Honda CL350 Type 1

Well I may not have mentioned this before, but quite a bit of stuff has been happening in my absence. On my YouTube channel (Go check it out at youtube.com/iexploderacoons) I have started a new project that I do a video a day for an entire year! Crazy and what's even better is that it is all relating to motorcycles cars, etc. So anyways check that out if you want, it would really help! Also I am getting a new starter block off since I removed mine, as well as oil, engine paint, and a stator gasket. All I need for it to run is just simpily carbs. So if anyone knows where to get some fairly cheap Mikuni VM30's let me know!

Cafe build details.

Okay it is time to fill you in on what I have done on the bike,
-Rebuilt the engine
-replaced the valves (one had a damaged seat)
-Re did the wiring
-Rebuilt the forks
-Replaced Carbs
-Repainted frame, tank/headlight bucket, and fork lowers
-Hand hammered knee indents on the tank
-Rebuilt the petcock
-Added CB350 headers
-polished the rims
-Replaced stem bearings with tapered ones
Here are some pictures...

1969 Honda CL350 Type 1

I never fully explained what I did on the bike from where she started to where she is now.

Here you see a classic donor bike, rusty, abused, and fearing for it's future. I managed to save the bike from probably ending up in a scrap yard for the whopping cost of $80.00 with about 30 miles transportation to my home. I was explained that Holly (what I named my bike) didn't have spark, had low compression, and was missing the exhaust, and a usable seat pan. I decided to take on the challenge because I was going to build a cafe racer anyways and most of the stock parts where gong to be replaced with new and performace enhancing parts. Anyways here is how she sits today almost a year after I bought her. And don't worry I will fill you in on the details of what I did in another post.
