Vintage Honda Refresh! Making My1985 Honda XR350R A Bit Nicer -

I finally got around to cleaning up my 1985 Honda XR350R, been wanting to make it look a bit better without completely "restoring" it. Long day in the garage but the results were nice.
Special thanks to my friends at Super Clean for their support providing me cleaning products that made this job easier.

Best dirt bike ever made!! Good video tom!! Ive got an 84' 200r runs strong clean 84

@@keos9388 my buddy had a 200, it was a good machine.

[@kellygoertzen849]

It looks GREAT! Time for a moto-camp trip now.

[@TomsTinkeringandAdventures]

I could probably get some luggage on this bike, but it’s better suited for day trips

[@danielbridgewater3444]

Sweet bike...old XR's never die.

[@TomsTinkeringandAdventures]

Thank you, it’s a fun machine.

[@TheBlueDogMan]

That single carb XR350 was a great improvement over the dual carb models.

[@TomsTinkeringandAdventures]

Honda completely changed the bike in 1985, fixing a lot of issues. Then after making this amazing bike for one year they drop it. Glad I got a chance to own one!

[@azdesertdog]

I think Jay Leno calls it a sympathetic restoration. I like this better. Visiting a garage with museum quality bikes, never ridden, is like attending a wake.

[@TomsTinkeringandAdventures]

The bike runs good and is fun to ride, now it looks good too. I do need to get a good gasket set and ensure all the oil stays in the engine rather than keeping the outside lubricated. 😂Very un-Honda.

[@azdesertdog]

Honda-Davidson😂

You may not even see this but can you please do a woodsy riding video. Nobody seems to have one. Love the look, and would love to hear this one run

[@TomsTinkeringandAdventures]

Not a lot of woods close to me in Southern California, but I love riding in the trees. Will see what I can do. I still have a few small things to wrap up on this bike

[@ray77j]

Thanks!

[@TomsTinkeringandAdventures]

Thank you sir!

Good job, Cousin Tom Moudry! May I suggest you try covering your sensitive data with a piece of paper or use a video editing program to blur it? Have you tried some GOO Gone for any labels or similar material?

[@TomsTinkeringandAdventures]

I have used Goo Gone, works good with fresher adhesive but not great for 40 year old stuff.

I bought a 90 DR350 a couple few months ago and leave it to the spy algorithms, I keep getting fed suggestions for "vintage" dirt bike content. (Are we old enough to be considered "vintage" so soon? I've been enjoying your channel since though, so I guess YT/Google is only mildly creepy in this particular case. From a "vintage" Jarhead to a "vintage" Squid, keep up the good work, dude. Rah.

[@TomsTinkeringandAdventures]

I like the DR350 as well. I’m sure I can claim vintage for myself. 😂 USMC, get it Devil Dog!

[@joemamma2036]

Where did you get your tank graphics from? Did they stick? I have the same bike

[@TomsTinkeringandAdventures]

I bought the set on eBay. It’s only been a few weeks but they are still holding well.

[@joemamma2036]

Awesome,.. got the site info?

[@TomsTinkeringandAdventures]

@@joemamma2036 just search for your year/make/model decals.

[@toddhoffbeck3173]

Do you ever ride in the desert requiring a paddle tire?

[@TomsTinkeringandAdventures]

I generally ride in “mixed” desert where it’s hard packed, rock and sand. I don’t just go play exclusively in the sand, a powerful bike can go through the sand without a paddle tire no problem.
