1969 Honda CL350 Scrambler 

I'm putting it up for sale next week, so let me know if you're seriously interested.

Thank you. My wife absolutely LOVES this bike!

Do you still have it?

No.

What were you doing in Tokyo in 1968 by the way. I wanna talk to people who used to live in Japan in 50s, 60s and 70s.

I was assigned to North Camp Drake in 1967 to a Communications Sq and then transferred to Fuchu AS to the Communications Group. I was a 1lt at the time -- later promoted to Capt. I first lived on Grant Hts and then on Fuchu AS. Back then Tachikawa was still open and, of course Yokota. I returned to the U.S. in June 1969. North Camp Drake was an Army hospital at the time with casualties primarily from the war in Viet Nam.

Cade The hatchet man That’s good to hear. I’d love to see a video of it when your done!

toot tall That’s awesome!

@@MotoCafeRacer Consequently, these hold a soft spot in my heart, even though they're kinda small for me now. Even though I'm a large guy, the funnest bike I had was a 400 cc Yamaha twin. Not much of a highway bike though I could do so if needed, but around town, it was great fun. lightweight, quick enough, though the top end wasn't great, it was quick to get there. There's a guy here that has a 350 Honda FOUR I've been wanting, but I just don't have it in my meager budget to get it. I don't know why I even want it, it's really too small, but they're just so damn neat. A 750 Four would do me better or at least the 650 or 500, but they're not as fun as the little 350's or 450's that came a little later. I tried out a friend's 1100 Yamaha once, it was just scary, 80mph in second gear... I don't need that. My two faves for longer hauls are the Suzi 850 G (not the GL) and the old BMW boxer twins Smooth and powerful, but more sedate than the crotch rockets most favor today. I really don't like much of what is offered today, it's either a cafe racer piece of junk or a "cruiser" low rider styled after a friggin Harley. Can't go with either. I wind up having to get street legal dirt bikes then put street tires on them to get the leg room and straight up riding position I like.

Thank you!

Thanks. I noticed some familiar scenery in your S2EP2 - looked like Blacklick area.

Similar, but its on the opposite side of the city out toward Plain City area. Metro parks area.

OK gotcha. Try to get down to the Garage Brewed Motorcycle Show in Cincinnati January 26th if you can. My CB750 cafe will be on display.

Thank you. We are truly blessed!

She’s a beauty!

100% agree...i have a candy red 69 scrambler...beautiful machine!

Best of luck to you. Let me know when you have it all completed.

John Fadok Thanks for the comments. This one doesn’t have a tach, but I’m sure it would NOT be very happy trying to reach 14.5k! Very fun bike overall. It’ll stay in our stable for decades!

red line is 10,500 r.p.m.

8HdcpHack If she rides then you’re good. If she doesn’t then you might be in trouble. 😉

Thanks. My wife had a dream the other night that I was selling all the bikes, but she was begging me not to sell the scrambler. Man, I love that woman!!!

She sounds like a keeper! :D

For sure!

No sorry, it was on the bike when we bought it.

Thanks

dphotos I’m almost positive the tank is the original color. The previous owner removed the tack. Since your bike is an early model, the front fender reflector would be correct. Mine is slightly thus does not have one. At some point I may put an electronic ignition on this bike, who knows. The side bag was on it from the previous owner as well. Not sure where he got it.

The PO decided to do a tach delete. Kind of a bummer, but because it’s no longer original I’ve since swapped out the speedo for a later model one that has a trip odometer. With such a small tank you have to keep an eye on the mileage!

Not sure, but possibly.

It’s a fantastic little bike! Hope you got a good deal. What do you plan to do with yours?

It's a great bike!

It was on the bike when I bought it. I believe he said it was from Amazon.

From everything I’ve read these bikes vibrate a lot. The speedometer isn’t too hard to read, so it must be the camera. I’ll try adjusting the carbs this spring to see if I can smooth it out a bit.

E - Interesting idea, I’ve never heard of that. Where do you buy 17mm silicone rods?

@@MotoCafeRacer i cant find the ones i found on amazon anymore! agghhh. any rubber rods of the correct diameter will do.

It came with the bike. There are no markings on it to identify, sorry.

@@MotoCafeRacer thanks for the reply. I’m sure I can find one. Still working on getting carbs synched

I’ve also thought about trying the Bar Snake

It’s a custom tach delete

1911CockedandLocked Hard to say without seeing it, but most likely yes. It’s probably worth at least that in parts. If it has a title, it’s definitely worth more than that. There are so many variables including where you are located. Personally, I would grab it up and go for it!

Yes it does have the original title. Only thing the previous owner swapped out the original exhaust for a cb350 style exhaust.

1911CockedandLocked That decreases the value, but worth $400 with a title. I would buy it.

no the tach is missing...

Yep, and the speedo is wrong too. Since I can’t afford the correct set, I went ahead and bought a different used speedo with trip. This bike has such a small tank you REALLY have to pay attention to how many miles you’ve ridden.

I get most of my parts from Ebay

@@MotoCafeRacer quiero los dos carburadores originales. Los dos cilindros con sus pistones y anillos. Los dos brazos de biela y los tensores de la cadena con su cadena 1 juego de platinos un juego de condesadores

@@MotoCafeRacer quiero saber como seria el metodo de pago y el metodo de envio

I have no idea. I don't sell parts. Check Ebay.

No doubt!
