I still watched it even though I have the earlier K-3 Super Sport. Always prepared for the worst case scenario or a future acquisition, mine or someone else's. Get a ton of questions about working on these bikes, like its rocket science or something. Great content. Thanks folks.
Not much rocket science,the main thing when working on these bikes is lot and lots of patience specially if it has been siting for eons, it will test you over and over, funny thing, the last forks i took apart had been siting for 30 plus outside mainly and that Allen bolt came out just like that, probably helped i doused it with Kroil the night before but didn't need any help or a vice or any heat, that kroil is good stuff,expensive but good, im like you , i like watching these videos even if they have nothing to do with what i have,lol
If you're having difficulties removing the outer decorative chrome tube, and its starting to get chewed, wrap some insulating tape around the tube, fit a wide hose clip ( Jubilee clip in Uk) and tap on that. It spreads the load better, but don't turn the chrome trim whilst you're doing it, or the two bumps will chew up your alloy.
Great videos! This also applies to the CB350F if anyone is wondering. I am curious why none of your videos or parts on your website include CB350 Fours in the list of bikes they apply to. I’ve been very pleased with the parts and advice I’ve gotten from you, but it would be a lot easier as a customer to not have to look up part numbers somewhere else to ensure they fit.
Hey Benjamin, thanks for pointing this out to help some of the other people with CB350F/CB400F motorcycles! Those two bikes aren't ones we officially support and I don't have one here to verify the fitment and compatibility as we do on every other motorcycle we support. Most of the electrical, suspension, and braking systems are pretty much identical to the CB360 family of bikes. It might be something we get into one of these days since there's so much cross-compatibility, but until then we always encourage CB350F/CB400F owners to write to us if they're unsure and we can check compatibility.
Hello, I have a 1971 honda SL350...I am having trouble finding the exact front forks on this bike.. the spring is held down by a snap ring, the bottom bolt that is above the axel came out no problem. I am having trouble separating the boot from the chrome tube on the fork.... I suspect there is a dampening rod or something inside holding it together? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
An excellent video, very thorough and informative and everything worked great. Many thanks.
