Tires

18" tires for the 175/200 and smaller bikes are pretty easy to find, but 19" for the 350 are harder to find -- especially the rear.

Kings Tire has inexpensive ribbed front KT-922 and block rear KT-918 in 19", very much like the original tires on the 350.  These are good for an original look.

Avon Tire makes a front/rear combo in 3.50 X 19" in their SpeedMaster MkII series.  The front is a rib design similar to original.

If you can find them in stock, the 3.25/3.50 X 19" Metzler Laser ME33 CompK (soft) front with a Metzler Perfect ME77 rear provides a great hi-performance combination.

An alternative petcock source is Harley Davidson up to about 1995.  Drag Specialties (makes aftermarket Harley parts) Part Number DS-390-218 (L-style petcock replacement for OEM part 62166-81.  This petcock is smaller than the BS stock part and is chromed so it makes a nice appearance. One difference is that it has one fuel outlet instead of two, so you have to use a "T" or "Y" connection to split the flow to two carbs.
