Honda CB description

For sale is one 1972 Honda CL350 Cafe Racer. To be honest there is not much CL left on this bike, and it more closely resembles a CB. 

The front forks and wheel were replaced with those of a 1976 Honda CB360, which provides a hydraulic front disk brake instead of the stock cable operated drum.

The engine is from a 1973 (I believe) CB350, but I have the original crank case included with the sale in case you would like to go back to matching numbers some time down the road. 

Some usual cafe/beat modifications include clip on handle bars, a brat style seat, a 2-1 exhaust system, aftermarket rear sets which mount to the passenger leg mounting locations. The gear shift lever and rear brake levers are connected to their respective controls with rose jointed linkages. The exhaust was purchased used and the bottom pipe is somewhat crushed. Exhaust wrap was used to hide that.

The rear frame has been chipped off just behind the shock absorber mounts, and under the seat a brace was welded in to make the back end as rigid as possible. The fenders have been removed, both front and back. Though I have not experienced any wobble while riding it, I have been told that a fork brace should be added. I forward that recommendation to any potential buyer and will leave it up to The next owner. The center stand was removed, leaving just a side stand.

The gas tank is painted with black crackle finish paint. though it looks pretty neat from some angles, this is definitely The weak point of The bike and I would have probably repainted The tank if I were going to keep it. The inside of the tank is free of rust.

The rear tire is brand new. The front tire is not new, but is not cracked and has some tread life left. The speedometer installed is a smaller aftermarket unit, but I will include the original which displays 19886.6 original miles on the odometer. The engine has about 20 miles or so since a complete overhaul. The stock paper air filter elements were removed and replaced with uni foam, but the original filter cages and rubber velocity stacks were retained. This bike does not have pod filters, which are nearly impossible to get right on cv type carburetors.

This bike starts on the first or second kick every time from cold. There is some hesitation at around mid to full throttle which makes me think the carburetors need to be cleaned and possible rejetted to a count for the aftermarket exhaust and uni foam filter elements. The electric start is not wired up because I was going to bypass it completely, but all components will be included. I have tested the starter motor and it cranks strong.

If you have any questions at all please feel free to ask and I will answer them to the best of my ability. 

I am selling this bike because I simply have too many other projects and don't have time to put into this. I grew out of my cage racer stage and no longer have the interest or motivation to finish this bike. I sincerely hope it finds a good home because a lot of time and work has been put into it to get it to where it is today.

Thank you very much for looking!

Day 4 Dakar 2014: Juan Pedrero Wins Stage Aboard Sherco

Wed, 08 Jan 2014

Stage 4 of the 2014 Dakar saw Juan Pedrero take his maiden victory aboard a Sherco SR 450 Rally. Although not in contention for the overall, Pedrero showed he has outgrown his previous role as Marc Coma’s lieutenant at KTM by bringing his Sherco across the finish line 3:10 faster than third place Coma and 29 seconds faster than second place finisher Francisco Lopez. Coma’s performance in today’s stage moved him to only 3:10 behind overall leader Joan Barreda.

2014 MotoGP Qatar in Pictures

The opening round of the 2014 MotoGP season is complete, and if the Grand Prix of Qatar is any indication, it looks like it’ll be an interesting season. If you haven’t yet, read up on the recap for the Qatar MotoGP race for the details on what transpired at Losail International Circuit in Doha. Here then are some of the (mostly spoiler-free) photographs from the Grand Prix of Qatar, including images from the MotoGP, Moto2 and Moto3 classes.

And it's goodbye from him

Tue, 17 Aug 2010

THIS IS Valentino Rossi's farewell letter to his Fiat Yamaha team following the announcement the flambouyant Italian is to head to Ducati MotoGP in 2011.The hand-written letter, mistakes and all, is written in almost a 'my first romance' kinda way. It's touching, if a little bizarre. Some of the letter reads:“Unfortunately even the most beautiful love stories finish, but they leave a lot of wonderful memories, like when my M1 and I kissed for the first time on the grass at Welkom, when she looked straight in my eyes and told me ‘I love you!'"Somehow, we can't see Casey Stoner gushing quite as freely when he leaves Ducati for Repsol Honda.
