Spent most of the day working on the bike and finally got it to fire up once again thanks to new plugs and adjusting the ignition timing. I couldn't quite get the timing right by setting the points gap to spec and adjusting the plate, so I ended up adjusting them one at a time. It still took a...

That's a good idea. I'll probably go ahead and coat the inside of the cover just to rule that out. Would liquid electrical tape work, or do the points get hot enough that I should use RTV? I've never dealt with a points ignition system before. Sent from my LG-H700 using Tapatalk

Wow, it's been almost two months. Sorry, I haven't had a whole lot to update. Work put me through Audi's Fast Track program and all of the online training for those two weeks has taken up almost all of my free time. I'm finished with training for the time being and I'll be dropping down to one...

Work kept me busy this weekend so not a whole lot was accomplished in the motorcycle department. I installed new resistor caps on my ignition wires to accompany the new plugs, so once I set the ignition timing I should be able to get it fired up again provided I don't have a problem with fuel...

Awesome, I'll keep you in mind. Right now it has the original 2-into-2 exhaust but I definitely want to put a 2-into-1 exhaust on it someday to try to get a little exhaust scavenging. Sent from my LG-H700 using Tapatalk

I've been looking around online for new tires since the ones that came on the bike are at least 20 years old, but it seems like there's not a lot of options. So far I've found IRC GS-11 and Avon AM26 in the stock size for my bike, and quite a few brands that offer slightly wider rear tires. Are...

Thanks, man! Tires are Cheng Shins from 1996, so they're definitely going to get replaced over the winter. I really like the look of the tread pattern so I'm probably gonna pick up some Dunlops to replace them with.

Hello! Bought my first bike last thursday, a 1971 Honda CB350. Other than screwing around on my buddy's '82 CM400 Hondamatic in a parking lot, I have absolutely no experience with motorcycles. The guy we bought it from pretty much insisted that I take it for a spin in his backyard and driving it...
