    STOLEN 1972 CB350 Cafe Racer

    Hi folks, not sure where to post this but my lovely '72 CB350 cafe was stolen from the parking lot outside of work yesterday. I don't have much hope of seeing it again but just in case anyone hears of a bike or parts, let me know. Custom frame cut for unique seat and one-off bars. Just paid...

    Removing cover with tach gear 72 CB350

    You guys rock! Excellent advice that comes from experience, not a manual. I followed your instructions carefully and it worked perfectly. Wish I could buy you a beer.. I will toast you this evening! Hopefully the new gasket will fix the oil leaking. Cheers!!

    Ghetto chain lube

    Standard factory oiling for drive chains on Triumphs was to mix 30 wt oil with paraffin (=kerosene this side of the pond). Not too hot of course but warm. Soak the chain, pull out. Drip dry and good to go. Gets into the rollers. RF

    Removing cover with tach gear 72 CB350

    Hi Folks- The right cover that accepts the tach drive cable is leaking oil. I removed the four bolts holding it to the head and removed the lock nuts from the camshaft pins. Still, it is super tight and won't come off. Am I missing something or is it just locked from 40 yrs (perhaps) of...
