    1986 Honda CB350 SG Rebuild

    Following on from P4ddys Slabside rebuild, I've been doing the same with my old honda. So this is what has happened so far.

    AS Promised. Picking up the frame this weekend from the powered coaters! Ive got an old 86 SG that the engine is knackard and was rusting away. I spent £100s on new downpipes, hoses, battery grips and stainless bolts so I thought I would completely strip it down and rebuild as best I can. Its the 1st time Ive done a full rebuild like this, but as it was a simple bike I thoought I start with it. I have had my R6 and R1 down to frame and engine, but never fully stripped.

    So this is what it will be similar too. Not identical but similar. I spent £65 on an ebay auction for engine, wheels tyres and lots of bits i needed to get it working nice and looking ok.

    [IMG]http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r232/stuartkeith/DSC_0068_zpsebba9baa.jpg[/IMG]

    Brake discs after 1st soak in rust remover. I think one is warped will need to check on a sheet of glass.

    [IMG]http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r232/stuartkeith/DSC_0063_zpsba00ec42.jpg[/IMG]

    The brake calliper after primed and 2 light coats. Need to rub down and do another couple. And some badly rusted springs cleaned and sprayed.

    [IMG]http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r232/stuartkeith/DSC_0066_zpsff8fbb29.jpg[/IMG]

    And axles in soak to remove rust.
    [IMG]http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r232/stuartkeith/DSC_0067_zps68188b95.jpg[/IMG]

    Here a nut that was rusty, treated in solution and then dremell with polish head and auto sol. The axels worse on some then start, if u forget and leave in too long it stops removing rust I found.

      A little bit more done over the last few days. Not much, as I have been dealing with my mums death. :(

      Just rubbed down the swing arm and sprayed the 1st coat of silver onto it. Noticed some grazing so will leave till tomorrow and sand them areas down.

      Also started on the tank as well Got the electric sander and 150grit paper out to get the stickers off and prep. Been putting some auto glym glue and tar remover over the residue to break the adhesive down.

          Spent a few hrs cleaning a set of carbs yesterday. Stripped apart and boiled in lemon juice and distilled water.

            OK some more bits. I have repaired the cracked seat cowl and made a new mount for the front left. I made it from a piece of broken cowl that was attached to my spare frame.

              Interesting alternative to an ultrasonic bath. Not the usual kind of bike someone wishes to restore either. Looking forward to see how this all goes. I've just sold my 73 fizzy 'non runner & rusty' & parts for £1k (only owed me £120 :) ) Now i'm trying to decide which Arai I'm getting. Sorry to hear about your mum to.
              Yes the big sigpic is coming back
