Hey guys, In addition to selling my Scrambler, I need to unload my nearly completed 74 RD350 project. Some life changes have come my way and require that I part with such a cool project. The bike is located in Asheville, NC but I will be traveling north to Syracuse, NY around Christmas and can...

Hey guys - I hate to do this, but the time has come to part ways with the 69 Scrambler I restored back in 2013. Some life developments dictate the sale so I've placed a very reasonable price on the bike. **Please note - the bike is located in Asheville, NC but I will be traveling to the...

I'm starting to unload some of the stock parts from my 74 RD250 that may be of use to some of you guys doing restoration work. I'd leave these items posted here for a few weeks before turning it over to the savages on eBay. Hit me up with a PM with your email and I can try to send you more...

Hey guys, I'm helping a friend out with torque specs on a 71 Yamaha 175. He couldn't find them in either the Yamaha service manual or the Clymer manual. He's after the torque specs for the Mag rotor nut and the clutch hub nut. Any input is appreciated.

Guys, I'm back in action with another bike. Some of you may remember the Scrambler I restored over the winter of 2013 - http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=44487.0 I made a trip from NC to NY last December and ended up picking up a 74 RD250 with a clean title on the drive up. This...

Hey Guys, I picked up set of CB450 controls from eBay in which the right side kill switch knob had been a bit chewed up. Since this knob/post is a "unit" I was thinking I could make a mold (coke bottle cap) or something similiar in which I could pot epoxy to a net shape around the existing...

Hey Guys, I'm looking for good working condition CB450 or CL450 left and right side controls for my 69 CL450. I have a nice set of high bars with the wires running through them. All of the controls work, so I don't want to try pulling them back through the bars. I'm trying to set up a second...

Hi guys, I recently restored a 69 Honda CL450. The motor was completely torn down, cleaned, refreshed and rebuilt with gaskets, seals, piston rings and a fresh cylinder hone. Since completing the restore, I'm having trouble with a hanging idle when I fire it up. I'll blip the throttle and the...

I'm trying to finish the engine rebuild of my 69 CL450. The o-rings that are fitted around the base of the cylinder sleeves don't seem to have room to displace when compressed between the bottom of the cylinders and the top of the crankcase where the base gasket is. Typically there is a groove...

Hey Guys, I'm Jay and I have a motorcycle problem. I've been lurking for years and have finally started my first vintage bike project - 1969 Honda CL450 Scrambler. Background - I was given this bike over 5 years ago. From what I can gather, this bike hadn't been on the road since the late...
