Hey all, My CB350 is rattling somewhere in the engine when the clutch is engaged. It goes away as soon as I pull the clutch cable in. I'm going to pull off the clutch cover this week and take a look around, just wanted to see if y'all had any experience with this and advice on places to start...

Hey All, New weird problem with my CB350 - the engine makes a rattling noise when the clutch lever is not pulled in, but it goes away as soon as I pull it in. The sound is very similar to if the kick start is lowered while the engine is running - kinda a rattling/buzzing noise. Obviously I'll...

Hey all, Just got a VF500 and I'm having the oddest issue. The bike turns over fine, gets a solid spark (red not blue, but solid all the same) and will turn over once, but then not turn over again until I let it sit for quite a while (30 minutes plus). I cleaned the carbs and they were...

Hey All! What gauge wire should we be using for our plug wire? I'm considering picking up a roll of this stuff: https://www.amazon.com/Cloth-Braided-Primary-Wire-Tracers/dp/B00B1WOYHG/ref=cm_cd_al_qh_dp_t I figure I don't need 10 gauge 'cause this isn't a car (CB350, CB450, and CX500). Is 12...

Hey all, After starting up my CB350 for the first time in a few weeks, I discovered that the right side cylinder wasn't firing. After a bit of digging around, I ended up verifying that it wasn't fuel flow, and was about to check my plugs when I noticed water dripping down onto my toolbox...

Hey All! My CB350 just got knocked over, and my beautiful headlight bucket is cracked to all hell now. I need a new one and am having a hell of a time finding one. Mine is a 1971 with the Derby Green paint. While I may not be able to find that color, I'd love to find the correct bucket, and...

Hey All! I've put together rear sets much like these: http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=7401.0 http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=7970.15 and they're working great. The only issue is that, as my bike is a CX500, I need a way to change the direction of the force. All...

Hey All! I just finished rebuilding my CB350 that I was planning to turn into a cafe bike, but after getting it all together I realized that the original pieces were in such good condition I wanted to leave it as a bit of a blend of Cafe/Restore. Mainly just a restore with rear-sets, clubmans...

Hey All! I've heard a lot of conflicting information about installing a voltmeter, and what the readings mean. I'm hoping to install one on my CB350 before I install Shorai battery, this way I can monitor it for both over-charge and to make sure it doesn't drain too low. I would like to...

Hey All! Went to my local auto store today after reading a ton of posts about replacing the bulbs for the cb350. Sadly they don't carry any 12v bulbs, and the closest they had were 14v. Is this going to cause issues for my bike? Sorry, I'm sure this is a stupid question, but I still have a...

Hey All! I'm finally at the point where I'm confident my bike is ready for a battery upgrade (been sticking with $35 lead acid batteries until I can see them hold a charge over a few months). New wiring, and the Ricks Motorsports Hot Shot Charging System upgrade have solved all of my charging...

Hey All, My chain tensioner just fucked up yesterday and I'm hoping to get riding ASAP. I ordered a new tensioner off ebay but with the weather turning in a few days I'd love to get a last ride in and was wondering if anybody local (Seattle) has a CB350 tensioner for sale. Thanks!

Hey All! I'd like to remove the starter from my CB350 and have seen that tons of people have done it, however there isn't a comprehensive list of every piece I need (get) to hunt down and take out. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hey All, Just wanted to let you know that I followed these instructions and it worked like a dream. Within 20 days I was riding legally in Washington state for $70. Saved me about $200 and a 6-8 week wait for an inspection - one that I probably would not have passed considering my blinkers...

Got a CB500f that is all original except some idiot swapped the mufflers out for something they made in a garage. I'd love to get it back to stock. Anybody selling the stock mufflers for a CB500F or know where to find some?

Anybody done this before? Familiar with it at all? Any advice or any idea if it would work? My thoughts would be to pop out the Ural speedo and put an aftermarket mini-speedo in, possibly one that combines speedo and tach, or else put a side mount on for the tach.

Hey All! I'm using the Old School Speed rear-sets for my CB350, but am having a ton of trouble with them between 1 thing and another. 1) They seem to be hitting the mufflers pretty consistently. Haven't actually ridden with them, but you have to have the levers basically horizontal to start...

Hey! I'm looking to pick up some stock CB350 switches! Anybody know a lead on some?

SUUUUPER nooby question - The switches on my CB350 were broken when I purchased the bike, and somebody purchased the handlebars for a really good last minute deal for me, SO, long story short, I ended up cutting out the cables for the switches (they were suuuuper stuck into the bars) and...

Hey all! I'm mounting VM30s on my CB350, and have read a ton of mixed reviews about whether you can use the stock CB350 boots or use CB360 boots, OR use Mikuni boots, so I thought I'd ask in 1 thread: What's the solution for this? Where can I buy the parts I need? I tried Parts N More to no...
