“People never seemed to notice that, by saving time, they were losing something else. No one cared to admit that life was becoming ever poorer, bleaker and more monotonous. The ones who felt this most keenly were the children, because no one had time for them any more. But time is life itself, and life resides in the human heart. And the more people saved, the less they had.” ― Michael Ende, Momo
Spending time with my family and friends outdoors is becoming ever more important to me. Here you will see videos of us enjoying outdoors, camping, riding our side by side, and fixing up our cargo trailer conversion, among other things.
@@ryanday3583 I’d like to but not sure my back is up for it currently. But if I do, look for my trailer or a blue and white crazy tw200 w fat tire upgrade.
@@bwiesman I will be on the look out them tw200 are awesome would like to have one. I will have the jeep in my profile picture riding a wr450 and a little green 125 Apollo hope to see you there.
I recently purchased the exact same bike, 1974 black. Mine was last on the road in 1984! I have original bill of sale from 1974, 1 owner. Good job! Dale Swineheart, DeKalb, IL
Gorgeous, and I'm no mechanic either, but you killed it ! EDIT : I bet you're a mechanic now. I love the Bruce story and the generations that cried seeing it.
I had a color green one when I was 17 or 18 it was my first bike that I coul use to travel I am from Tijuana I took it to Mazatlan, Los. Angeles and San Francisco many times many bikes later that will always be my favorite bike. Great video, gracias.
Great job! I am just finishing up my 1974 Honda CB350 Four, and I am at the point of painting the tank and covers. Could you please tell me what paint color you used, because that looks like a dead match to the Glory Blue Black Metallic. I haven't been able to source the original paint color yet. Thank you, Charles
Thanks! It’s the paint code from a 2014 tacoma they called metallic grey, I don’t have the truck anymore but that shouldn’t be hard to track down w those specs.
Nice job! I'd move the combustion air intake outside to burn cold air (cold air is more dense and ignites better) instead of burning up your warm air and sending it outside. That thing should easily keep you toasty in that little trailer!
Thanks for watching! Cold air intake is routed to the outside of the box. Air that’s blowing over the heating chamber is being recirculated so as not to pull a vacuum in the trailer.
The CB350F has less power than the two cylinder CB350, is more expensive, and is more difficult to maintain. Yet, I would prefer to have the CB350F. Great story on the restoration.
Oh Gawd! I miss that sound!!! I had 3 of these over the years. I bought my first one brand new in 1974, and rode the wheels off of it until 67,000+ miles when it would hardly run anymore. The second one I scored in Florida and pulled the original engine and replaced it with a 550 bottom end, and an 810 Powroll big-bore kit. It was an absolute beast of a sleeper, that would easily take down the formidable Kawasaki KZ900's of the day! The third one was meticulously rebuilt from a wreck I acquired in 2015, and outfitted with a few performance goodies, but basically kept the internals stock, with a cafe racer flair. It was my favorite, but I was forced to sell due to declining health conditions.😜 The little 350F was my absolute favorite of all the 4 cylinder Honda offerings from the 1970's!!!😄😍👍👍
Beautiful metal polishing...I've done a full restoration on a CB 450 and am now working on a '76 CB 400F. Its slow grinding work but deeply satisfying....Thanks for sharing the journey...
WAY back when I was 15 I actually had that exact same bike road it every day! It had a matching full black vetter fairing on it really fast bike! My first real vehicle. Thanks for sharing nice job!
Thank you! Maybe if I polish up something else I will. Basically just wet sand starting around 400 grit and go up to around 2000 or so. Then I got a kit from harbor freight for the bar polish and used a bench mounted drill press for rotation. www.harborfreight.com/14-piece-aluminum-polishing-kit-98707.html
It's always good to see what people would do differently after they have used something for a while. It was very helpful for me, especially your solar comments which I too suspected. I just special ordered a new Wells Cargo 6x12 x. 6.5 and plan to build it out so your opinion is very useful.
Thanks for watching and good luck on your build! I did everything I wanted to do from this video, real beds, dual axle, water tank, built in fridge. Just haven’t made a video.
Very nice job. Really should have went with the original color though, especially flake Matador red! Its less common than the Bacchus olive. Especially after so much time and using NOS parts.
Thanks for the comments! Yeah, sometimes I think I should’ve kept it red so I could say it’s all stock, but on the other hand this silver is my favorite color on autos. I guess if I never plan to sell it might as well make it the color I want lol.
What paint did you use im literally going crazy trying to figure out what i do because i want a clean look and painting plywood you and see the imperfections
@@miamiexclusive8598 just a cheap white and grey I got from our local Restore store, brand was Amazon. Don’t overthink it, most of my walls are covered up by bags, photos, etc
