I know there are about a million threads about going up a size on tires. But I wanted to just confirm that going with Shinko 712 tires 3.00-18 front and 3.50-18 rear, will have to problems on stock rims. My 1975 Cl360 has 1.60x18 front rim, and 1.85x18 rear rim. The manual states stock tires...

So, the compression on my bike has been gradually deteriorating form about 140psi down to 125psi. Also the top end started leaking oil and gradually the motor just became nasty. I decided to take the motor apart and rebuild it over the winter. Took the top end apart. Cylinder walls seem ok, no...

Hello everyone, I have a strange issue that I've been trying to figure out. Pretty much all my lights flicker in synch with rpm. It all started with my tail light flickering at idle, but now pretty much all of my lights including turn signals are doing it. When the bike is idling at low rpm the...

hello all, Just trying to figure out an alignment issue I have with my CL360. When I bought it, I immediately noticed this misalignment, but the handle bars were crooked. So I thought there is some misalignment but the handlebars might be throwing me off even more. Anyway, I recently had a...

Hello everyone! Can anyone help me ID this gas tank on this beautiful SL350 flat tracker? Love the way it blends right in. Not too big not too small. Thanks

Hey everyone, This is a repost from my build thread, I thought it might be more appropriate for this section. My build thread: http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=59122.0 I'm trying to figure out some tuning issues. I've got a feeling that the bike is not running at its best. I got...

My 1970 CL175 has been running ok all summer, charging at around 13v. Never really rode it long distance nor did I ride it at night much. Mostly to and from work in the morning and evening. And its been doing great. Lately however, I've been riding on weekends long distance and noticed that it...

Hey everyone, I am having some issues with my ignition coil. The spark plug boot has some loose and easily separates from the wire. I find myself constantly pushing it in at stops. Any ideas on a replacement? will mikesxs ignition coils work? (plus condenser). Tried looking online (ebay), I...

Hello everyone, Starting on another build. Picked up this SL350 for cheap ($300) locally. It was basically sitting in someone's backyard under a tarp. It had spiders, bugs, leaves, cobwebs, little nuts?... and all kinds of crap. Looked like it had been sitting there for a while. The PO told me...

Hello everyone! This is kinda after project actually because I'm already done with the bike but I thought I would post it anyway. I've been a long time lurker of this forum and learned a great deal! Absolutely amazing people on here, very helpful and knowledgeable. I pretty much didn't need to...

Hello all, A long time lurker here. I believe this subject has been covered on many threads before. I have read lots about the mikesxs rims and everyone has good things to say about them. They seem to lace up to CL350 and CB350 ... etc and larger bike hubs quite well. I have a honda 1970 CL175...

Hey everyone, first post. Just got a 1970 CL175. Starting to do research for a build. I am going for a brat style look with super thick tires. the bike came with 3.50x18 rear, 2.75x19 front setup. The current stock fork inside width is close to 4", which means I can safely put 3.25x19 coker...
