I was riding my RM-370 down a dirt road when a Girl came toward Me on this same Bike (even the color)....I waved and She stopped and looked back at Me so I turned around and went back to talk. She was 14 and I was 15............. We have been together 39 years now!
If Bob Ross was working on a motorcycle he'd say " look at those happy bolts, happy used oil and those fluffy new experiences we'll have as we ride it.
I just bought this make and model a few weeks ago. I absolutely love it. Thank you for the videos and education. I’m learning a lot and enjoying the fixing. And thanks for the comedy.
I was a motorcycle mechanic in the 70's, working on on these bikes, and this is a very good tutorial on over hauling the carbs, changing points and setting the ignition timing, and tappet gaps, no mistakes and easy for a layman to follow.
watching this series has been a pleasure, i had the biggest smile on my face when you took it for a ride! your an absolute weapon and should be proud of yourself
I had 2 1973 TX500 Yamaha bikes that I got as garage finds and rebuilt them to like new. Rode them about 8 years and it was time to pass them both on to other youngsters to enjoy - they were beautiful bikes !!!!!
You always keep my interest. My son has a Honda 350 & 750 sitting in my pasture. He has a dream. I sent him this video so it may inspire him. Thanks for sharing.
Just about to get started on a '70 CB350 that has been sitting for quite some time (been a while since I've had an old Honda) and your videos have been really insightful and really enjoyable to watch, too. Thanks for all you do!
Wow old remember when memories brought to life! The CB350 was incredibly fast for its size. My buddy and I started riding around in his parents field when we were young on Honda 50s the graduated up to the Kawasaki 100 2 stroke and the Honda cb160. In 1970 we got our licences and he bought a new Honda CB350. It was a fast bike! Nice to see this bike. Great job and thanks for the memory
I just got around to watch this again and reading the comments left by RadioReprised. I can't believe someone hasn't written the following sales line by American Honda back in the day. "You meet the nicest people on a Honda". I used to own a CB 400F cherry red fuel tank. I sold it with my other toys to buy my wife's engagement ring she still wears that I gave to her 35 years ago. Now one of the hot bikes back in those days was the Kawaski two-stroke 3 cylinder 750. It was advertised as a 12 second 1/4 mile off the showroom floor. It was a beast that one of my friends owned when I was 17.
I owned one of these at age 16. Remember lots of good times. Once got it up to 95mph with a friend on the back. Can't believe it didn't come apart. Nice video.
Hey Mustie - Great video series, I always learn something please keep them coming. I am 72 so have seen quite a number of hondas and this one was a gem. Glad to see that you brought it back!!!
Love older bikes(although not a rider) so today has been a binge watch of this bikes return to the road. Great vid's Darren, proper mechanicing and problem solving as always
I owned a 1972 cl450 for twenty years adjusting the valve clearance and points was a whole afternoon ordeal. Great job nice explanation. Beautiful repair. As always Mustie you are the best.
Outstanding tutorial , Mustie, you have a way of explaining complex subjects that don’t go over my head and give me the confidence to attempt things that I would have normally avoided. Your efforts are much appreciated.
Great video. I just picked up a 1973 cb350 sitting in a basement for 37 years. No rust at all 8 thousand miles. It's dark green and really beautiful but I sure wish it was gold like yours. Between that bike and my CT70 I have two beautiful classics. Thanks for sharing with this video I love it
I had a cl360 back when I was 16, my first vehicle, that thing was a workhorse, I put many miles on that bike and ran just as great 5yrs later when I sold it to a friend, wish I still had the bike, good job on the cb350, thats great that you brought it back to life, just awesome!
First bike I got at 15 was a 73 Yamahoppy 125 2 stroke enduro. This bike has the old feelings for my "first love" back again. Kudos on the tuning and knowledge you share to get this old bike on the road again.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. This is way cool. I've been procrastinating getting my 72 cb350 back on the road. Now I'm inspired to get on it. Thanks!
