I’m rebuilding the engine and it just looks terrible, the person I got it from used a wire brush to clean it and left lots of ugly colors. So I’m gonna repaint it with VHT Engine paint (Nu-Aluminum) to keep it looking original. My question is if I paint where the heat fins are do I need to sand...

Hi all, (first post on here so I hope I am doing this right) A little history first: I bought a 1970 Honda CB350 a year ago in pieces. Put it all together and found out it had a few engine issues and the transmission worked except I could never get it into second gear. It would always grind...

Hi all. After doing some research. I believe that I replaced a skinny camshaft with a fat camshaft for my 1971 cb350. (Purchased from eBay with correct PN 🤷‍♂️). My bike has been overheating. I assume due to the difference in lobe length/size this would cause the valves to open and close out of...

The stock mufflers on my CB350 have rusted out as most do. I’m looking for a new set that look similar to stock, I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations, preferably on the cheaper end but definitely want something quality.

So I got in a cl350 project recently. It cranked up well with the starter but wouldnt idle very good or run consistently so I took the carbs off went through those and clean them and replaced anything that needed replacing.

Getting ready to remove these cush bushings and was wondering if anyone has done this recently. Found a few methods online like drilling out or threading the center. All methods look like a pain so wanted to see if anyone knows or discovered any new ways.

My scrambler project hit a little snag in that I just noticed that my lower crankcase has damage in two spots. One spot is the formed lip where the kickstarter return spring hooks and the other is a tubular part of the casting where a bolt connects the upper crankcase and the lower crankcase...

Hello all, Just recently bought a 1970 cb350 twin that wasn't running. It was pretty easy to get running, and it idles fairly well, however, I'm noticing some problems/differences between how each cylinder is running. Here is a list of what I've done to it so far: Replaced the intake boots...

Big hello from Orlando! I’ve really enjoyed reading posts here and I’m hoping to dive in deeper now that I’m a member😁 I’ve been playing with Honda’s for the past 30 years. I’ve had several 305 dreams, a 1965 Superhawk, 1971 CB750, and a 1990 gold wing. The bike I’m currently enjoying is a 1969...

Hello everyone, I own a 1970 cb350 twin and the previous owner fit it with a 2-1 exhaust that unfortunately covers the oil drain plug. When I was disassembling the exhaust manifold/collar assembly to access the drain plug, I must have not been paying close enough attention (I know, rookie...

Hey guys I recently acquired my Father-in-laws 1970 cb350 from his shed. My plans are to fully restore it to how he bought it in 1972. I have a confusing issue with cams/bore/rocker arms that I haven't found an answer for so far. He told me a couple interesting facts about his bike that has me...

Hello everyone! Just joined up after reading some super helpful threads that helped me diagnose some issues I’ve been having so far. I’m currently working on a 73’ CB350G and have it running, just not quite smooth yet. Look forward to connecting with ya’ll!!

All mechanics and electrics either replaced or refurbished. Motor done INCLUDING CAM CHAIN SYSTEM, as you all know this is vital. Brakes, starter, clutch, forks, all done. 1800 pounds worth of receipts. Pipes are obviously not Honda, think they’re BSA pattern repros! Switchgear is budget...

Greetings to all, I'm new here so hopefully I'm posting this in the correct section.. I purchased a 1971 cb350 in pretty darn good condition about 6 months ago. It runs great, starts on first kick every time, and I have had no issues so far. I bought it from someone who seemed to take pretty...

Hello, this is my first post after going through tons of forums helping me fix up my cb350, but I have hit a barrier and cannot seem to find anything on it. So, I bought a '71 cb350 which ran but not well and would require me to fight with it. It would start after fighting it, but struggling...
