1969 Honda SL350



+

My SL350 is one of my favorite rides. I have ridden it just the way it was found, with the exception of new tires and a tune up. The seat was pretty worn out and it was a very uncomfortable,so I bought new foam rubber and a seat cover off of ebay. The cover was sewn about 1/2 inch off center and a bit twisted. I took it to Bob Snively of Snively Upholstery and he was able to make it fit. Bob  literally made a silk purse out of a sows ear and it is much more comfortable.
I am tempted to do a complete restoration, but it would be a shame to loose the character of this bike.
For now I will keep riding it the way it is.
