Makes sense, trying to learn a new skill as well.

I recently picked up three project bikes, two quite ratty (a CL100 and a CL350). As I am disassembling them to make slightly less ratty I am dropping all of the rusty nuts and bolts into evaporust to clean the rust off. I am trying to decide if black oxide treatment after that would take...

Thank you. I've generally had great results with POR-15. Budgets on these kind of projects escalate very fast and trying to keep it more DIY, I do love powdercoat. I will check out the Appliance Epoxy. Trying to decide how I will treat the current rust. I love evaporate, that will treat...

Reasonable. The lower mounting tab was broken off and I don't know how to tig weld yet. New lower case was suggested, but plastigauge is cheap insurance.

I went to a title place and got the title put into my name! The taxes/fees were more than the purchase of the parts/bike. There is a well reviewed classic bike shop here in Austin named Limey Bikes. Chis is a British man in Texas. I stopped by his shop on Saturday and we had a visit about my...

Crazy, This post makes more and more sense the more I learn and read. I saw a video on youtube where I guy threaded the insert then put a bolt in it to extract it. I am looking at heads on ebay and there are a few decent looking ones, but you never know if you are just buying a different...

Irk, I ordered a reamer and a guide and might take a stab at it myself. I need to do a little research on the valve seats and how that are replaced just so I understand what I am dealing with. I like to think of the money I spend on this stuff as "Tuition" LOL. I have seen the seat cutters...

Thank you. I've talked to a local guy and going to stop by his shop on Saturday to look at the head and talk through the options. I appreciate the recommendation.

Thank you. I will check around here. I just found a used TL125 for a different project that I am going to try to get running in a CL100.

I've been looking at ebay, they aren't looking that great to me...

Thank you for the reply. I have lots of questions. 1.) The valve guide broke, if I replace the valve guide, do I have to replace the valve and the seat? Can I reuse the old valve ( I don't think the engine was work or smoking). 2.) is there a specialty reaming tool that you use to...

I live in Austin, but willing to ship to get someone who knows what they are doing.

So the first problem I want to solve is the valve guide problem. Let me describe it a little better as I am not sure about the components after looking up valve guide parts for the CB at common motore. The spring seat snapped off from what I am calling the valve guide at the head, so the...

I am an older guy (born 1969) and I found a 1972 CB350 on FB marketplace. It came with a title (which I just transferred) The young man (mid-late 30's) had purchased a running cb350 and wanted to learn on it, so he took it apart and had the case bead blasted, but other projects took priority...