I watched this series since you bought the bike and it reminds me of when I bought my 440 ltd Kawasaki..all sorts of electrical gremlins and then the mechanical gremlins ....wow some things might have been a p.i.t.a. however in the end somehow it runs on both cylinders now and I put it away for the season.....so thanks for this series of vids as they were really helpful in the diagnosing parts, and the repairing of the issues...
Brought back fond memories, got my licence on that same bike (borrowed) and for a learner that was used to a 125cc it sure impressed me. Great video list as always.
I love it when shit fixes itself up until it stops working again! Good job on bringing it back to life I have a 450 that was my dads that I wanna bring back and your videos are great keep em coming.
I know this is a older video but I just acquired the same colored CB 350 April 2019. It has been sitting in a garage since 1985 original owner bought it April 73 for $831. He wanted to give it to me for free but I paid $100. We are super excited to bring this baby back to life. Great videos thank you
i dont know how i came to this channel...but i watched the the whole series until here of the cb350 and im going to watch the last one today aswell i just cant stop.
I truly enjoyed watching you bring this classic 350 four back to life i had a 74 CB 550 Four, along with a one year only 1969 Honda SL-90 motorsport candy apple red, loved that bike growing up.
Cut my teeth on a '64 Honda CA95 'Baby Dream' but bought a brand new green '74 CB350 for $699 when I was in the service. Hearing the engine note as you accelerated transported me back 45 years in time. Thanks for triggering the memories!
These are the bikes that made Honda.Simple but innovative, sturdy , logical,and made to be repaired easily ! BTW : When faced with a stubborn screw or bolt (small) before you get out the vise grip give it a good tap with a hammer on the srewdriver top to break the corrosion around the thread,one good sharp tap, the idea is to create a shock wave. Works half the time
Thanks for that video - it brought back so many memories. I had a CB 250, in Ireland, back in the 70's and it was identical to this apart from the cc's. I did a lot of work on mine - including a rebuild after a fire - and the video is SO familiar! The scenes adjusting the tappets and the points really brought me back to cold evenings working on the bike in an unheated shed. One problem I solved, almost by accident, was poor front brakes. I discovered that the fork oil hadn't been replaced in a long time so I drained the forks and refilled them with fresh oil. Hey presto! Front brakes were perfect! This bike had a built in flaw that caused damage to many an engine. The choke flap contained a little spring loaded door that allowed a little air in when the choke was closed. Unfortunately that little door could come loose and if you were unlucky it would make its way into the cylinder! In my case it got stuck, melted, under a valve. I did that fix myself too. I loved the bike though as it was my first "proper" bike :)
I love these videos of old bikes, Mustie. I picked one of these 350s up a few months ago. Easy to work on, fun to ride, and entertaining to see other peoples'.
Amazing video series, just watched the whole playlist, loved watching you bring it back to life! Nothing sweeter or more satisfying than seeing/hearing an old motor start back up for the first time in years!! I’m looking forward to getting my cb550 motor up and running. There also seems to be a real VW/vintage Honda cross over too, as noticed a few guy’s on here are into both. I’ve owned, restored, raced a few over the years too. And finally.....nice “Stang” by the way also!!!
Loved this revival project. Had a 400 Honda Hawk back many years ago myself. I like the style, fix what needs fixing, let the patina remain as a reminder that this is in the middle of a life, not the beginning and not the end... Loved how you save things that I would surrender and go get parts for!!! I am learning a lot from your channel. I am now relocated from my previous Texas home of many many decades, to the Philippines, with two bikes here and a few gas powered things. Here, the parts may as well be located on the moon, so rebuilding and refurbishing old parts is the ONLY way, not the cheap way. Like the trick on the muffler, I will be putting that to work quite soon on a Suzuki that needs it. Subscribed and watching...
Man o' man, didn't think you were going to win this battle, but she is now running like a baby.. Those models make stunning bobbers. Enjoyed all the clips! Regards from South Africa!
