    Hey all!! Finally getting around to posting some pics of my project. In my intro I said that I purchased a random rust bucket from FB Marketplace just before Halloween. Here is what it looked like when I got it. After some quick research I found out it was a CL175 from 1972. Most everything...

    Hello y'all! I'm currently located in CT (us) and picked up a Honda 1975 200cb. Current status is that she doesn't run yet (turns over but won't idle) and current thinking is that the piston rings need done (motor has oil blowby). This is my first motorcycle and first time working on a "real"...

    Hi all! recently put my engine back together after changing headgasket and the lower engine gasket. I also removed carbon from my pistons and grinded the valves, and changed the valve stem gaskets. so fast forward, putting the engine together goes nice, connect some fuel and on the second try...

    Hi I have bought a complete new exhaust system for my cb400n, and the only thing missing are the exhaust brackets, that connect to the mufflers. If anyone has the measurments for this it would be greatly appriciated, as ordering these from ebay is quite expensive when its possible to make them...

    I have rebuilt this 73 CB450 after a previous owner let it sit and one piston became rusted in place. Following the guidance of the clymer manual, adjusted the valves to spec, rebuilt the carbs, torqued everything down to spec, and tried to get it to start. The electric starter still works and...

    Hi, I’m currently rebuilding a set of 1972 CB450 K5 front forks. However the damper rod part number 51430-323-020 doesn’t operate smoothly. I cannot find any replacement damper rods. Has anyone serviced the damper rods as I cannot see how to open them up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello , new here, but thought I 'd share my dual project. Picked up 2 sisters 74Cb450 and 75CB500T for $800 total, and decided to bring both back to life. The 450 would be mostly stock and and 500 more a cafe racer/bobber. (and after Restoration, i'd go take my driving license ) I stripped...
  10. Tires, Wheels, and Brakes
    Hello, I have a '73 CB450, currently trying to rebuild the front disc brake caliper. The issue is the piston–for the life of me I can't get it back in there. I've tried (per other posts) • obsessively cleaning the channel that the seal sits in, to ensure there's no debris • lubing the...

    I picked up my bike back in 2014. It was in pretty rough shape with 22k miles on the tach, but I eventually turned it into a pretty reliable little commuter. I mostly ride it short distances around town with the occasional cruise on some country roads - It runs pretty well but the whole time...

    Hi guys and gals my name is Zack. I'm 33 and I live in Buffalo NY. I grew up just an hour south of the city at the southern tip of Letchworth State Park. I'm the son of a Carpenter (at least 5 generations deep) and an artist. I am a perfect blend of the two. I went to college for a long time and...

    Hey guys, so a few months back I purchased a 1982 Honda CM450C..Seller said it had 8000 miles on it, and he put 200 hundred on in the last two years. The bike ran like **** and looked like it as well. In fact I crashed it during the test ride, as I was going to pump air up in the tires...
  14. Fuel Supply and Carburation
    I have a 1978 Hawk TII with a VB-21B carburetor that I am trying to clean/rebuild because it was sitting for three years with fuel in the carburetor and it runs very poorly. I was able to remove and clean most of the jets and jet needles but am having trouble figuring out how to remove the slow...

    Hey everyone! I bought a 1981 CM400T a little over a decade ago as a 21st birthday present to myself. Of course, I was in college and moving around a lot so I didn't have a lot of time to work on it or properly maintain it. I rode it around town for a bit, but after it got kicked over in my...

    Well......it looks like (possibly) back to square 1. I was having a problem with the left cylinder not firing. I found that the timing on the left cylinder was off slightly. Made the adjustments and fired her up. I was getting great compression out of the left exhaust, but, the left side was ice...

    I paid a local shop to do some top end work on my CB360. They installed the cam chain tensioner wrong (prove it amirite?!) The tensioner snapped both the metal tabs on top and bottom off and are currently floating around in my engine. I'll be rebuilding the engine myself this time, but I'm...

    Hey guys, I am the proud owner of a slightly running 1975 Honda CB200T and I am proceeding with disassembly and servicing and what not. This is my first motorcycle and my first time working on one but my teacher helped me convince my parents to let me do it as an extra credit kind of thing...

    I am rebuilding my 1971 CB350 K3. Motor is sitting on the bench and I just put the head cover on. I noticed when keeping my thumb over the spark plug holes I felt less compression on the right side than I did the left. So just to check I did a compression test. I got 35 on the right and 55 on...
