Mad props to anyone who kickstarts a bike in flipflops! Rock on Sleeperdude!

[@Sleeperdude]

Thank you

[@mackjenkins7721]

I totally agree with you on this one. I used to do the same thing kick start my bike in flip-flops because that is the only footwear that will fit my foot because i have big very very extremely wide feet with very chubby fat wide toes that are equally straight across making my foot very very wide at 6 1/2 inches wide from my big toe to my lil toe. My friends thought I was very crazy for riding a bike with flip flops on. But I tell them it's either flip-flops or I go barefooted 👣 cuz there's no other Footwear out there that will fit my foot.

[@1980bwc]

@@mackjenkins7721 Dang Mack! You got some Sasquatch blood in ya. 😂

[@mackjenkins7721]

@@1980bwc " LOL" it's definitely crazy. I have even driven my bike as far as 1100 miles to Daytona Bike Week in flip flops. I have 2 foot brace attached to the bike so when I'm riding it I can put my feet up. When I'm on the interstate passing people their face expressions when they see a chubby fat dude on a bike with flip flops on with very extremely wide feet & chubby fat wide toes that are equally straight across they stare at me with this shocking looking face. Even had one Dude ride beside me because he couldn't believe how wide my foot was & how the flip flop stay on my feet because I had my feet propped up while riding down the interstate at 75 miles an hour.

[@mikebarrett3428]

I had a friend who had an old gold wing with really bad tires on it. I brought it to his attention , but he blew it off and hit the highway. The rear tire blew and he was able to bring the bike to a stop, but was run over by oncoming traffic according to witnesses. He was dragged several feet before the driver stopped. He passed away, so I’m glad you are taking care of those.

[@Sleeperdude]

Wow that’s terrible

[@mattsagin717]

The third position on the key switch is for the parking light. (Believe it or not) You can park the bike and leave the rear light on so it's visible, to avoid someone running into it I guess. I was 16 and found one of these rusting behind a buddy's garage. the same bike but the street version, not a scrambler. I got it running and was so happy to putt around on it. Led to a lifetime wasted messing with old machines. Wonderful memories.

[@Sleeperdude]

That’s a great story thank you for the info

[@11secghia]

My 650 Triumph has the same thing ,they sometimes call it a "woodshed light" So if you have your bike is parked out back you can put on the small light and not wake the neighbors or in case of a charging failure limp home...

Sleeper, Everyone loves those old Honda and Yamaha bikes. They are a blast to ride. You also have something worth a pretty penny in the collectors market. By the time your done, You’ll get a lot more than the bike and parts cost you. As with most restorations, you never get paid enough for the hours you put into it. The biggest problem is Ralphy wanting to bring that on the trails when he’s 14-15 years old.

[@Sleeperdude]

Yeah I like them to

[@FirstLast-dd5bx]

When I was 20, I bought 2 non running CB 350's and even though I knew nothing, I was able to combine them to make one running bike. I love those old Honda's. My Dad had an old 550-4. I remember some days of riding my bike in the rain around town and just doing flat track power slides around every corner. What a blast, it's a miracle that I never dumped it.

[@txnetcop]

Had a 66 Honda 305 Scrambler...great bike! Sold it when I got back from Nam and bought 428 ci Mercury Cougar...and later 396ci Nova

[@Sleeperdude]

[@haroldrogers6083]

Those rubber strips that protect the tube , we called a inter liner . Coker is a fantastic choice for your antique tires . Coker bought the moldes to many old tire tread patterns . The shop i had worked for had some guys that restored Model Ts and As and we were able to find the correct tires and tubes from them and also we restored a 58 T- bird convertible and we were able to put some wide white walls (known as Gangster Walls) that looked prefect on that red with white top Bird !

[@Sleeperdude]

Yes I have used them for several cars lately I love their stuff

[@dennishough3709]

My favorite thing to do growing up in the 70’s was going to the local Honda shop!! Still remember the sweet smell of the shop!!! Cheers,

[@yoshinoyajones8924]

I was told that in the 70's the Honda ignition switch was also used on the autos of the time and that spot is accessory on Honda cars. Not sure of that but i asked the same question in 92' when i was building my CB 750.

In 1971 after returning from the Vietnam war, I was lucky enough to buy a used mint low miles 1967 CB450 for $500 dollars. All black in color except for chrome fenders, chrome side covers, and a chrome exhaust. On mine, the exhaust was different than others I had seen. It had 2 scrambler style pipes, one on each side. Cool looking bike. I absolutely loved that bike. I drove that bike for 4 years, didn`t lay a wrench on it. Enjoy yours Sleeperdude, they are a blast.