I was surprised you were able to un stick it and that it didn't smoke like a freight train. I've always assumed that once stuck, the cylinder wall would be in bad shape. Thanks for all your great vids. Somewhat addicted to the Mustie1 channel. Former kart racer and bike shop employee in me has huge respect for your patience and persistence. incredible.
I know what you mean. I had this exact bike for years. Requires regular maintenance all right. The motor is bulletproof. Ran good with KN filters and enriched needle settings. New sprockets and chain and tires transformed mine.
Funny, back in the early 70's I had a 1973 CL350 AND and 1963 Bug, and I used to work on Volkswagons and other German cars professionally, so your videos really take me back.
Cool video .I owned a 1970 cb 350 in 1970 they were good bikes , I got a ticket on it and the cop wrote " riding the rear wheel for half a block" on the comments section of the ticket . Those bikes pulled great wheelies.Your video brought back many memories.
They were a mainstay "motorsickle", honest to the bone, and spawned other brands to come strongly into that size class. I was a service manager/mechanic at a Suzuki/Kawasaki dealership and 350s - 450s were practical and useful machines. I miss the philosophy of the period, the industry has progressed into building machines that are more technically advanced and not near as useful or easy to care for and so very expensive.
Just stumbled on the CB350 series. Great barn find and nice work. The 1971 350 was my first street legal machine ... cherry red and around $820 brand new off the showroom floor. I was the happiest (and coolest) 18 year old in my neighborhood!
Really brought back memories of my Honda 350 I bought in 1972 from a guy going in the service. I had just gotten out of the Navy myself and had the need for speed.
Always a pleasure to watch your videos, but this CB 350 resurrection series was a particular joy. I cannot really say why I've always been drawn to these early '70s gold ones, except that I just like their look. I usually favor British stuff, but I'd be happy to give one of these a good home if one were to follow me home some day.
Mustie , I just wanted you to know that I really enjoyed the Honda 350 series! You are a natural at this and I enjoy 😊 your Videos immensely! I have said this before,,, I always learn at least one thing ever time I watch you! You are like Johnny Carson on the tonight show,,, you were born for this! I think it obvious,,, we need all your family and all your friends looking for more old Bikes!!!! It’s just money, right!!!! Great job!
bumped in your channel when you did the vespa ( I have a 200, bought it for 500 euros, fxed it and it Runs, its 26 years old) now found this vdo, that blows my mind, I had a 35 HP (or so) cb 350 bought for 250 dollars (500 German bucks) back in 79, if I knew what you showed here, I would never have sold that bike, my biggest hick up was carb sychronisation that never holdmits place..so it ran. 170 Km/h (105 mph or so) after adjustment and 5 min later only 130 -140 then back to ajustment. it leaked oil onto the chain and splashed on the wheel, was a bit dangerous..but the sound, the exhaust was rusted empty...big time. super Memories! thanks for sharing
I rebuilt a totally stripped down one of these after the parts needed arrived , I started the rebuild when I got home on Friday night and kickstarted it into life on Sunday morning early. What a marathon, only short breaks for food.no sleep. It ran really well after that. I was probably 18 or 19 at the time, I’m 63 now .... one of my fun projects .....
You made me cry. My first bike was a 1971 Honda 350. That was in 1979. I bought it as as basket case. ( Nothing but a bunch of parts in boxes.) I built it, customized it and loved it until it seized up. RIP old buddy. I miss you.
When I started my apprenticeship in 1972 we had CB 250 s in new and I used to build them from crates as they came with the front assembly off the bikes. We also had Greeves, Rudges, BSAs, Norton’s and a big fat Triton amongst many others. The first bike I built was a C15.
Great demo of how to set dual point setup. I recently took my 74 Polaris snowmobile to a shop to the get the same job done, costs me $250. Could of saved me some money if I had watched a video like yours. Congrats on getting her running!
Outstanding video as always. When I watch your videos I always learn something new, something interesting, something worth remembering... You are an amazing teacher and human being, if you were to teach professionally there would be a queue a mile long of people trying to get a place. Keep up the amazing work and keep the videos (tutorials) coming professor Mustie1!!!
