe on a motorcycle You have to share the road with to many unknowns
In 91, an opportunity came up to by the coolest H-D you could imagine!
I really couldn't refuse, I only drove it a hand full of times & sold it a year later.
Have to admit, I did make a profit selling it

Oh my bad guys I miss typed that, the cold ohms would be reading for example .42Ω while it should be .45Ω
I did the same thing in college, I had to initially sell my civic that I had put all my penny's into the, which I had turbo kitted & engine swapped for running 1/4 miles, but I saved up all I could for a crotch rocket to drive around campus, it was a Yamaha r6 and way too small for me though, fun times but I literally almost killed myself on that thing several times.I can relate to that guy, I have to give him credit, he had a dream and even though it didn't pan out like he wanted he stuck with it until it came true, that's passion.

(more accurately I was almost killed by other drivers several times)
I'll always remember the feeling of being hit by gobs of rain & cursing the fact that my only mode of transportation doesn't have a roof, lol... I don't recommend it.
Should be .45 ohms according to another dna mod? A previous identical build? Steamengine? An ohms checker? A dmm? Of all the above I would lean towards trusting the mod if it's been calibrated with a shorting adaptor.
Anyone know of a template I can download and print for the 75C's and the 200C's? Like the one that was made for the 200 some time ago.
I appreciate the link, I've tried that one and I can not for the life of me get it to print to scale and I tried every setting with both my new Brother laser printer and my ink jet printer. Printing to 300 DPI does nothing to make it print to scale, wish I could get it to work, it's the only template I've been able to find.
Here's another I have, but no markings or instructions.
About $7 each, Rocky Patel "The Edge" torpedo style.lol! you sure smoked some expensive cigars!
And really, as far as good cigars go, they werent that expensive.
