This video series features the complete restoration of a 1972 CL350 Honda Scrambler motorcycle. The videos should help anyone whether working on a cafe racer build or a full-on original restoration. I'm definitely not an expert so please refer to your manuals for proper disassembly and assembly instructions. Please leave comments if you have any questions. I'll be happy to help answer questions if I can confidently provide solutions. Again, I'm not a professional. This is my 2nd Honda motorcycle restoration and I'm learning every single day. I'd love to hear your tips if you have better ways to do things. I hope you find the series useful and entertaining. I strive to show as much detail as possible so that the videos can be used as not only a how-to resource but also a reference for the placement and original set up of parts and systems.
If you don't have one already please get a manual for your specific project. There are many available online for download for free.
Common Motor Collective, from which I source many of my replacement parts, has a fantastic resource on their website: bit.ly/CBManuals
You can also join groups on Facebook and get involved in the community.
Keep on wrenching, Friends!

Is it just me or does this guy sound just like Jack Black???
people keep saying that. LOL
@@KeepOnWrenching because you sound and speak like him. Godbless you both. Also thanks for the video hahaha
There's a guitar in the background
I imagine some A-list awesomeness of awesome performers, such as EG Jack Black, would have anonymous channels so they can interact with other genuine hobbyists without "Fans" clogging up the discussion.
Anonymity - they need it
Lol. You never know!
Awesome stuff bro!!
I see you use "Wizards" products. Great stuff! I use it on all my vehicles, motorcycle and even the lawn mower.
By any chance can armor all also help restore rubber on shoes? I have some old shoes that the rubber had harden but still can be saved.
Good video. I have had some success using chrome colored spray paint. May work on the rusted up cover.
I’ll definitely be using some “touch up” chrome on some parts for sure. Comes in handy! Finding a replacement points cover is proving to be a little harder than I thought. The one I have is pretty bad. We will see how it all sorts out.
Gave the chrome spray a try. Not too bad of results. Thanks for the suggestion!
What is armarol?

Man, you should wear some protective gloves!
I really should. You’re right.
I like the Armor All trick. I remember seeing on one of the Honda V4 forums about a concoction that someone came up with the rejuvenate the rubber on these old bikes, especially for the hardened carb boots. It really softens the rubber back up to like new. Did the Armor All soften it up as well?
Absolutely. Soaking really helps. Not so much of you just rub it on.
Use wintergreen oil to restore and soften hardened carb boots.
Will this work for lego rubber like restrenghten it
Worth a shot. Wintergreen oil is also another option. People tell me about that all the time.
yes look good as soon as u do them, but they won't stay like that tho.
You gotta maintain them for sure. I’m pretty meticulous about cleaning and keeping things protected. I guess it kind of a “do no harm” approach until I can afford to replace stuff. Plus, it is what it is. I love preserving these old bikes for better or worse and with what I can do at the time.
