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

More European Consumers Choosing Honda’s Dual Clutch Transmission

Mon, 15 Apr 2013

Honda‘s work developing its second-generation dual clutch transmission appears to be paying off, at least in Europe. According to Honda, customers have purchased more than 12,500 units with DCT since the technology was first made available on a production motorcycle with the VFR1200F in 2010. The Japanese manufacturer now offers four models in Europe with optional DCT: the VFR1200F, the NC700X, the NC700S, and the Crosstourer.

Rossi runs special Simoncelli tribute helmet

Sun, 06 Nov 2011

During the 10 o'clock trial laps today, Valentino ran with a new helmet dedicated to his friend Marco Simoncelli. To demonstrate how much Valentino was affected by the tragedy that hit the Honda rider, Valentino's helmet will be divided in half: the front part of the AGV GP-Tech will be exactly like Marco Simoncelli's, with its red and white motif and ever present number 58, while the back will maintain the colours Valentino used throughout the 2011 season. Vale will use the helmet for all of Valencia's weekend.
