Thanks Sonrier, I picked up a cheap little digital voltage gauge on Amazon at least for a temporary option. I'll probably just velcro sticky it to my tank for now. I'll keep my eyes out for an LED headlight too.

I wasn't able to find a short anywhere. It reads about 11.75 at idle with the light on. I unplugged the light and it idles at 12.4 and climbs with revs. I think I've just been putting around too much and letting it idle for too long with the light on. After reading more about the 360 charging...

Won't be able to do any testing until tomorrow evening; I'll post results. It's a stock headlight.

Hey everyone, I think I know what my issue is, but I just wanted to get some verification as I'm sitting here at work wondering what my issue could be. I recently bought a '74 CB360; it's a bare-bones hardtail bobber. Small battery, it was a YB5-L, no turn signals or horn, kick start only, and...

What have people been doing for a rear brake return spring? I think I can figure out a way to set up a brake light switch but the brake lever doesn't want to spring back just under the pressure from the drum springs.

Hey guys, It's prime riding season and my bike is so close but not quite finished, I need your help So last year I bought a bike out of a guy's barn, not really knowing what I was getting into. It was a 1978 CB400T Hawk with the engine and electrical from a 1970 CL450. The guy did a heck of a...

She goes!

Put it all back on, fiddled with the cable and it works perfectly. Or it seems to anyway, I guess I won't be able to tell for sure until I get the cover back on and some oil in there but I have to wait on a gasket. Can't wait to ride it for the first time!

Well I took the clutch assembly off the bike and I think I might have resolved the issue. Apparently the pressure plate needs to be oriented in a specific way in order for the teeth to line up. The pressure plate was hitting the center clutch basket rather than sliding over it and causing a gap...

I bought a 1970 CL450 recently and I've never been able to get it into gear. I figured it was a clutch adjustment issue and focused on getting it running first. Now that it's running the shifting issue is the next big thing. Motorcycles are pretty new to me so it took a lot of messing around but...
