Hi Tony, Never actually saw an SL350 with a 21 inch front rim although some of the last of them did get these. K2s with the 19 inch rim ran a 3.25x19 tyre. The...

Hi Douglas, I bought my first two SL350s in NZ then moved to Australia in 78. Shortly afterward I trawled all the junkyards in Sydney and southern NSW for...
I think you'll find that the proper "trials" type tire is more readily available in 21" is the reason for some people making the change. Tom Martin ...
Hi everbody, When I first saw a picture of a Honda 350 SL Street Scrambler 1971,I said; "yes this is the bike that I want to have".. But afterwards I realise...
Hi,This is a tough one. The 1970 SL350 would be relatively easy to replicate as it was mostly a modified CB350. 1971 was a " cleansheet " design with very few...
Thanks Michael, I'll keep tracing sl350 but I'll explore also the opportunities for a replica. I'll keep the Group updated with photos about the "restauration"...
OK! The '72 SL350K2 I inherited has been butchered as far as the wiring goes. What I would like to know is what are the "ONLY" wires needed to get a spark and...

I don't know if anyone else proposed this, but I did and I got a few responses at that time. I agree, it IS kinda hard to pass up a free bike. That's how I...
I am in the process of completely restoring an SL350 K2. I had one in high school and always thought the fenders were brushed aluminum. I went to wet sand the...
