  1. he rides in jeans, sneakers, a t shirt and a helmet. 3 broken bones in his foot, broken thumb, road rash where you would expect it. He wasn't going too fast thankfully. sounds like he locked up The front end and dumped it.
  2. That's why I charge $50/hr labor.
  3. Can't believe none of you philistines got the Monty python reference....
  4. A pod will always flow more total air than an air box, I've never fitted pods or ovals on a bike and not had to go up on jet size/needle position.
  5. Dusty doesn't ride, he's just here for the free vintage honda knowledge.
  6. No matter what. 3 notifications. They never go away. 3 is the number of notifications thou shalt see and the number of notifications shall be 3. Not 2 notifications nor 4.. 5 is right off.
  7. I'd be down for this if I didn't have to be home for a termite inspection at 1:30 as I found a few hundred of the little fuckers in my mulch beds this week.
  8. I must admit I've never seen an elementless oil filter before. I'll bet the last 30 years of owners haven't either. when you clean the drum I'd save what comes out of it and see how much metal is there. As far as your gas in oil/gas in crank case/ gas on floor issue, the float valves in the carbs are shot or full of shit. As far as the cone filters: recon is half right. The cheap black and silver or grey ones made by emgo hinder performance but it's not because they flow less air than stock through the element. It's because there is a ridge on the rubber that mounts to the carb throat that blocks off the air jets.
  9. Here is where the oil filter is: And this forum post will tell you how to service it: http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=1579.0
  10. It is my sole objective to impress internet yokels with my adept use of the English language....well that and to finally have normal gender role buttsex night.
  11. the shell also provides abrasion resistance, something the impact-absorbing foam is not great at. Maybe I'm a milqtoast but I'd rather not chance compromising safety for asthetics.
  12. Gotta watch painting helmets, depending on the paint and the material the shell is made from, the paint can weaken the helmet.
  13. Seems that dyna never made a cb350 specific ignition. Pamco did, along with boretech and Charlies place. This forum may help: http://www.hondatwins.net/forums/50-electrical-discussion/23961-electronic-ignition-pamco-vs-dynatek.html
  14. I've heard from people on cb750 pages that the new dyna units aren't as reliable as the older ones. There has been one on my 849 project since before I bought it and it makes fire every time but I'm not sure how old it is.
  15. Looks like recon is the brain trust when it comes ton the 350. I forgot the points run directly off the cam on those bikes... anyway there should be enough info here for you to muddle your way through it. Would be a good idea to ditch the points for a dyna ignition tho, then you never have to fuck with it again.
  16. This should get you close. Gap should be .012
  17. Points are easy. Download a pdf file of the factory service manual if you need to. Or I can screen shot you the instructions from my 750, dollars to donuts they're the exact same points, honda was good like that. The marks are as follows: T 1 is the cam timing mark for #1 cyl. f1 is the firing mark for 1. Same for 2.
  18. Points are easy. Clip a test wire from the wire leading from the point to ground and turn the crank slowly until it lights, then check and see if the mark is lined up with the F. The plate the points are on will have screws you loosen to turn the plate until the points close and the light lights right when the timing mark hits F. Points need dressed periodically, get some krokus cloth and use it to sort of flatten down the contacts and remove any corrosion, then spray out with contact cleaner. Points also need gapped. Get some feeler gauges and find out the spec for gapping And the process for adjustment. this is all considered routine maintenance meant to be done with each oil change. 70's technology sucks, there's a reason they use optical timing or trigger wheels now.
  19. Welcome newbie. Hope you stick around, most chicks get weirded out by the leg-humpers and lose their nerve. Enjoy the mild weather, ohio is only nice for about 19 days a year, the rest of the time it's too cold, too humid or its raining.
