1970 HONDA CL350 Sitting for 42 YEARS || WILL IT RUN? PART 1

A friend of mine just purchased this 1970 CL350. The bike hasn't been registered for 42 years, and has seen better days. For $400, it was a deal he couldn't pass up. The plan is to get this thing back up and running, and maybe eventually throw a supercharger on it... Thanks for watching!

Great job young man! You have restored my hope in the cell phone/computer generations. Always look forward to your videos Buddy! Can't wait to see future videos on this bike, and the race bike!

Cool! My first bike was a 1970 CB 350. Had it until I went into the Air Force in 1980. Should have kept it.

That brings back memories. In 1973 I bought a low mileage 1972 350CL. It had the red metallic paint. 5 of us in the same Navy Squadron had them. We were stationed in Brunswick,Maine and we spent many weekends riding the narrow coast roads. I put about 20,000 miles on it before I sold it. I made up a test light that I could clip across the points to set the timing. It was easier that holding a probe.

This helps a lot because I have one and it has not run for as long as yours has thank you

[@timparker9235]

it's not often I see these small capacity Hondas get the treatment you just gave this one, and they just fire straight up - nicely delivered video too!

just found your channel, cool stuff

[@niallsommerville9813]

Be honest, how tempted were you to fix the front flat, flip the seat down and go for a ride? Nice job, thanks.

Nicely made videos. The 175 project is badass! I’ll buy that Hooker exhaust off of this CL 350 if you plan to use something different.

[@robertkarowenem6120]

LOL, when the carbs are missing, you can allways put an injection kit on it, word goes around that you're good at it !!

[@vintageironmotorcycles]

😂 and that's exactly what we plan on doing...
