Video Description

You can also turn on subtitles for information on each repair throughout the video. Part 2 - https://youtu.be/JnvfhGBgjh4 This is 1971 Honda CB350. I bought it in non-running condition, and although I was told it ran and rode 3 years ago, the decades-old tires say otherwise. It seems like this bike has been through many hands, as It once got custom pin-striping, then someone tried to give it the "cafe-racer" look, and now it's just in various pieces. So, I gathered up those pieces and got started putting this bike back on the road.
