I probably would have painted the underside of the fender and seat to prevent further rusting. cool project

[@motorcyclerewind]

I was thinking about that when I was editing the video. Thanks for watching.

[@darkcustomxxx7252]

yep with underbody/chassis black, the thick bitumous brush on paint for the guard.

[@shaunhardie6077]

That is one sweet looking old bike, 😎.

[@motorcyclerewind]

It sure is a great example. Thanks for watching.

[@mikeholbrook5084]

"Bob's your uncle" is a phrase commonly used in the United Kingdom and Commonwealth countries that means "and there it is", or "and there you have it", or "it's done". Typically, someone says it to conclude a set of simple instructions or when a result is reached. per Wikipedia

[@motorcyclerewind]

Mike, thanks for the research. Leave it to our friends from the other side of the pond to come up with, IMO, a fun expression. Thanks for watching.

[@djantix1200]

I agree 100% on heat cycling these old bikes. Things will reveal themselves as you run it and ride it as you said.

[@motorcyclerewind]

You fix the first thing so you can fix the next thing. And sometimes they fix themselves.

[@Turleyswheels]

You notice everything you really are a top bike man love it ❤

[@motorcyclerewind]

I try. Thanks for watching.

[@timhicks2154]

Another great fix of a classic machine

[@motorcyclerewind]

Thanks for watching really appreciate it.

[@davebarrowcliffe1289]

Bob's yer uncle and Fanny's your aunt... is the complete saying! No idea what it means though...😅 🇬🇧

[@motorcyclerewind]

Fanny’s your aunt is way more fun than Bob’s your uncle. Thanks for sharing made my day. I am easily amused!😂

[@iandunipace]

great job getting it running . well done.👍

[@motorcyclerewind]

Thanks. It’s a good looking motorcycle.

[@MaryK4242]

That gear shifter is so weird. I got a regular one from common motor. I think it will work.

[@motorcyclerewind]

Has some crazy linkage. It should work.

[@kalaharimine]

Nice classic, looking good. Is that an XL trail on the right, same colour as my 1st bike - fantastic bikes.

[@motorcyclerewind]

Yes. That’s a little XL75. It’s a friends that needs a little work. He is going to sell it.

[@phensriwood8081]

Hated the fuel tank cross over hose.

[@motorcyclerewind]

Definitely made removing the tank a pain. Thanks for watching.

[@ricardo6861]

Fanny's your aunt 😂❤

[@motorcyclerewind]

😂😂😂 thanks for watching.

[@stephenburton3876]

Enjoy your video's, should the petrol pipes be resting on the cylinder heads ?

[@motorcyclerewind]

Probably not. I noticed they were a little longer than they should be. Once they are shortened we will have more clearance. Thanks for watching

[@NorthWoodsWes]

What would you say is the best piece of equipment to have when working on a motorcycle?!

[@motorcyclerewind]

That’s a really good question. I don’t have any fancy tools. A lift would be nice. 😂 I am not an expert. I believe the most important thing is a shop and owners manual for the motorcycle you are working on. Then the willingness to use it. Hope that answers your question.

[@NorthWoodsWes]

@@motorcyclerewind I was going with lift. Lol

[@maltejuergensen2118]

JIS screwdrivers ….. for Japanese bikes (And a lift :) )

[@rustyrims05]

And on the right hand side, actually?

[@karlvanboxel561]

What du call a man with no arms and legs in a swimming pool? ....... BOB!

[@motorcyclerewind]

😂😂😂that is awesome. Thanks.

[@rustyrims05]

Looks a bit black on the left hand side cylinder head joint?

[@motorcyclerewind]

Good eye!! I saw that too. Will check it out.

[@phensriwood8081]

Oil is supplied up the studs, some seepage from o ring. Normal!

[@mikeholbrook5084]

Is that 350 going to go up for sale?

[@motorcyclerewind]

No this one is for my friend. But the other CL350 and the CB360 need to find a home. If I keep any more I will have to start stacking them.

[@barryjackson123]

Robert is your mother’s brother 😏

[@motorcyclerewind]

😂😂😂thanks for watching.
