1973 Honda CB350G - motorcycle building project part 06

This is the very beginning of my motorcycle building project! From when I first went to check out and purchase the 1973 CB350G from the PO (purchase owner) in September 2014. I snuggled it into the ga...

Finally finished the teardown by this point. I took a lot of pictures for reference so I can remember how to put things back the way they came. I also needed a lot of photos of the rear end so I can g...

In this episode I took the angle grinder to the frame to cut off some of the tabs and such that I knew I wouldn't need anymore. I will be modding the frame to fit a different seat so it needs to be cl...

I also serviced the front fork, filled the forks with ENI 10W, overhauled the steering, and tightened it....

Almost the Final Step in Restoring the NC30 While assembling the engine, I didn't notice the differences in the shafts where the clutch is mounted. Naturally, I started fitting the clutch basket from...

Then, problems with the electrics began, as the order of the cylinder operations was different. I ordered an NC-24 ECU from China; the prices for them at the scrapyards were outrageous, but this one w...

I thought I'd install them and forget about it, but nope, turns out the exhaust flanges on the 21 motor are tilted differently than on the NC-30. Had to bend them again, try fitting them like 20 times...

The results of the first outing showed the following: The clutch behaves inadequately. As I suspected, the release bearing with NC-30 doesn't fit the 21-24 engine, it's too long. I had to temporarily...
