    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!

    '75 TC185. I had no idea I had to actually punch the axle out, but here we go! Found this video after 20 minutes of fumbling around trying to figure out what is holding it in.
    Edit: Another 20 minutes later and it's off! Now to put the tire irons to work.

    Next time try vice grips and a small hammer to get that "cotter pin" out.

    Easiest way to pull out a cotter pin is to use a pair of side Cutters and grab hold of the cotter pin and lever against the nut to pry it out

    Good find on the old bike, they are getting tougher to get these days.

    Use 000 steel wool and WD40 on those spokes. Time consuming but way quicker than new spokes.

    So my shaft is stuck. I’m able to push it about an inch. I’ve tried releasing the tention on shocks so it’s straight but still stuck. Anyone know any tricks please

      Heat can help. Get some penetrating oil in there for the night then hit it with some heat. Be careful not to mess up the threads by pounding on it. Good luck!

    Where’s the cam chain? I did these steps before removing the cam chain. Thanks!

    • @KeepOnWrenching
      @KeepOnWrenching  2 роки тому

      Cam chain is in the actual engine.

      @@KeepOnWrenching thanks for the reply! Isn’t there a chain connected to the back tire usually? Totally motorcycle noob here. I have a 1975 cb200t

    • @KeepOnWrenching

      That’s your main drive chain. That’s the one I deal with in that video…loosening it up, etc. cam chain is inside the motor. Did you not have a chain around your back wheel?
