I AQUIRED THIS NICE 1971 CL350 FROM A FRIEND THAT HAD IT IN HIS SHOP. IT HAD A STUCK ENGINE SO I TORE IT DOWN AND BORED THE CYLINDER 2ND OVER .050 INSTALLED NEW PISTONS RINGS AND CLIPS I ALSO LAPPED THE VALVES AND ADDED NEW GASKETS AND SEALS. WHILE THE ENGINE WAS OUT I PAINTED THE FRAME TOOK THE FRONT END APART ADDED NEW SEALS TO THE FORKS I ALSO POLISHED THE FORK TUBES, FRONT AND REAR BRAKES AND HUBS FUEL BOWL AND PETCOCK AS YOU CAN SEE IN PICS. ALL THE CHROME WAS CLEANED AND POLISHED, THE EXHAUST IS EXCELLENT WITH NO RUST THE GUARDS ARE ALSO VERY NICE. THE FRONT FENDER IS VERY GOOD AS IS THE HANDLE BARS AND BLINKERS THE REAR FENDER SHOWS VERY MINIMAL PITTING YOU HAVE TO LOOK VERY CLOSE TO FIND IT I WOULD SAY IT IS AN 8 AND THE REST OF THE CHROME IS A 9. THE PAINT WAS OK BUT DECIDED TO FRESHEN IT UP. IT WAS DONE IN URETHANE. IT SHOES VERY MINOR ORANGE PEEL ON THE TANK UNDER FLOURESCENT LIGHT BUT IS UNNOTICEABLE IN THE SUNSHINE THERE IS ALSO A COUPLE SPECS OF DIRT ON THE TANK. THE SEAT IS ORIGINAL WITH NO TEARS OR ISSUES I REPLACED THE SEAT STUDS WITH NEW ONES. NEW DRIVE CHAIN WAS ALSO PUT ON. EVERYTHING ON THE BIKE WORKS JUST AS IT SHOULD BLINKERS, LIGHTS ETC. CABLES ARE ALL IN NICE SHAPE. REPLACED THE SIDE COVER SCREWS IN STAINLESS, NEW SHIFT AND KICK START RUBBERS, AIR CLEANERS WERE GOOD. TANK WAS PROFESSIONALLY LINED WITH POR-15 I'M SURE THER IS MORE BUT YOU SHOULD GET THE IDEA. TIRES WERE NOT REPLACED BECAUSE EVERYONE HAS A PREFERENCE ON THOSE BESIDES THE OLD ONES ARE IN NICE SHAPE AND ARE NOT WEATHER CHECKED AND SEEM TO BE FINE. I RODE THE BIKE AFTER IT WAS DONE 25 MILES WITH NO ISSUES AND HAVE STARTED IT ONCE A WEEK SINCE. THIS IS A VERY NICE EXAMPLE OF AN EARLY CL 350. GOOD LUCK THANKS FOR LOOKING AND E-MAIL IF YOU HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS.
