Not my auction but I thought someone here might be interested... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=280246714080 '

This weekend I completely stripped my CB350. My intentions started innocently enough, I needed to pull the engine so it could undergo some internal work but once the engine was out I used the most dangerous words in motorcycle mechanics: ad my fate was sealed... Now pulling the motor is...

OK now I'm a complete newbie so maybe am just looking in the wrong place, but I just got the head off my CB350 today and there was no guide roller AT ALL. Zip, nada...

Have you seen the BCR solution? http://www.benjiescaferacer.com/battbox.html

Unfortunately the CB350 manual for the twin keeps failing when I try to download it. I have the tank off and all the bolts are undone from the head, but it won't clear all the studs at once, it keeps bumping the top of the frame. I'm considering cutting a tiny notch so it will clear...

Hi all, The engines are different of course, but are CB350 parts generally the same across both the twins and the fours? Specifically I'm wondering about seats, but I'm curious about the rest. Christopher

Anyone know if the tank from a Honda Dream will easily go onto a CB350 Twin? Thanks, Christopher

Ontario plates are almost exactly 12", so yeah this one's likely 4' wide. Incidentally, I was flipping through Bike and Boat Trader and new 5' x 8' landscape trailers tend to sell in the $1,500 range, so the TSC trailer seems like a bargain even at full price.

Is that URL right? I can't seem to connect to repairclub.com Thanks, Chris

Do you have a recomendation on WHICH shop manual I should buy? Thanks, Christopher

Cyclewerx did a leakdown test on my right cylinder that had no compression. They`re reasonably confident it needs new piston rings. It`s high season so they don`t have time to pull the engine and heads but they`ll do the valves once the engine is out. I planto do the rings on both sides while...

It's already behind my van with my bike on it so it's too late for me. That said the kijiji trailer looks too narrow for the bike with an attached sidecar: How wide is an Ontario plate? My five foot wide trailer was just barely wide enough... Christopher

Hi all, I'll post more details soon, but I just bought a 5' x 7.5' landscape trailer from TSC (Tractor Supply Company) to tow my bike and sidecar behind my 1986 VW Vanagon Westfalia Syncro Camper. The trailers are $100 off until the June 19th. Here is the ad from the back cover of the current...

Hi All, I'd like to buy an engine for my CB350. Condition is important, must have good compression, etc. Thanks, Christopher

Hi All, I'm looking to buy a Honda CB450K1 gas tank, preferably black but I'll take ANY colour. Condition does matter but it doesn't have to be mint, ideally with attached hardware, MUST have chrome inserts. Thanks, Christopher
