With the engine back in the frame our CB350’s starting to look like an actual motorcycle again.

The is the sixth in a series on our 1970 Honda CB350 build project. Read Part I, Part II, Part III, Part IV and Part V for earlier stages of the project, and Part VII and Part VIII for the later installments. You can also watch video of our Honda running for the first time.

Tear-down always feels like progress; one minute you have a complete motorcycle and the next, pieces. You haven’t actually gotten much done, but it sure feels like it, especially compared to the long stretch between tear down and build up, where it seems to take forever for anything to happen.

Our project 1970 Honda CB350 has been trapped in that middle ground for months, with lots of big pieces waiting to be cleaned, fixed or replaced before any major forward motion could take place. Yet suddenly, it seems like we’ve turned a major corner as things start coming together and we tick off one job after another.
