Hi everyone, I'm new here and new to old Hondas. My current ride is an '04 CBR 600rr, but I just picked up a '71 SL350 for my fiancee. Its her first bike, and she loves the classic looks and standard riding position or I would have talked her into something a little newer. The little thing is in great shape, under 10k miles and the previous owner was an older gentleman who's been riding these things since they were new. Of course there's a few things that need work, clutch needs to be adjusted, needs fork seals and rear shocks, and I'm going to replace the points with one of those new fangled electronic ignitions. Hopefully she doesn't drop it too often as she learns to ride, but at least parts are cheap! Anyway, I'm off to browse the rest of the forum for tips on clutch adjustment and why there's a slight backfire when I shift (hopefully it's just me being used to fuel injection).
