I don't know about '70's and later CL's but my '68 is a 19" front so I'll bet the CL fender would fit. The 68-69 CL 450's used a fender with the mounting braces.66Sprint said:I believe the problem would be the curvature... The 350 one is designed to fit an 18" wheel, the 450 has a 19 incher.... I would bet the height from axle of the mount points on the fork legs is a bit different, but perhaps some members would measure their forks for you.... I have a set of CB (disc type)360 sliders I can measure if it will help.... Steve
Okay, I've got a 74' CL450K6 and I'll take some measurments soon as I can. Been busy getting my Dad settled in at an Assisted Living Home. Now, could I have some detail again about what measurements are needed? From the bolt holes to where?66Sprint said:I'm sure someone here has a CL450, and someone else has a 350...measurements of the braces might tell.....
.....and I've got a '68 CL350 front fender laying on the garage floor as we speak. What measurements do you need? Bolt hold distance? 1/2 way between bolt hole and top of fender?bill440cars said:Okay, I've got a 74' CL450K6 and I'll take some measurments soon as I can.

Your welcome. Outside to Outside is 4".johnnyc14 said:Thanks Matt, those measurements are the same as my 450 fender. Could you also measure the width from the outside of 1 mounting ear to the other?
Here is the same picture but inverted for clarity. The total distance to the outside of the fender is 6.5" from the front hole to the center of the fender (eyeballed) where the rivets are.66Sprint said:Mike, Thank-you.... BUT we needed the measurement from the holes to the outside of the arc (eyeballed) at the center of the fender (looking straight down at the fender lying on its side)...You measured to the inside of the arc of the fender, but on the correct line vector....
HOWEVER, the pic does show the two mount holes as level or evenly spaced from the axle, and they are offset on the CB fork legs..... Obviously, this particular fender came off an externally sprung fork (pre-disc type)....The later CL's fenders might have the correct offset mount loops....
I see no reason so far it could not be made to work, but a sub-bracket or extra drilled hole might be required.... Or, one presumably could just remove the mount rivets, and bolt the actual fender part on the CB equivalent support loop/bracket....
Thanks Mike, see I got it right this time!MNellis said:Your welcome. Outside to Outside is 4".johnnyc14 said:Thanks Matt, those measurements are the same as my 450 fender. Could you also measure the width from the outside of 1 mounting ear to the other?
It's Mike btw.![]()
Thanks Steve, that's a good idea. I might buy the 350 fender and just drill out the rivets and use machine screws to attach it to my 450 bracket.66Sprint said:Mike, Thank-you....
