Motorcycles: Honda Scrambler

by Crystal Canole

The Honda Scrambler was made in different sizes and offered in different years.  Models that featured the scrambler model were:

• 305
• 175
• 160
• 250
• 350

And there are probably many more. 

Most of them were made between 1965 - 1973. 

These bikes are famous for their pipes being up high.  It is known that the pipes would get very hot and sometimes burn your leg.

I am in love with these old bikes and would really like to acquire one.  I have a CB350 right now, and think a CL350 would make a great edition. 

I would also like the Triumph Scrambler.  It is a new bike that is inspired by the old 60's style Scramblers.  If I did not have a cruiser already, I would definitely consider purchasing this one.

It has a nice size engine with 865cc.  Being that it is a triumph, one may think that it would be highly priced.  This would be a wrong assumption as it is nicely priced at $8,699. 

CB 350 Restoration Project

October 19, 2010 by Crystal Canole
I recieved this bike two years ago for my birthday. It was just a rolling frame with a box of parts.  It was a mess when we got it.  I spent alot of time cleaning it up. 

The bike is beautiful and I cannot ride it anywhere without getting compliments.  There are some problems with the bike that need to be corrected though.  Now comes time for restoring.

I have been looking for original pipes for the bike for the last two years.  I managed to snag one left side pipe for only thirty dollars.  Thats right, only thirty dollars!  The pipe(after I cleaned it) looks like brand new almost with one small hole.  I started looking for the right side pipe and realized that I stole that pipe from that person.  The price of the pipe in near new condition is outrageous.  So I have began looking at JC Whitney. 

The seat also has a rip in it that needs to be replaced.  I have not managed to find a seat that looks better than mine yet though. 

The tank is garbage.  Its rusting out bad and needs to be replaced.  I am debating on buying any tank that looks good and just getting the whole bike repainted. 

I have added a lot of new original parts to the bike but really need these parts.  I have looked on eBay, junk yards, craigslist, etc. with no luck so far.  If you have the parts I need let me know and you will make me a very happy person.

updates to follow and pictures

Now there is a horrible backfire coming from the mufflers and a ticking sound.  Just replaced the gaskets with home made ones and might of messed up the points.
