Here we go on a 72 Honda CL350 with some engine problems.
Let's learn how to build a tank, cafe seat, and fenders from aluminum...and also a 362cc engine ;)

A shifter fork must have exploded in a previous life and blew through the top case. Eventually the PO replaced the fork and top case filled over with metal filler.
Not a good enough fix for me. New top case and engine cleaned and ready for reassembly.

And the power went from ....... to ............... Don't keep us in suspense.
Is that Dyno available for rent by any chance? I have to drive for hours to get to the one we're currently using and I don't have the funds or space to get one in house.

Let's clone the seat pan out of aluminum sheet ;)

There's certainly some intriguing & impressive work going on here.
Is the bike being built for racing, or just in the style of?
Are the exhaust flanges stainless? Any further finishing to happen to them, I wonder what a solid piece like that might do to heat dissipation?
Look forward to the updates.

Thanks!
The bike is only used for the street. I had the stainless steel exhaust flanges laying around for a car manifold. They aren't light!
I built this mainly to prove to myself that I could build a race engine and do a bit of aluminum fab. Eventually I will tear it back down for powder, electrical, and a new swing arm bushing.
The dyno is currently buried as the cars are packed in for winter storage. It is also for sale! ;)
I really used it for jetting for proper air/fuel ratio. I think we were in the 40hp range...stock was around 25hp.
...onto the next 69 CB350 build!
