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! b

Hi Brian. I’m new to your channel and I’m rebuilding a ‘72 CB350 K4. These videos are a godsend. Ty!!!!!
Great to hear! Good luck with your rebuild.
Brian Matson thanks Brian. Quick question: I’ve completely stripped down my bike. Replaced parts, repaired others and I’m ready to begin the reassembly. What would your first five steps be in beginning the rebuild (in order)? Thanks a lot!!
That’s a tough q. I’ve been noodling it. I’d go from back to front I think. I feel like series went in a good order but keep in mind I knew I had to partially disassemble and carry upstairs. Lol. Get the center stand on the frame first. Then rear wheel. Then forks, bars, front wheel. Then you have a roller. From there go back to front with fenders, lights, air boxes, battery box, coils, etc. get the wiring in. Leave the front pages/side, tank and seat for last. Depending on your space you could either put the motor in while still on the ground or just lift it in once it’s upright.
Brian Matson super helpful. Thanks so much. You rock.
Thanks to Jack Black for this tutorial
You’re welcome
Easy stuff. Thanks!
But how did the oil come out?? Had my little bike for a month and it already came out
There’s a 10mm bolt out the side on the bottom of the fork. Thats the drain. We may need to change the fork seals if you’re leaking oil.
Thanks for this video! I'm guessing re-fill procedure is just about the same on a Kawa GPz750?! :)
I would assume so. just use a funnel.:)
would you have any idea how to change the oil on a 1979 gs1000L?
I do not. But it looks like there are some videos out there. If anything else refer to the service manual. Sorry. I’m focused on these old Hondas!
I have the same funnel what I do is put a rubber fuel line over the end to fill in tight spots like that that way u can keep the funnel more upright less mess that way lol
I think it came with one but I lost it. Lol. Not to big of a mess was made. I do like the design tho! The hose is a great reminder. Where the hell did I put that thing?!
Do you think it's kinda the same on a Suzuki Savage 650
I would guess so.
Nice to see that dark red Tach range. The bike must of not sat out in the Sun for long term.
Yeah. The gauge’s paint on the inside is almost mint. Really lucky considering it was outside for lord knows how long. It was laying on its side too but the gauges towards the wall. I’m sure that helped!
@@KeepOnWrenching Interesting how all that can work out. It was waiting for your rebuild.
That’s a nice way to think about it.
Jack Black???
People keep saying that.
You would be better off using an oil syringe.
Oh I like it!!
What about the oil F.O.?
Please elaborate.
Oh you all ready drained it! Ok!
Yes. I still need to link to that video in the video cards. Lol. Sorry. It’s a long series. That was like a year ago
Thanks for the reminder. I added a card that links to the draining of the forks process to the front of the video. I sometimes forget that not everyone has been following this ridiculously long series from the beginning. I'll try to remember that moving forward. lol.
@@KeepOnWrenching Not ridiculous. We, the ignorant but thirsty for knowledge, are out here. Thanks for doing this.
