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 " 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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Got the bike looking a lot better. Noticed it has a gold headlight and the primed tank. Now the red side covers. So, looks like painting the tank and light red might be next. Thank you for sharing!

The red sticker was on the shock that is where Florida state inspection stickers used to go.

Really enjoyed this video. I always one of those same bikes back in the 70's and watching you bring it back to life has been great. Can't wait to see the next one! By the way, I still love that Rocky! Take care and Happy New Year to you and your family!

Back in the day, my first bike was a 75 CL360. Rode the neck out of that bike. The left side cover has an indentation on it to clear the pipes.

I think with those scrambler pipes you might need a shorter fender. I had a 72 cl 350 . The pipes went down each side of the bike i had no fender pipe interference problem at all. Good luck. Try neverdull on your side cases. It will take the oxidation off. And polish them nicely

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.

I did electrathon in high school, and that instilled a deep hatred of installing bike tires. I mean I guess I know how to do it, but boy does it suck.
