We actually only ran the YSS shocks one year because they didn’t work as well as we had hoped. We switched the second year to Ohlins rear shocks and they were much better allowing the bike to track up to 87 mph. The gas tank I believe was custom blown by Clarke, I don’t think that’s a readily available off the shelf part. I’ll check with the builder and if I find out anything different I’ll put it here. You are correct that this bike has turned out to be ultra reliable we ran it in the Mexican 1005 times finishing first and for those endeavors and second on our first try. Each time it ran without needing a rebuild. We did rebuild every other time just as a precaution. Having two cylinders it lugs and pulls through the sand and the whoops without issue. You just point it south and keep the throttle pinned

@@rebelcav after watching it race and catching glimpses of it in other videos I was sold and wanted to do something similar and this is after coming off an xr650r haha but I've ways loved honda single cam engine s and bikes. I'd greatly apericat any info and insite on the build. While I will not be racing mine (much) I will be deploying it as an adventure bike.

Her name is Honzilla partly becuse of the raucous sound she makes at full song.

Hi and thanks for asking. It actually a front fork from a donor XR600. We were not quite crazy enough to want to race 1300 miles on a front drum brake. The swingarm is stock but was lengthened a bit in our shop to get a bit more suspension travel on the Ohlins shocks. The oil cooler was a summit racing off the shelf unit our mechanic plumbed in. This bike has raced the NORRA 5 times in Vintage Light and has finished every race. Our top speed is about 97 mph and the thing is un-stallable even in deep sand and silt. We have been rebuilding the motor every other race.

@@rebelcav how long are the rear shocks?

rebelcav huh I understand more travel in the forks for sure, and disc brakes are an upgrade, but the drum brakes are probably up to the task.... Do you have a site detailing the build? Did I miss it somehow? I’m interested, too. I’m running a CB350F right now (love it) but I really want to sell it and build an SL350 for adding the option of non-road forays. (No interest in new bikes)

Oh- and one way or another I’ll have a front disc lol

@mike d the hard work shows, that 350 sounds awesome and looks absolutly amazing! What a cool bike!
