Subject: CB350K2 On The Highway

Hello everyone, forgive me if this is the wrong place to post this question.

I just put my '70 CB350 on the road. I've had it for a few years, picked it up for free from a woman who's husband had rode it. The last time it was on the road was around '82. It seems to be in pretty good mechanical shape. I took the short ride to the shop for tires on it and it felt pretty good.

Here's my question. For a long trip, what's a safe speed to maintain on the highway for it? It's about a 3 hr ride up to Americade, and I've been told that for a long ride one should keep the speed down because of the stress on the top end of the 2cyl. I'm sort of debating whether to take it for such a long ride right away.

Any constructive insight/comments are greatly appreciated, thanks!