Wow. Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. A college course on small engine repair FOR FREE! Thanks for your wonderful sharing of your wisdom and knowledge! I'm learning A LOT!
Oh I wish I had had this video in about 1990, lol. I had an SL350 Honda (the enduro version) and I had hell getting it to hit on both cylinders at the same time, I had no idea this is how I should have timed it. Learn something new every day! Thank you for the info!!
Hi from England . I have been watching your videos for the past few days and I am very impressed by your skills and mechanical talents .... I think this one is my favourite , here in England this motorcycle would be worth 2000 pounds ... these are collectors items .
I was riding my RM-370 down a dirt road when a Girl came toward Me on this same Bike (even the color)....I waved and She stopped and looked back at Me so I turned around and went back to talk. She was 14 and I was 15............. We have been together 39 years now!
@Peter Roger *romantic bullshit
@Peter Roger i suppose for someone like you peter, its hard to believe a girl would want to be with them lol loser douchebag
39 years you have been controlled. Dumb ass!
Wow what a story , awesome.
8 years ago I asked the girl of my dreams to go out with me on a date,...
and last week, I asked her to marry me,...!!!!
(she said NO both times,..!)
Watching you tinker is like watching Bob Ross paint. I just can't stop watching!
Keep up all the great work!
If Bob Ross was working on a motorcycle he'd say " look at those happy bolts, happy used oil and those fluffy new experiences we'll have as we ride it.
me too funny i feel the same way lol
he should have a t.v show it would be a hit show
He needs a 'fro.
Seriously he is so good with these older motors, this thing runs beautifully. God bless mustie
I just bought this make and model a few weeks ago. I absolutely love it. Thank you for the videos and education. I’m learning a lot and enjoying the fixing. And thanks for the comedy.
I watched the whole CB350 series. I loved all your video. Thank you for taking us along for the journey and the ride as well. Cheers !
I was a motorcycle mechanic in the 70's, working on on these bikes, and this is a very good tutorial on over hauling the carbs, changing points and setting the ignition timing, and tappet gaps, no mistakes and easy for a layman to follow.

Had several of these back in the day. Also had the CL 350 which was a blast in the dirt. I still love the old bikes.
I had 2 1973 TX500 Yamaha bikes that I got as garage finds and rebuilt them to like new. Rode them about 8 years and it was time to pass them both on to other youngsters to enjoy - they were beautiful bikes !!!!!
This is the video that got me on the career path that I'm actually happy about. Thank you Mustie for showing me the ways of the mechanic.
You always keep my interest. My son has a Honda 350 & 750 sitting in my pasture. He has a dream. I sent him this video so it may inspire him. Thanks for sharing.
About the best overall "lesson" I've seen yet on points and points adjustments! Thank you sir.
Just about to get started on a '70 CB350 that has been sitting for quite some time (been a while since I've had an old Honda) and your videos have been really insightful and really enjoyable to watch, too. Thanks for all you do!
I had a CB250 with upswept exhausts over 30 years ago and to see this and hear that ngine brought back many memories, thanks!!
The CB350 was a nice project. Enjoyed following the process. Nice bike.
Wow old remember when memories brought to life! The CB350 was incredibly fast for its size.

I owned one of these at age 16. Remember lots of good times. Once got it up to 95mph with a friend on the back. Can't believe it didn't come apart. Nice video.
Your videos are excellent. This one takes me back to my younger days with my Honda. Thanks.
I love watching these old bikes come back to life!
Hey Mustie - Great video series, I always learn something please keep them coming. I am 72 so have seen quite a number of hondas and this one was a gem. Glad to see that you brought it back!!!
Love how mellow you are while repairing. I fix stuff for a living and need to be remember at all times: be more mustie like.
Love older bikes(although not a rider) so today has been a binge watch of this bikes return to the road. Great vid's Darren, proper mechanicing and problem solving as always
I owned a 1972 cl450 for twenty years adjusting the valve clearance and points was a whole afternoon ordeal. Great job nice explanation. Beautiful repair. As always Mustie you are the best.

