    76 CB55O SS

    I'm toying with the idea of selling my latest bike to fund a new project. I picked her up late last summer. It has 30k on the tach. Runs like a champ, after rebuing the carbs last fall. Also threw on new tires at the end of last season. Basically I did all the tricky stuff to get it running...

    CB550 SS seat options

    I just picked up a 76 CB550 Super Sport, it came equipped with a massive King and Queen seat. Any of you know what stock seats would fit? Other than the same year and model. They seem to be hard to come by.

    The beast of burden.

    I was cleaning my garage after a long winter and I found this. I really have no excuse not to be riding this heap in a month or so, well besides money and motivation. I have a month to go and I will be taking my state electrical journeyman's test. It's the culmination of 4 years of an...

    How not to make a fiberglass seat/ How to make a fiberglass seat Trial & Error

    Here is where i started, the now normal florist foam. Also a healthy dose of hope that this would be a breeze. I used an old hacksaw blade I had lying around to make some cuts before I started shaping with a sanding block. It easily started to take shape. I decided when I was mocking up the...

    CL 350 rear-sets bolt on options?

    This weekend I am heading out to a local motorcycle wrecking yard I was wondering if anyone could suggest any bikes that might have rear-sets that would bolt on? I am running side pipes and I don't think that will be a problem with clearance. Any help would be sweet. Thanks Dan

    I have a CL350 I am thinking about going with a bigger tank. Will a CB tank fit? This may be mundane question and if I searched I would probably find an answer here but any help would be nice. Thanks Dan.

    NO fuel to carbs. Help.

    I have recently put all new gaskets on my CL350 carbs, new fuel line, and cleaned the petcock. Yet still no fuel into the bowls. If I remove the fuel line gas comes out I can see it in the in-line filters. It just seems none is making it in to the carbs. Is it possible to have some suction that...

    Gasket rebuild kit.

    I have a 72 cl350 that needed new float bowl gaskets. The local Honda shop had a gasket kit with all the gaskets/ o-rings needed to rebuild. There was one small washer included with each kit. I haven't the slightest idea where this goes. If anyone could help me that would be great.

    CHecking in from Minnesota.

    I'm Dan from Minneapolis. This is my 72 CL350. This bike has been haunting my garage for the last three years. I've finally gotten around to digging into it. I had started with a 72 CB500/4 but I have since sold it, after some serious lack of motivation, which now focuses all of my attention on...
