Spent the past few days since he posted on Facebook trying to rationalize why I should buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max power Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 (edited) Don’t rationalize, it’s a motorcycle. Just buy the fucking thing. Except bowman. He needs to make some room in the garage first. Edited July 26, 2018 by max power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReconRat Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 (edited) I had two CL350 scrambler and one CB350. I really liked these. OK, sidecovers missing, air cleaner box missing, air pods installed. Front fender missing, that will cause the two cables to flop against the tire and wear through the protective cover. Rear tail light bracket and plate holder missing, some sort of "other" installed. Nice to have the stock exhaust. Nice seat, probably re-covered. Stock seat would of had "HONDA" in faded gold letters on the back. Check underside of seat pan for rust, and if the hinges/latch still work. . Be sure to check the wiring for crazy hack jobs. And the tank interior for condition. Lock Tite the screws holding the heat shields on the pipe. They had a habit of vibrating off. Use little fiber washers to prevent heat transfer. Timing was best set to full advance of 38 degrees. If seeing timing too far off at idle advance, get new points. There was a design casting/machining flaw on one of the cam adjust shaft bores. With age, once the valve train wears in a bit, the adjuster won't quite close the gap far enough. Don't set the exhaust valves too tight. Looser worked better. Otherwise air cooled engine would heat up and hang the exhaust valves open when warm. Scrambler was max speed of around 95, but had decent torque and handled quickly. 380 pounds and could throw it around. Easy counter steering. Easy to pick up in the field when it's on it's side. Pretty durable, hard to damage. edit: And those drum brakes should be cleaned out and lightly sand the glaze off every year after Winter. If you don't you'll get brake squeal. No big deal.
