    CB 350f rearsets without rear tabs?

    Thanks for the heads up on what these rearsets may be! I’ve been reading and it sounds like the 350f and 400f have the same frame which means there may be some rearset options for that bike. I’ve seen a few 400s that come off of the swing arm bolt and maybe an engine mount bolt as a mounting...

    CB 350f rearsets without rear tabs?

    It’s a messy garage but hopefully you get the idea. In digging through the boxes of things that came with the bike these more current controls were in there. No clue what bike they came from.

    CB 350f rearsets without rear tabs?

    I got a project 350 four cylinder that had the rear tabs already ground off by a previous owner. I’m guessing he was looking more for a brat build but ran out of steam. Anyone have ideas of rearsets that’ll work or am I going to have to find someone to weld the ears back on for me?

    1972 CL350 Running on one cylinder

    Ok, so when I start it up, the header is warm, just not hot like the right side. By the time it comes out the back, it’s cool. Trying to ride, it jerks like I don’t know how to smoothly let out the clutch. I pulled the left carb and went through it again just to see if that would do anything...

    1972 CL350 Running on one cylinder

    It’s not running on the left at all. I completely cut power to the left plug and nothing changes. I pull the right with the left plugged in and it dies. I DID finally do a compression test tonight on the cold engine. It took a whole hell of a lot of kicking but both sides sit at a little over...

    1972 CL350 Running on one cylinder

    Definitely wet plugs, so I know it’s getting fuel. I adjusted the valves because that’s something I have the tools for, I’ve gotta borrow the gauge for compression. Wouldn’t it have read off anyways because the valves were slightly more open than they should be?

    1972 CL350 Running on one cylinder

    Still haven’t been able to run a compression test but I’m definitely getting fuel to both carbs and also all over my engine. I tore my tank crossover line with my valves open and dumped about half a tank of gas on the engine so I had to replace that. Valves were just a tiny bit off, but now...

    1972 CL350 Running on one cylinder

    Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll give it a shot. I did clean out the petcock when I did the carbs too, so I know that’s not clogged. Unfortunately, the side pipes make it a little tricky to get in there in the left side but I’ll probably start with that before I do the compression test.

    1972 CL350 Running on one cylinder

    Brief history here: Oversized, pistons and new valves went into the engine a few years back. Everything was running well and then sat for almost a year without fuel in the tank. Filled it up, and did some light riding. All was good for a while (20ish minutes). Then it got a little choppy and i'd...

    Gauges - Speedo and Tach combined

    Right, I came across this, https://intellitronix.com/products/digital-gauges/individual-gauges/led-bargraph-tach-speedo-combo, but wrong type of vehicle :/

    Gauges - Speedo and Tach combined

    I'm looking to dump my standard CL350 gauges for a single, hopefully, small gauge. I don't have a problem with digital and/or analog combos. I know Acewell makes a few, but I'm looking to see what people have used, how they like them, etc. I'd love to see some installed too. Price IS an object...

    1972 CL350 5th gear stops at 6000 rpm

    Thanks for the suggestion, I'll look there next.

    1972 CL350 5th gear stops at 6000 rpm

    Yeah, I can redline if I want in any other gear. As far as I know, its stock gearing. It was pretty complete when I got it, so I have no reason to believe it was changed

    1972 CL350 5th gear stops at 6000 rpm

    Every other gear and the bike runs as expected. 5th gear, 6000 rpm, full open throttle, roughly 70-75 mph and it just doesn't climb past it Some background. Carbs are clean and floats are set, running k&n pods, plugs are good - good color good spark. Valves are adjusted. They were replaced...

    Speedometer/tachometer all in one for CL350

    I'm looking for a good, affordable speedo tach gauge suggestion. I'd like something all in one to help make the bike look a little cleaner. I've seen these https://www.ebay.com/itm/171837204331 range in price. Anyone have experiences with these? Are there better options? Thanks for the...

    72 CL350 uneven exhaust pressure

    Hillsy, I never knew that about CB twins. I'm sure my battery is a little low because all I've been doing is starting and idling with some revving in there. I run one of the 8 cell antigravity batteries (I think it's 8cell anyways off the top of my head. It's a medium one that has more than...

    72 CL350 uneven exhaust pressure

    Kinda feel like these might have a bit to do with the low exhaust pressure on my top pipe. . This one I could feel but until I took it off I didn't realize it was this big. This one, didn't even realize it was there! So I patched those two holes and we'll see if that does anything for me...

    72 CL350 uneven exhaust pressure

    Yep, no ports on the 350 carbs. at least the twins. Some people drill them into the boot that connects them to the engine. I worry enough about leaks, let alone adding another hole. and yep, if there's an opening, i put air to it. I'll try to grab a new baseline and see if i can figure...

    72 CL350 uneven exhaust pressure

    Yep, there are two, I think my idle set screws end up having one on each side of the throttle plate, but i could be off on that. I THINK i blew that hole out from the other side, but i'm not 100% on that. There are also the random holes that run through the body in different places, i do my best...

    72 CL350 uneven exhaust pressure

    i strip them down almost completely and soak everything that isn't rubber. including the pin that holds the float on. I replaced those tubes when i did a rebuild and rejet, maybe a year or so ago? First time i pushed those tubes out, they were STUUUCK tight. So tight that i thought they weren't...
