I rode a 1972 CB 350 as well. It was an olive green one. In 1973 I packed up some clothes and camping gear and headed west. The ride took me across Canada to the BC coast where I saw the Pacific for the first time. I met family members I had heard of but never met before. What a ride. Canada is one big country.

When I was 14 I learned to ride on one just like yours. The same color, Instantly, I was transformed. I had never felt that way and that was the 70s, we knew about feeling! For one magical summer, I was cool. Sadly towards the end of that summer, my cousin took it home never to be seen again. My parents were strictly against motorcycles, I believe they can be dangerous which makes it more intriguing. I always remembered that bike and swore to myself one day, I would reunite. Life can be an obstacle sometimes, a business to run, 2 daughters to raise, and a wife who hated motorcycles. Well, the kids are grown, and the wife passed away Oct 10th will be a year it's time to make good on that pledge. Move over, I'm coming thru. Thank You

Have never been without a motorcycle since the first one and these decades later have a Harley Roadking and a Suzuki Vstrom 650both of which are well used depending on where I want to travel.

Looks and sounds gorgeous. A real credit to you. I also own a Honda (cherry red 2021 CB 500X) and, as much as I love it, I'd kill to also have a vintage motorcycle as beautiful as yours. I remember when it was first released (along with the myriad of other Japanese motorcycles (CB 750 Four, Kawasaki 900, Suzuki Titan, etc etc)) and set the motorcycling world abuzz. (I must say, living here in a climate which never gets colder than about 4 degrees C and where last week (in late spring (November 2023)) we experienced a week of high 30's and where the native trees and our forests are evergreen - it looks very very bleak in your video. However, outside of winter ... and especially in autumn ... it must look stunning and be wonderful to ride through. Stay vertical on your lovely motorbike😉🦘

I bought this cycle shortly before I graduate from high school in 1971. That summer I took it on a 2 month trip, from Cleveland, Ohio down to the eastern VA/NC border. Then up the east coast to Long Island and back to Cleveland. My "luggage" consisted in my clothes rolled up in a sleeping bag. When I wasn't staying with relatives, I would pull into the wooded median strip on the interstate, during my trips, and camp out for the night. My first "leg" of the trip took me a solid 11+ hours, as I had to pull over for gas every 100 miles.. I remember being at the end of my range and riding down to the end of the ramp at night. It would be dark and nothing either way. I would look as far as I could see either way and head towards the distant lights. It wasn't like it is today with stations at every exit, especially in West Virginia. Great bike that got me into riding. My current Gokdwing has 111,000 Mike on it.

I always thought these bikes (and the later G5s) were very pretty and this one is a real credit to you. I had the 250 version and here in the UK we got flatter bars, a smaller rear light and the back 'guard was longer with a flare. I nearly put my 250 around the clock and rode it as main transport from the mid '80s (rebuilt from non-runner) until the early noughties with other bikes coming and going. Only broke down once. Was running when parked in a shed and one day it will get restored. Here in the UK the 350 Ks were banned from classic racing for a while 'cos an ordinary bloke could build a bike out of something dragged out of a garden and beat rich guys on expensive 'pukka' racers like Aermacchis....

No wonder the Brits were murdered by Honda. 325cc with 106-110 MPH was superior to any 500 the Brits could put out and within a whisker of the single carb 650s. All without oil leaks, constant breakdowns or the nut-loosening, watch destroying vibrations and sold at a price any burger flipper could pay. That would have to be THE best all 'round motorcycle ever made. US sales of 300K over a 5 year run prove it.

Thanks for the comment! Good news is that they made over 66,000 of these bikes in 1972 alone that there are plenty of parts for them. I took the carbs apart on this one and dipped them in a can of that gunk carb cleaner solution. Not much you really need to replace internally, I replaced the floats and the gaskets but that's it. If it's missing the carbs you can pick up a set on ebay or find mikuni replacements, but if you do that there will be a bit of tuning of jets, needles, etc to get it 100%. Good luck, fun bikes and it seems everyone had one or knows someone who did!

Had the 250 version in gold in the day. Now have a red 350K4. Question, where did you find the side panels? The left hand one on mine is cracked. I have spent ages looking for a replacement but can only find expensive old ones which are in an even worse state than mine. Based in the UK.

Hi, I got one from David Silver Spares, they didn't have it when I put the part number in, but contacted me when they got one in. The other side was on eBay. RetroCB.com sells reproduction side covers fairly cheap at 36 USD each, you would need to paint them though. But they wouldn't be as brittle as 50 year old covers either. Thanks for the comment and good luck with your search!

Correct, this is a K4. I put new brake shoes in when I was rebuilding it, and maybe because it's modern material, but these actually work pretty good for drum brakes.

I bought a CB250 2008 which was the last Honda built for rhe US that was close to this bike in design and mechanics...dual drums...carb (1 though)....twin cyl that was at all like the 72 CB350. I've put 50k on it the past 5.5 years....and I believe I'll be looking for a restored 72 to 1978 350 or 360F when mine wears out. That was my favorite bike of my youth. Unless Honda sells the 350 Emporess here by then. Royal Enfield 350 classic is close but pretty gutless for a 350cc.

The royal enfields are nice, though I wish the 350 were a 2 cylinder engine. I was disappointed to find out the new BSA 650 was only a single cylinder as well. Not that they are bad motors, I just think the power and smoothness of a twin feels better. 😊

@@2wheelvintage361 they look right, but have 20hp motors. That's pretty low for a modern FI 350 when the Yamaha 330 commuter twin makes 40+. You have to go to a RE Interceptor to rival your bike. Beautiful cleanup and refit. Best color too.

Why did the engine need reboring to .025" over at 7,600 miles?
@2wheelvintage361
@2wheelvintage361 2 жыл бұрын
The bike with those low miles obviously sat a long time. It had a broken piston ring which we believe was caused from over revving, (since that was a known issue if you ran at the redline) When I brought the cylinders to the shop he measured them and found them to be slightly out of round. I got new pistons, .25 over and he bored and honed the cylinders to match the new pistons.
