The Honda XL (and other vintage singles) thread!

[dorkpunch]

Yes. I'm addicted to the XL's. So sue me. Seems like I'm always going back through pages of threads to find a bit of information to (re)share with another inmate. SO- I'm going to make a "Bike Specific" index. Seems to have worked well in Thumpers!

For now, I'm going to compile threads on info, links, how-to's, etc on all of the older Honda Singles here. As (if) it grows, I may pare that down to be a little more bike specific and copy Meats format for Thread Indexes.

***THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS!***

FOR NOW:



How To's:

How to: Cheap muffler for the Sideport 350's:

How to: Fork Seals

How to: Engine Removal/Installation and Head Removal/Installation

How to: Valve Stem Seal Replacement

How to: Troubleshooting spark issues

How to: Make your own side covers

How to: Reviving an old dead bike. (new)
