- In this episode, I take an SL350 k1 that I purchased recently, and fix her all up.
This video shows the process of carburetor rebuild, valve clearance set, point gap and spark plug gap, as well as several other required maintenance procedures.

New subscriber! I love it! I had a 1972 CL350 Scrambler. I gave it to my son and he still owns it.
Awesome! Thanks and welcome to the channel Chris👍🏻
I was 10 when this came out. My brother’s friend had one and I thought this was so cool, still do! Thanks for sharing your talents 👍
You’re welcome! And, thank you for watching
beautifully filmed, love the timelapse to show a ton of work in a short time. Good background tunes...cool bike.
Thanks so much! It was a fun one💪
Great video! I'll be picking one of these up soon and restoring it and these videos are packed with helpful info for guys like me.
Awesome! Thanks for watching 👍🏻
Love that bike. Want one now as an around town commuter. My older brother had /has a cl 350 think a72. Love to see his face when I show up on this 😂. Nice to se it run ! I follow a guy who has these old bikes re birthed Kaplan America. 👍🇺🇸
I had one just like it back in the day. Rode it everywhere. Sure wish I had it now.
You have done a beautiful job of bringing this bike back to its original condition ! When I was much younger I had a new one just like it with a couple of exceptions. Mine was RED and it had an electric starter. I still believe that it was the most beautiful cycle I had ever seen. I've owned many Hondas such as the 160 and the 305 (broke my leg on the 305). Later on I owned others but I kick myself often for selling the 350. What fantastic lines. Simply a work of art. I am in my 70's now and I would love to have another just to mount on a pedestal in my living room to admire.
I know what you mean, I’d like to have one of these on display in my house too. Thanks for sharing, I love hearing about these and the happiness they bring👍🏻
Way back in the day (73ish) I owned a 1970 SL350 in the same color as yours. It had a few differences. It had an electric start, the headlight mount was chrome, the mufflers had a small chrome skid plate mounted to them, and finally the front fender had a silver panted tubular mount on top of the fender. It really was a beautiful bike. A little heavy for full off road work though. I sold it and got a 250 Elsinore, now that was a true off road bike, but I always missed that SL350...
Forgot one thing, Honda has a recall on the gas cap. They replace that push button release with a slotted turn key release. You can use your key or any flat tip screw driver to open the gas cap with. Personally I preferred the push button set up...
Thanks for sharing, Mike💪
Bike looks great, excellent job...
Happy to discover your channel. I am currently restoring an SL175 K0. It will be followed by an SL350 K0. My 350 only has about 3500 miles on it. I had Randy Marble repaint the bodywork for both bikes. He does as good a job as you will find and the colors are very authentic. I also have a SL125. I just bought a US-made reproduction exhaust that is first-rate (equal to OEM).
Sounds like you’ve got some fun projects! Hopefully my videos help out with the journey 👍🏻 Thanks for watching
Nice bike, shinko tyres are good, dedicated motorcycle tyre manufacturers from Korea, you are lucky in America, alot of old motorcycles available.
Thanks💪
nice job Lyle
Thank you!
Really nice and well done video!
Thank you!
Nice bike. Always liked the SL series since my friend had an SL 70 way back when. Same color also. Thanks.
Tha is for watching👍🏻
Beautiful
Hi Lyle, I live in Australia and I’m certain I sent you a reply about your other SL350 ( the yellow one ), I also watched your video on the SL175, which was great as I had one myself back in 1973.
However I must say that the blue SL350 that you are working on is in remarkedly good condition for its age! ( but now even better )
I really enjoyed watching all your video’s
Thanks, for watching Alan. I really appreciate your feedback!
Had a 71 K1 topaz orange in high school loved that bike
It was a nice bike back in the day - much more usable than the Yamaha Enduros.
Nice bike, you did a great job! Personally, I would have gotten the electric-start model. Guess I'm just lazy!
Thanks Charlie! 💪💪😁
@@lylesgarage Well, I didn't listen to my own advice! Bought a 1971 model, in really good shape, will be starting on restoring the few fault's it has! Guess I better start building up my right leg muscles, LOL's!
@@charlieneal8253 just don’t ever turn it off once you get it started, problem solved 😁
Great work. It’s nice see😅ing this 1 classic run ! Let me know if it’s for sale. . I am looking 2 get one in spring ..😂. B4 maybe.
Thanks Mark. I’d sell it if the price was right👍🏻
Nice job, i have the same bike looking for a good seat cover
nice
After you get finished with the restoration, do you sell them?
Eventually, after I’ve forgotten how much time I spent fixing ‘em
Hi mate, can you tell me where you find spare parts on the internet for this model? Thx
