If the ball bearing is there and everything seems to be working as it should you probably need to clean the clutch plates, as you said earlier. We just had to do this on a project 350, and a yamaha DT1 before had the same issue. Pretty common!

Yep, that tank is from a CB 450. I have spare motor mounts...

Email me for pics of anything. It's easier sending pics directly. My email address is kingstonmotorcycle@gmail.com Thanks.

Nope, that's a different member. He was asking me for parts. I don't have the knee pad tank. Sorry man!

Replied.

Should have also included that I'm in Massachusetts, and the bike is a model year 1970.

Got a complete CB 350 that I'm looking to sell some parts off of to fund some projects and shop improvements. Let me know what you want for parts, where you're located, and an email address for direct communication and I will reply with price + shipping cost. I'll work something out with...

Hey all, I picked up a pair of vintage Akront shouldered aluminum wheels the other day. They're both 18" and 36 hole. Anyone have any thoughts on using these on a build? My vague idea when I bought them was that they'd be great on some old british period racer/"cafe", but I'm not an expert on...

Can't wait to get the rearsets. Well, I guess I can wait, but I won't like it!

The ball bearing was missing when we bought the bike, but we've since replaced it.

So yeah, the CB350 clutch is not actuating. The bike shifts through all the gears and whatnot, but if it's in, let's say 1st gear, and we hold the clutch and try to roll the bike the bike will not come out of gear. I'm curious if anyone is familiar with the mechanism that actuates the clutch...

I need a pair.

I am looking for the clutch pushrod actuator. I may be calling it the wrong name, but it's the little screw-style piston that when you pull the clutch lever it screws out a bit and pushes the clutch pushrod. I need the whole assembly. Would even take a complete clutch cover with assembly.

I think the first thing to address would be determining if the kickstarter turns the motor over or if the shaft is malfunctioning. I find a lot of the 450s tend to malfunction at the kickstarter shaft so you don't really get a good, solid kick. If the kickstarter is actually functioning as it...
