I might as well start a thread now and document this one too.
I picked up a second '69 CL350 for my soon to be son-in-law, he's decided on a Cafe style bike with a WWII aircraft theme to go the opposite direction of my daughters resto/mod.
This one is a rough, missing a few bits (they are actually on my daughters CL... LOL) The tank is conveniently full of old fuel and water and looks like the bilge of an old ship inside.. He wants a Manx style tank so its not a big deal, although I'm going to cut out the bottom part of the tank and save it because I'll most likely end up grafting it into the new tank so it fits the frame properly.
The engine turns over but has been sitting for some time and looks as of someone tried to polish the side covers with an angle grinder.. It will get torn down, get new pistons and a valve job etc. The color scheme for the engine will be similar to some WWII radial engines I've seen with gray, black and natural aluminum.
The frame and suspension haven't really been discussed yet, I'm thinking that we will stay with the spoke wheels as they are in great shape. We may do something different with the front forks.