A fine piece of retro engineering, looks good, sounds fantastic! The work sure paid off! Well done from the UK.

Thanks for that video - it brought back so many memories.
I had a CB 250, in Ireland, back in the 70's and it was identical to this apart from the cc's. I did a lot of work on mine - including a rebuild after a fire - and the video is SO familiar! The scenes adjusting the tappets and the points really brought me back to cold evenings working on the bike in an unheated shed.
One problem I solved, almost by accident, was poor front brakes. I discovered that the fork oil hadn't been replaced in a long time so I drained the forks and refilled them with fresh oil. Hey presto! Front brakes were perfect!

I loved the bike though as it was my first "proper" bike :)
You just taught me about one of the tools I have left from my dad...
The Starett magnetic slotted screw holder tool...
Awesome, thank you
I love these videos of old bikes, Mustie. I picked one of these 350s up a few months ago. Easy to work on, fun to ride, and entertaining to see other peoples'.
Amazing video series, just watched the whole playlist, loved watching you bring it back to life! Nothing sweeter or more satisfying than seeing/hearing an old motor start back up for the first time in years!! I’m looking forward to getting my cb550 motor up and running.

Followed the entire video series on this bike. Very VERY well done. Bravo!
Loved this revival project. Had a 400 Honda Hawk back many years ago myself. I like the style, fix what needs fixing, let the patina remain as a reminder that this is in the middle of a life, not the beginning and not the end...
Loved how you save things that I would surrender and go get parts for!!! I am learning a lot from your channel. I am now relocated from my previous Texas home of many many decades, to the Philippines, with two bikes here and a few gas powered things. Here, the parts may as well be located on the moon, so rebuilding and refurbishing old parts is the ONLY way, not the cheap way. Like the trick on the muffler, I will be putting that to work quite soon on a Suzuki that needs it. Subscribed and watching...
I love it when problems fix themselves. Nice running bike and I learned a thing or two in the process. Thanks
Great video Mustie..Thanks for sharing your knowledge on the points. You are indeed Mr. Good wrench .
Man o' man, didn't think you were going to win this battle, but she is now running like a baby.. Those models make stunning bobbers. Enjoyed all the clips! Regards from South Africa!
Very helpful. You did a great job of filming, working, and explaining by yourself. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Just discovered this channel... this blokes great, really enjoy his laid back approach and I'm learning a lot
I was surprised you were able to un stick it and that it didn't smoke like a freight train. I've always assumed that once stuck, the cylinder wall would be in bad shape. Thanks for all your great vids. Somewhat addicted to the Mustie1 channel. Former kart racer and bike shop employee in me has huge respect for your patience and persistence. incredible.
The Honda CB350 was a fine little motorcycle. Bulletproof. You have a "classic" there.
I know what you mean. I had this exact bike for years. Requires regular maintenance all right. The motor is bulletproof. Ran good with KN filters and enriched needle settings. New sprockets and chain and tires transformed mine.
Funny, back in the early 70's I had a 1973 CL350 AND and 1963 Bug, and I used to work on Volkswagons and other German cars professionally, so your videos really take me back.
Was wondering about that other float good you got a new one. I'm learning loads from you thank's! You meet the nicest people on a Honda!
Cool video .I owned a 1970 cb 350 in 1970 they were good bikes , I got a ticket on it and the cop wrote " riding the rear wheel for half a block" on the comments section of the ticket . Those bikes pulled great wheelies.Your video brought back many memories.
Great instructional videos Mustie. You are extremely talented. I had a 1972 CL350 and thought that I was a bad ass!
Your skills & knowledge are seriously impressive. Hats off to you sir....
Back in the 70's when I was a teenager I had 3 Honda C.B. 350's...Always wanted the CL 350.....This video takes me back.
I had this same year bike but is was a scrambler. After almost 49 years when you took it out for a ride I could still recognize that engine sound.
