PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION IN ITS ENTIRETY; THE PAYMENT TERMS AND THE SHIPPING TERMS BEFORE YOU BUY.  THANK YOU VERY MUCH      

1971 Honda CL350 Scrambler. VIN CL350-3045355

This bike has a clean/clear Michigan title. Only has 6,951 miles on it (it still had the original Bridgestone tires on it). It's super clean and runs great! I went completely though this bike and it is in very good shape. I put 500 miles on it in just a couple weeks. It's a fun bike. Easy for beginners, and perfect for the nostalgic. 

Here's an overview of the work I have done: 
Cleaned up the mechanical advance clutch cam assembly, lightly lubed and reinstalled after checking for correct function
Replaced the gas cap gasket (after making sure the vent was clean) with an OEM Honda unit
Installed a ATC fuse holder & a 15 amp fuse
Rebuilt the carbs with the OEM Honda seals kit (has original jets and needle)
New battery
Set the valve lash
Set the point gap and timing (I have since installed a PAMCO electronic ignition, but still have and will include the original points and condenser)
Freshly gapped OE plugs
New reproduction petcock valve
New pair of OEM Honda style fuel filters
All cables are new, including the throttle cable (except front brake and tachometer cables. The originals were lubed and reinstalled)
New front and rear brake shoes (EBC 315g & 314)
New grips/throttle sleeve
New tires/tubes/liners (Shinko 244's; 2.75-19F, & 3.50-18R)
Kohler rectifier/regulator (I ordered a factory style connector from Vintage Connections), so no wiring was cut
New intake couplers
New turn signal flasher
Synchronized the carburetors
New front wheel bearing: All Balls 25-1319
New clutch pushrod seal
All lights/signals function correctly
Removed, cleaned, lubed and adjusted clutch cam assembly 

Small issues:
The tank is not original and has some dents.
The head stock and headlight bucket appears to have originally gold colored (judging from the inside of the headlight bucket)
I lost the brass rod that affixes the air cleaner covers
The air cleaner covers do not match the bike's color
The neutral indicator doesn't work 
Even though the starter occasionally spins w/o engaging the engine, it still easily starts
One mirror is reproduction, and one is original. They are slightly different sizes
The clutch slips occasionally going into 4th. Once fully in gear it does not slip again, regardless how hard the throttle is applied. I suspect it's a lubrication issue. I used JASO spec oil, but a different oil may solve this

Wed, 10 Jul 2013

In what has to be the company’s biggest splash since being resuscitated by Champion Trikes a couple of years ago,  Lehman Trikes has released the Monarch II LLS conversion for the Honda F6B. The Monarch II LLS features independent suspension, parking brake, 6-cubic-foot trunk with vertical lift door, and, like its namesake, a ton of accessories, standard. The conversion boasts Lehman’s trademark craftsmanship and styling along with the comfortable ride of the company’s new LLS independent suspension.

Thumbs up for a chilly N.E.C.

Wed, 08 Dec 2010

Apart from the freaky weather I have to say last week’s Carole Nash Motorcycle Live N.E.C. show was the best Birmingham event I've attended in the ten years. I really appreciate the fact that manufacturers chose to ignore the recession giving us great stands to cater for every enthusiast young and old.  Aprilia made a welcome return and I don’t know anyone that didn’t enjoy admiring the WSB RSV4, surely the the most gorgeous bike on the planet? The Honda stand rarely disappoints and this year was no exception with banking bikes providing fun for all the family.
