Honda 350 and 450 twins are rare and expensive. Too bad Zongshen isn't cloning that 350 twin engine.


The 350 twin was a direct lineage of the original Honda 150 and Honda Dream 160 and other...

large knob for idle adjustment

This is for the PE28 (Keihin clones). There must be one for the Mikuni clones:

Yup! Upper frame mounting point. That mount is used on the dual sports. Attached to the frame on Templars, KPX and such. I think the notch is mainly to save weight? On mine, plates on each side are...

The standard Templar is a bargain for a new rider. The 172-FMM 5 speed is a nice engine, and it has an electric starter, AND a kick starter. The M is a pretty good deal as well. Either one will do....

A photo would help, but these engines are installed in various applications, includine dirtbikes, road bikes, ATV, UTV, and who knows what else. Alternative mounting positions can be recruited.

Did you reconnect those severed wires. It sure looks repairable. The copper sensor pads seem OK. Rewire, cleanup and reinstall should restore the gear position indicator. :tup:

Isn't AJ1 the outfit that has been selling Chinese engines? Looks like lots of good design choices and components. I've been thinking about the TM38 for a while now. This bike looks good.
