Years ago I made contact with a hawk that I never saw at about 60 mph. The hawk hit the left handlebar and my left-of-sternum chest. It wrenched the handlebars out of my hands and pulled three ribs loose from my breastbone before exploding into a cloud of feathers. The resulting crash separated...

diesel450 hijacked this thread on Dec 31, 2010 @ 06:55:20 and 18 months later we're still talking cheese!!! This is the threadjack of all time!!! FMTL

Just read this myself!!! ROFLMAO over the cheese exchange. I read it aloud and even had my wife laughing. By the way, did diesel450 ever make Moderator? I think hijacking a serious thread with a one line post has to be some kind of record!! Did the kit solve any problems or did the thread just...

Jramos13, What about the pipes? FMTL

Chewy, PM sent. FMTL

Anybody listen to Joe Bonamassa??? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gn09Xn9JF5s FMTL

Anybody got any usable CL350 pipes laying around they'll come off of? FMTL

There's an over-running clutch between the crankshaft and the alternator rotor where the starter gear is located. There are three springs with little buttons over the springs holding rollers in tapered slots between the crank and alternator. When the starter is engaged, the alternator is being...

After starting does it quit if you turn the lights off? FMTL

Any device (turnsignal, lamp, neutral indicator, etc...) that is mounted in a plastic housing will need to have a separate ground wire connected. You can just connect a green wire anywhere on the frame after connecting the main ground (or use a main ground strap with a skinny extra wire) and run...

Kop, I'd appreciate it if you could mike the inlet and outlet dimentions of your known carbs and let me know what they are. Compared to the Keihins on my CB350, even individual carbs for 750s look kinda small. I'd hate to spend $60 for a set of 550 carb kits and find out they're really 400F...

Frogman, Thanks for the heads-up!! I pulled the bowls off and only one of the carbs has any corrosion at all!! There is no gum, no varnish, not even any discolorization. I held them up and when the floats dropped down the needles dropped with them!!! The needles are all tight but still turn...

DAMN!!! I hope he gets $550 for those carbs!!! Those are the exact same carbs I've got!! I can rebuild mine and just get them looking pretty and if I get half that I'll be happy!! ;D FMTL ;D

If anybody might have a set of 350 four or 400 four carbs sitting on their bench I'd appreciate it if you would mike the openings front and rear and report back here. This might help me figure out what these things are. As I said, I can't find any stampings on the carbs to identify them at all...

Alright, I just spent the last 10 minutes with a flashlight and magnifying glass looking for some stamped numbers and if they're there, they're invisible!!! The only marking of any kind I could find was the Keihin on the side of each carb. I haven't pulled the mounting plate off or removed...
