I think the silicon route will eventually give you grief. Take a look at
http://www.ohiocycle.com/
They ain't cheap, but they probably have what you need for your Honda.
I bought two Honda 360's once, along with a '71 Ambo, Laverda SF1, a
fold up Benelli mini bike and a snowblower for $750 once from a divorcee
cleaning out her garage. All were in terrible condition and partially
disassembled with lots of parts missing.
I restored the Ambo and Laverda, and sold the Hondas without doing a
thing to them a few years later for what I paid for everything in the
first place. Best deal I ever made, and it put me on the path to
enlightenment and Moto Guzzi. That's what got me started making tank and
fendertip decals since I wasn't able to find a source for the correct
ones for loopframes. Over the years I've sold enough decals to make lots
of people happy and actually pay for the restoration of the Ambo, which
makes me happy.

Sorry this isn't a Loop question, but with the amazing amounts of knowledge here, I just can't resist. My son and I are rebuilding the carbs on his 1974 Honda CB360 and found a tiny tear in the rubber diaphragm, has anyone here ever tried to use a little silicone to repair one of these? I have no idea where to get a new one, so I'd like to repair this one, if possible. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Bill
