Thanks for looking! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Honda-CL-CL70-Honda-1971-Low-Miles-Great-Condition-CL-70-vintage-scrambler-dual-sport-/221371388703?forcerrptr=true&hash=item338ac3531f&item=221371388703&pt=US_motorcycles

SOLD I've got it up on Craigslist so I guess it's just easier to put that link here. Bike is rough cosmetically, but running strong. I'd go a bit lower than my craigslist bottom for a DTT'er. Probably best to email me, but I should get an email alert if you pm me or post in here too. Thanks...

bump! 5 hours left and it's still sitting at $550.

Hey, haven't been active on here in forever, so I feel a bit scummy spamming my ebay auction, but here I am anyways! :-[ I'm not going to use it, so hopefully someone else can put it to good use. These things are becoming harder and harder to come by. No reserve, reasonable starting bid...

Interesting. I honestly cannot remember that far back.. I'm not sure whether the por15 had time to fully cure or not-- but nonetheless I'd advise any hopeful cross-over-unclogger to at least attempt the wire trick first, as it is less destructive. It definitely worked for me, so it is at least...

Not to knock Herm, but there is a far better way to clear a clogged crossover. Simple cut off a few inches from the end of an old clutch or brake cable, secure the ball end into your drill bit, and insert the partially frayed end into the crossover. Turn the drill on, and push back and forth...

Re: 72 CL350 Build - updated pics and progress 2/12/12 Moving the tank back may be an option, but bikes tend to look funny when the frame sticks out from under the tank too much. And bolstering the steering lock is such a crappy way to solve the problem. If you have the skills, or you are...

Re: 72 CL350 Build - updated pics and progress 2/12/12 be very very careful welding on metal that may have some remaining residue from strippers/solvents/cleaners/etc. I forget where I heard it, and it may have been an old wives tale, but I heard a horrible story about a hobbyist who was doing...

Re: CB350 Built by a teen (Weird Pipes) FRESH PICS UP! I am a layman, yet I agree with using proper nomenclature, esp if you know what you are talking about. Reading a post where someone uses technical terms gives us laymen a chance to learn by comprehension through context. As for the "next...

Re: CB350 Cafe...The 7 Year Bitch! Don't forget, the spark advance mechanism has a retaining screw coupled with a washer. The screw threads into the cam. If you don't install this, the points cam (the lobed jacket that activates the points) will slip away from the motor, disengage from the...

Why have you run your rear brake with the arms in an up/down orientation? Not only are they up/down, but the appear to not be parallel. The short span of the rod and they way it crosses over the pivot points coupled with the arms not being aligned gives me the impression that the pedal action...

ya, I think this is how he used to do his conversions? But now it seems he just gets the sprockets made.

Awesome, thanks guys. I dug through my parts bins and found a spare cb350 rear sprocket spacer, with the two of them stacked it was a perfect fit. Rereading my post, it kinda sounds like I'm dissing THR, but I definitely did not mean to. I guess a lot of the guys buying from them already know...

Installing a 520 conversion from THR, but the primary sprocket doesn't have the two holes, but it comes with this e clip, similar to the picture below: So I'm guessing that I just slip the sprocket on, then slip the E clip in the slot where the bracket that the stock sprocket bolts to...

I finally figured it out. It was two things actually. For one the batteries were flat out dead, but were holding a surface charge. And two, the points were not grounding out when closed from the water that had gotten in there. Also the kill switch was being weird, but I'm not sure if I...
