Attention collectors, new riders and seasoned bikers; There have been a few SL350K1s on ebay lately...This is the one you want! For your consideration is a 1971 Honda SL350K1. This is arguably Honda’s first purpose built off road bike, fitted with Honda’s venerable 350 twin engine. This bike is in Fabulous Condition both mechanically and cosmetically. It has just undergone a meticulous restoration/reconditioning. The engine has been disassembled down to the crank. Engine components have been checked and are in excellent condition, well within factory specifications. The top end has been expertly rebuilt and reassembled with all new OEM Honda seals and gaskets. Since restoration, this SL has logged about 300 miles in the last few weeks and is in exceptional working condition. It’s not very often something this nice comes around so don’t miss out on your opportunity to own this wonderful SL350 just in time for the summer. Ride it cross country, show it or just sit it in your living room to admire it. She's ready for anything you are! I’ve been restoring Honda 350 twins exclusively for more than a decade. I build a couple per year. This SL350 is one of the best. Check my feedback. You won’t be disappointed! Everything works as new including all electrics, even the stock Honda charging system charges perfectly (13.2volts at idle and 14.8 above 3,000 RPMs) Bike is fully serviced and ready to ride anywhere.

This is the Speedometer that was on the bike when I acquired it. The mileage matches the title so either the speedometer was changed early in it's life or Honda may have had some leftover K0 gauges that it installed at the factory (which it sometimes did in that era). The condition of the engine and transmission indicate to me that this is in fact a very low mileage bike.The majority of the chrome pieces on the bike were pitted beyond my liking so I sand blasted them all and treated them to a dual stage powder coating. The base layer powder coat is Silver with a Clear powder top coat which gives the look of a Satin Nickle finish. The following parts received this treatment: handlebars, headlight bezel, tail light bracket, handlebar cable guide, both rims, rear fender mount bracket, rear brake pedal. I think the pictures show the exceptional condition accurately. The bike is available for inspection by appointment. Please contact me via email to schedule.
