I've just spent the last few days watching your build from 1 to 24. Very well presented and easy to follow well done! Can't wait to see the finished project. Those black rims look cool! By the way I just love the way you guys pronounce the word "out" lol.
+Richard Powell lol! I've done some traveling in my day and heard that I say "out" really weirdly but I can't for the life of me hear what ppl are talking about!! It makes me laugh though as I get that from a lot of my American friends. Anyway, thanks for the support and I'm glad you're enjoying the series.
Hi dude, just re: the rear issue. Measure the width of the stock sprocket with calipers, then add washers to bring the 520 to the same width. Keep in mind chain alignment, when you shim the spocket do it evenly. Place one washer on each side of the sprocket behind the cover, then another ontop and it should bring you up to the correct width. If you change the chain center slightly it should be fine, but you can always shim the front sprocket retainer as well. You'll find out when you attempt to put the chain on. I had to do the same work my kit from motomadness. -Chris
+Overture Cheers Chris! Keep an eye out for my next video where I try something else and let me know if you think it'll work. Should be posting it soon. Did you make the shims yourself? How? Thanks again!
Hay Tony, great video. I'm having the same issue as I removed the chain cover as thought it looked better,but now the sprocket seems loose. I think it will be ok as the front sprocket also feels loose. I may just add another washer to tighten things up. Any how let us know how you get on. keep wrenchin! Andy
+andyp32 Cheers pal! Ok so I spoke with Jeff, the guy that helped me with the engine rebuild, and he said that it's supposed to be a little loose so that the chain can self align. I believe I may have solved the issue as you'll see in the next vid but I'll know for sure when I get the chain on there.
Hi dude, Love what you have done to your CB350. I'm currently rebuilding a 1974 Honda CB360 and I'm at the mocking up stage before sending everything to paint etc... I have hit a wall when it comes to the Speedometer rotor on the front wheel hub, I'm installing the Motogaget Motoscope Mini Scope which makes the rotor on the front wheel useless. My question is, how do you cancel the rotor on the front wheel hub? Is there another part I can put on the wheel hub that doesn't have the rotor? I would really appreciate your advice as I saw that you also installed the Motogaget Motoscope mini scope tacho. Thanks mate
+Vincent Collard Hey dude, there is apparently a plug you can buy for the front hub. There are also custom parts you can buy to remove the speedo entirely. This would mostly be found by metal workers making custom motorcycle parts. I did find one but it was very pricey and I had decided that I had already spent a fair amount on the bike. It looks sort of like a cone. I don't have the link for it but I'm sure if you searched it online you would find it. Check 4into1.com I think I saw it on there actually from TC Bros.
MAN, I got those same circlip pliers from eBay...those things are killing me, ha! Snapped off a few of the attachment pegs and the locking mechanism is fiddly as all heck.
I didn’t polish the parts with wd40.. only used it to clean the parts! It’s an excellent cleaning agent. I used a wire brush bit on the end of my drill to help clean. The polishing process is much different. Don’t use wd40 to polish your parts. Only a grinder with an affixed cotton wheel and the appropriate waxes to polish.
@@SaturdaysWrench Haha ok. It sounded weird to do that. I polished my fork legs and wheel hubs with the whole process - wet sanding, then black, brown, and white rouge on a bench buffer, and finally autosol. I was just curious about the process mentioned in this video because it seems faster and easier for odds and ends like the brake arm bolt or the cam chain tensioner housing.
+BBoy90009 actually if you live in Canada it is a lot easier to go to a powersports dealership as you have to pay hefty import and duty charges through them.
+BBoy90009 ohhh ya ya.. that works also. I didn't mean actually physically going to a dealership to get them printed. I just meant that local powersports dealerships will have a website with the fiche and diagrams online where you can save them and print. But yes, that's a great source too. Sorry for the confusion.

I agree with Chris, you need to measure, shim and do it evenly. Great videos, always really enjoy them. Going to be a sweet machine
+gsdecky ok thanks man, I'll look into it for sure. Thanks for the support!
WhOOT !! Keep up the work ! Those wheels turned out purdy !!

+Saturdays Wrench For sure! you could attempt to add a stock spacer, but washers are the cheaper option. Make sure they are high grade steel
+Overture will do! thanks again, I appreciate it.

+DreaminginWaves HA! They are the WORST!
When you polish the parts with the wire wheel and WD-40, are you putting WD-40 on the part or the wheel?

Hi Tony, just wondered where you got the chain and sprocket set from? 👍🔧⚡️
+andyp32 Chain is local from canadasmotorcycle.com and sprockets are from sprocket specialists in California.
no need to go to honda dealership, just search partsfish.
+BBoy90009 actually if you live in Canada it is a lot easier to go to a powersports dealership as you have to pay hefty import and duty charges through them.
oh, i was referring to the parts diagram. i thought i had remembered you saying to go to the dealership and get it printed off.
+BBoy90009 ohhh ya ya.. that works also. I didn't mean actually physically going to a dealership to get them printed.
