My new scoot!

Picked up this one along with a welding machine for $400:

1970 Honda CL350 Scrambler






Of course the GPS didn't come with the bike.
37 some year old bike, still starts on the first kick.

 

Nice!!!!!!!

 

$400 for that and a welder you got a deal and a half!

 

That's one sweet little bike. I never find deals like that.

 

my first bike was a green 73' and there was more duck tape than seat.

it's beautiful.

 

Dude I'll give ya $400 for it... Nice

 

..............i usta have a 1971 CB 350,,,got it in Japan when i was in the navy....i think it was a tad under $500.00.(navy exchange)...of course it came back on the ship 4 free....i had that for a very long time..it finally wore out...and i gave it to a friend to canibalize...the carbs were cleaned and transplanted..so..i guess its still ....ALIVE??

 

The exhaust isn't even chopped up on it(popular mod on the scramblers & dreams) that is a hell of a find. The owner of one the company's I work with is restoring two 305's that he paid several thousand $$'s for.

 

Nice score...treat that bike well and it will treat you well.

 

It took me a few hours to clean it up and get the bike running, but it seems like it's running out of fuel at higher rpm.

After it warmed up, I took it on a 30 mile ride; stopped at couple of traffic lights after sustained high rpm, the engine seems to smoke a little, I guess I might need to open it up and inspect the rings on the cylinders.

At least it starts and runs for now, people give me thumb-up when I cruise around the neighborhood.

 

If it hasn't been run for a while it could just be junk built up that's burning off.
I bet the carbs could use a good cleaning to.

 

Why is it that the inexpensive, little bikes always seem so cool? I wish I kept my old '89 CB-1, I'll probably feel the same way about it in another 10 years.

 

Back in the day it was just a bike, now it's a treasure and for a bargan to.

 

wow great score!! you picked up a vintage classic for a bargain!!!
the bike may just need a long run to re seat the rings if its been sitting for a while

 

Bike

Than you for replying to my post and the information about the windshield is what I was looking for.
I don't know if I mentioned that I have a Staintoon and the sound is something unique and power is great, Do use K&N air filters on your bikes?
Your bike is sweet, looks like it's been sitting in a barn for a while. You probably only had to put on new rubber and clean the carb and you can throw your 24 on the back rack.
