ive had an olive green 350g. Although about 20 years ago. Brakes worked pretty good. Maybe a caliper change? or lines if they are old. I also have a gold 71 with a drum front that works just fine too I have nor have I ever had a modern bike to reference any of my options against. I did...

My 69 cb750 stops great. I believe Honda was first of the Japanese with disc and I believe used the same design on all cb/cl bikes without real change through all of production.

Looking good! Diggin that blue.

Probably a production reason. Mine works just fine. Not significantly better or worse than the other bikes of the time period I’ve owned. *not an expert.

We currently have a 32ft trailer that family stays in when visiting, but a 24ft Yurt is on our list of things to build over the next few years and ditch the trailer. They are quite impressive.

I have never used that one. I typically use the formula 27 and the ultra light. And I like you, often know what needs to be done and yet… I soldier on in the wrong direction haha. I have a particularly hard time with dry times. I’m way impatient, mess with it too soon in the name of...

If you’re using actual bondo, I find evercoat to be a much better product. It costs more, buts it much better to play with. I use it everyday.

That’s pretty awesome. Based off the chrome headlight ears and no fork gators… 70. Very cool he still has it. I feel there are very few things left that are made today that are worth keeping 50+ years.

I don’t catch this. Fantastic!!!

First shop - $375 to bore both cylinders! Second shop $270 - still ouch! Unless I’m shipping that’s all I got for options. Went with second shop. Pistons are on order. Cruzininage said it should be a few days. Machine shop quoted 3 day turn around. In the meantime, tank is soaking in...