I like how you are taking us along in the test drives now.
Awesome little bike. A buddy had one back in the day. They are bulletproof.
Bullet proof possibly. Idiot proof, no. Keep the oil clean and topped up.
They were a mainstay "motorsickle", honest to the bone, and spawned other brands to come strongly into that size class. I was a service manager/mechanic at a Suzuki/Kawasaki dealership and 350s - 450s were practical and useful machines. I miss the philosophy of the period, the industry has progressed into building machines that are more technically advanced and not near as useful or easy to care for and so very expensive.

This video was the most informative thing i could find on my engine. Thank you so much for creating+sharing.
That bike pulls real well through the gears. It reminds me of my 1977 Honda 750K I used to own.
Really brought back memories of my Honda 350 I bought in 1972 from a guy going in the service. I had just gotten out of the Navy myself and had the need for speed.
I love the sound of these old Hondas. Those were the days.
Always a pleasure to watch your videos, but this CB 350 resurrection series was a particular joy.

Good work Mustie!!! My first bike was a Honda 90, my second was a 350. This was my favourite bike. Enjoyed the video!!!
When I started my apprenticeship in 1972 we had CB 250 s in new and I used to build them from crates as they came with the front assembly off the bikes. We also had Greeves, Rudges, BSAs, Norton’s and a big fat Triton amongst many others. The first bike I built was a C15.
Sounds good!
That noise i would not even worry about right now also.
Hey Mustie1, Nice video on tuning up an old Honda, she runs out real nice!!! Good Job!!!
The part where he unlocked the cylinders was cool.
Great demo of how to set dual point setup. I recently took my 74 Polaris snowmobile to a shop to the get the same job done, costs me $250. Could of saved me some money if I had watched a video like yours. Congrats on getting her running!
This video is tops, thank you. The screwdriver that holds the screws was cool, the shirt was nifty, and the ride showed you did great work.
I have a 1972 cb350 with 8000 miles. I just love it. Good to see another one on the road again.
I owned 3 of these in the 70s, nice to see one running again, well done.
I had an early 70's (don't remember the exact year now) exactly like this one. Good video.
I get on to your videos and i can't stop watching very nice job.
Brings back memories big time, this was my first bike in high school. Second time watching.
Thanks for taking us along for the ride!
Awesome that is a nice old bike good job fixing it thanks for bringing me along take cate
Outstanding video as always. When I watch your videos I always learn something new, something interesting, something worth remembering... You are an amazing teacher and human being, if you were to teach professionally there would be a queue a mile long of people trying to get a place. Keep up the amazing work and keep the videos (tutorials) coming professor Mustie1!!!
great to see this classic Honda running.... when I was 19 well you can imagine the rest
Really appreciate that you show the missteps as well.
This is the real satisfying video. Nice work there!
Wow. Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. A college course on small engine repair FOR FREE! Thanks for your wonderful sharing of your wisdom and knowledge! I'm learning A LOT!
Oh I wish I had had this video in about 1990, lol. I had an SL350 Honda (the enduro version) and I had hell getting it to hit on both cylinders at the same time, I had no idea this is how I should have timed it. Learn something new every day! Thank you for the info!!
that's a keeper, that brings back memories. nothing more fun than those old bikes!!!
A Job well done. Love the older bikes from Honda. Thanks for the videos.
Sure brings back fond memories seeing this old girl! My second bike I owned. I traded it for a K750 and never looked back
This is giving me flash backs to my youth. Happy days! (except when it rained).
Hi from England . I have been watching your videos for the past few days and I am very impressed by your skills and mechanical talents .... I think this one is my favourite , here in England this motorcycle would be worth 2000 pounds ... these are collectors items .
thanks keith
Watching this video brings back so many memories
Takes me back to my youth. Mine used to give me electric shock if it rained, which it does quite a lot in Wales. Great find, it lives to ride again!
That's awesome.
I see the 1967 Mustang. :)
That is what I had in 1979 when I met my wife.
Good video.
Thanks
