project

Hey everyone, I'm new here, and new to full size bikes in general. Having rebuilt a number of 2 stroke mopeds years ago I have a level of comfort going into my first project bike. I just purchased my first bike, a 1979 CM400T (model variant to be confirmed once I get possession in a couple of...

Hi all, First post here and hopefully the first of many. Just sold my '66 Mustang and looking to buy my first motorcycle. Really excited about the Honda CL350 Scramblers. Just a nice simple classic looking bike! I'm looking for a project and something to tool around town and explore the...

Hello everybody, So here I am again, finally making a project log as recommended by many. After starting my endeavor I now realize as a newbie I have more questions about this bike than I do dollars to build it :D. After my previous inquiry about painting the frame, I was so impressed and...

Hi All! I just joined the forum as I recently picked up a working amazingly near-stock 1984 cb450sc with newly timed carbs, new chain+sprockets, tires, etc at 33KM. I know exactly what I want to do with it, but given that this model wasn't released in the US (i'm in Canada), there is limited...

Greetings, Folks. New to the twin forum... not so new to vintage Hondas. My first Honda was a 1974 CB200 pulled out of a barn in Kansas for $200 and turned out to be a great bike. I took this bike down to the bare frame and throughly cleaned, polished and fixed every issue. All the work was...

Hi guys, I'm new to this community and i thought id share my build/ project with you all. This is my first project and I'm not very experienced but i think i can learn. On June 5th i bought a 1982 CB450 Nighthawk that was in Non running condition sitting outside for months. the previous owner...

Hello to everyone at Honda Twins! I've been a big fan of this forum for a while now and would like to introduce myself. I've been riding motorcycles for a few years. My first bike was a 1971 Honda CB450 and my current daily driver is a 2007 Triumph Bonneville. When I first started riding I...

Hey everyone, Yesterday I posted on the member intro page (my first post). I recently acquired what I thought to be a '70 CL350, but what turned out to be a '70 CB350 with some CL parts, including the exhaust, front wheel, and a few others. I'm not really bothered, apart from the fact that the...

Hey everyone, This is my first post here on the forum. I just recently acquired a 1970 (I think) CL350 for pretty cheap, and I'm planning on doing a rebuild. I've had a few motorcycles in my life, but I've never attempted any kind of restoration or any kind of heavy rebuilding or anything like...

I found the forum at the beginning of June and began diving into the brains of so many of you who know so much about every detail of your bikes. I couldn't wait to get a bike again after several years without. Thank you to everyone who had knowledge and everyone who has gained knowledge through...

Here is my first find near my area. A 1978 Honda Hawk with a seized motor. I am going to work on the motor to try and get the pistons free due to seizing and then get everything else properly replaced and cleaned to get it running again. Once I do that I plan on modifying it into a cafe racer...

Hi! Making my first ever forum post in history! I bought a Honda CB350 k2 which was a US import and in a complete state. My plans are to build it into a Cafe Racer, actually inspired to do so by DarkSidePhoto. Attached is a photo of my project and the pure excitement of picking her up! Look...

Hey guys, How's it going? My name is Jason and I am about to take possession of a 1984 Nighthawk CB450SC (again!). I had a bike of the exact same year, body type, color... until May this year, just two months ago. I had it all fixed up and sold it since I'm not sure if I'll be staying in the...

Up for sale is my 1975 CL360. I bought this bike roughly 5 years ago to learn to ride and put a few hundred miles on it before buying a 'new,' reliable bike. The bike has a carburetor issue I can’t quite figure out and is simply too far down on my priority list, so I’ve decided to sell. I’m...

Hello all! I own a (surprise) 1969 Honda CB350 Twin. I was wondering if anyone had parts for sale. It needs a new everything, and nobody around where I live sells vintage parts. Attached below is a picture of the bike when I got her. A real beauty, eh? Anyways, as you can see it's missing a lot...

Hey all - I have a '75 CL360 I tore down and was going to rebuild or turn into a bobber, but then I found a super-clean '75 CL360 for too cheap, and I bought it. Long story short, I've lost momentum on the project. I'm realizing I don't have time to get it done in any reasonable length of...

I recently bought a 1971 cl350 that has been completely dissassembled. All the parts have been labeled fairly well, I have pretty good mechanical skills, and I have a clymer manual. But, where do I start when assembling the bottom end? Crankshaft? Transmission? Any tips would be appreciated