[@Sleeperdude]

That’s a great story thanks

[@loganlovescarsandmotorcycles]

The bike I rode had a rear parking light. My mother had 3 200 Twinstars, a 650 4 cylinder, 400, and a 400 Hondamatic. She made me work on all of them. I will never be a mechanic but I think it's good to learn. I had to ride in the winter. It wasn't fun or very safe but I can't stay home for long slippery roads or not.

[@Sleeperdude]

That’s a great story

When yall were cleaning it, I started havin flashbacks of my favorite movie when I was little. "The Dirtbike Kid". I dont know if you would have ever watched it or not. You are few years younger than me. I was born in 80. I recommend that movie for anyone who's never seen it though! Its a really good and clean family movie. I dont think they even make movies now without cussing and all that in it. I bet Ralphie will like it.

[@Sleeperdude]

That’s funny I will have to check it out

[@Cameraman148]

Kool Video Brings back a lot of Memories. .I bought a new Honda 350 Scrambler When they first came out In 1968, its was a replacement for the 305 Honda Scrambler( Dream Engine) I road this bike on the Highway and then converted it to a Hill Climber..45 Tooth Rear Sprocket and Cut Knobbies for Tires, ,Painted it Solid Blue. .Took a Few Trophies In The AMA sportsmen Class..Loved those Hondas !! Cheers !

[@Sleeperdude]

Thank you so much and that’s awesome

[@bruceleealmighty]

As has already been said, the 3 position is generally your rear tail light. Used primarily while stranded, kind of like a marker light. But, can be configured to be the 2nd On position and will activate all lights on the bike. Most bikes don't have this feature anymore, but it seemed legitimate in the past.

[@Sleeperdude]

Ok thank you

[@almikelipscomb]

Bringing back lots of memories. Bought a then brand new 1970 CB 350. I remember taking those air covers off.

[@Sleeperdude]

Awesome

[@smarternu]

If I remember right, the second switch position puts on the tail light/turn markers. It is to protect the bike during temporary parking. Of course it has been 30 years since I owned half a dozen of those bikes.

[@Sleeperdude]

Ok thank you

[@cb-gz1vl]

Yup, so you can work lights without the motor on. Also so if the bike rolls it doesn't roll start.

[@Ayanasakai]

Hey Sleeperdude! Great work on a cycle from the era when I rode Triumphs. A tip for the future when changing casings: Lay the new casing on the floor & then place the inner tube in position, slightly inflated within the casing. Then add the cycle wheel & proceed as usual with the levers. Use soapy water as a lube. Sure saves a lot of skin from your knuckles this way & it's much easier! Same for push bikes as well. Keep up the great work but I can't help thinking you'd be struggling without the assistance of Ralphy & Rocky!

[@Sleeperdude]

Thank you for the tip , I definitely am blessed with helpers

[@Chris_at_Home]

I used to ride mine from Brunswick, Maine to Eastern Connecticut where I grew up. The 350CL maxed out for me at about 85. I used to haul ass but had to stop a lot for gas. I always kept my tuned so it would make the redline of 10500 When I was in the Navy a bunch of us had CL350s and one guy had a Triumph and every time we stopped he had to fiddle with something. He bought it in England and drove it to the base he was at in Sicily, except for ferry crossings. He then brought it to Maine. I have a nice picture of parked on the rocky coast of Maine. BTW, that looked like a military base sticker on the front fork, that’s where I had mine back in the day.

There should be a key insert under your headlight. I have a Honda xl350 1973 shop manual. Manual says turn your handlebars left or right insert key push the key in turn 60 degrees to the left while pressing in and it will lock the handlebars from steering to prevent theft. Hope this helps.

Hey sleeperdude, what a wonderful life you lead, I’ve been around motorcycles all my life, raced them for 20 years. Two things about your cl350 that bother me, the levers are too far up, when you sit on the bike your arms from the elbow to the fingertips (resting on the levers) should form a straight line,allowing you to stand, sit back or forward with the least angle in your wrists. Also after you adjust the levers don’t tighten them all the way, allow a very small amount of slack in the lever clamp so when (not if) you fall, your levers won’t snap but move on the handlebar. I don’t have a zoo full of animals in my life as you do, just two dogs, Vito and Bruno, Vito is going in for a big knee surgery this week, say a little prayer for him, ok.
