hi. i just picked up a 71 cb350 and it runs pretty well up until around 5k rpm, then bogs. i assumed it was jetting or timing. (it does have pods and those common motors/dime city mufflers) watched a video on the auto advance unit behind the points and went in to check it out. i dont know the...

Ok, brought it home from my friend's garage. Starts easy enough, runs steady. In fact it's a blast to ride, although I'm a bit tall at 6'1" ish. Didn't tackle electric yet because while it looks messy, spark is good and headlight/brakelight work. Turn signals sometimes... Next issue to...

Sam, Thanks! It's a little rough around the edges, but so far it's been starting/running reliably! And regarding the muffler, I don't think I've seen one exactly like this, and it certainly looks nerdy, but its not that quiet. Sounds decent, in fact it's louder than my 500 Vulcan twin (but that...

here is a random picture that makes the bike look a little cleaner than it is. missing the side cover. and the foot pegs seem to be angled upward more than they should be. this is part of the wiring mess i will deal with eventually.

ok, its been a week and the bike fired up first kick. pretty excited that the battery held its charge so there doesn't seem to be any slow drain issue. opened up the front brake after reviewing the videos spotty posted. i think last time i opened them up, i may have clicked the racheting...

jesus. good work, man! quite ashamed of my replacing a rectifier and being daunted by a mechanical disk brake...

didn't get a chance to mess with the front brake, but i did replace the rectifier. (whether or not it was the problem) charged the battery to 6.1v rewired the rectifier using the wire color guide from a cb/cl 450(?) thread crossed fingers started bike on third kick rode around! got over...

very related question: any consensus on a few drop in replacements for wheels? i'm assuming any cb125 with a front drum would be a no brainer, but anything else to keep an eye out for?

haven't been back to the bike, but i'm watching videos and getting a better grasp of what i'm looking at. (video is much better for me than an exploded diagram!) quick question, is there a temporary grease alternative that i might have on hand such as chain lube (spray) or motor oil? and i'm...

re: brakes when i got the bike, the front brake lever squeezed, but had almost no impact. basically none. so i opened what i thought was the brake mechanism housing. (not sure if this whole assembly is considered the caliper). 3 bolts as seen in this photo: everything looks to be present...

also, this feels out of place next to proper restorations, so please let me know if it belongs elsewhere.

hello. my first post. many of my searches brought me here so i figured i'd start a thread. (unfortunately i just have this one photo to offer) https://flic.kr/p/nWkyu9 i bought a 78 cb125 single to fix up for my girlfriend. i wanted a project and figured a small bike would be cheaper and...
