1970 Honda CL

Clear

VINTAGE ORIGINAL CANDY GOLD HONDA 1970 KO SL350 MOTOSPORT . THIS IS AN EXTREMELY ORIGINAL BIKE WITH 6577 MILES. I HAD PURCHASED THIS BIKE FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNERS SON WHO HAD IT STORED IN THE BASEMENT FOR SEVERAL YEARS,THIS BIKE IS VERY COMPLETE IT WAS LAST PLATED FOR THE STREET TO RIDE IN THE LATE 1980s .THE ONLY ITEM I CAN FIND MISSING ON THE BIKE IS THE LEFT SIDE MUFFLER HEAT SHIELD, EVERYTHING ELSE LOOKS TO BE THERE INCLUDING THE WORKING ELECTRIC START, ORIGINAL HONDA KEY, TOOL KIT STILL IN THE BAG,SKID PLATE, FRONT FORK LOCK, ACCESSORY BUDDY SEAT, MIRRORS,CHAIN GUARD, REAR FOOT PEGS, STEERING DAMPENER, BOTH ORIGINAL SIDE COVERS WITH ALL GOOD MOUNTING TABS GOOD SOFT RUBBER INSERTS ( VERY HARD TO FIND) ... ALL ORIGINAL EXHAUST WHICH IS IN EXTREMELY NICE CONDITION I HAVE STRIPPED ( NOT BLASTED ) THE COMPLETE EXHAUST AND PAINTED IT , ORIGINAL SEAT IS SOFT AND DOES NOT HAVE ANY RIPS OR TARES AND IS IN GREAT SHAPE THERE IS A INDENT ON THE TOP OF IT WHERE SOMETHING WAS SAT ON IT, THE BUDDY SEAT HAS NO RIPS OR TARES THERE IS SOME WARE ON THE SIDES, THE TIRES ARE WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE ORIGINAL " DUNLOP TRIALS UNIVERSAL " FRONT IS 3.25-19 REAR 4.00-18 THE WARE ON THE TIRES KNOBE NOT EVEN WITH THE FRONT SECTION OF EACH KNOB BEING HIGHER.THE GAS TANK IS REAL NICE ON THE INSIDE IT DOES HAVE SOME MINOR DINGS ON THE EXTERIOR..THE FENDERS AND FENDER MOUNT ARE NICE AND STRAIGHT WITH MINOR SCRATCHES..THE THE HEADLIGHT WORKS ON BOTH HI AND LOW BEAM..THE TAIL LIGHT ALSO WORKS ALONG WITH THE THE LIGHTS ON THE GAGE'S..THE KEY FEELS TIGHT BUT NEEDS TO BE WIGGLED TO MAKE PROPER POSITION. THE CHROME IS VERY NICE IN AREAS SUCH AS THE FORK TUBES AND HEADLIGHT AREA AND FAIR IN OTHER AREAS SUCH AS THE WHEELS ETC. THE CHROME ON THE HANDLEBARS AND MIRROR STEMS IS WOULD BE THE WORT'S ON THE BIKE.THOUGH THE BIKE DOES START RIGHT UP AND RUN WITH NO ABNORMAL INTERNAL NOISE . THE PREVIOUS OWNER ONLY SOLD THE BIKE DUE TO AN ECONOMIC SITUATION WHEN I PURCHASED THERE WAS NO BATTERY AND IT WAS OBVIOUS THE POINTS NEEDED WORK AND THE CARBURETORS WOULD NEED CLEANING.. THE MOTOR DID TURN OVER WELL SO I CLEANED THE POINTS AND CARBURETORS OUT BUT DID NOT REBUILD THEM DURING THIS TIME I DAMAGED THE THROTTLE CABLE SO I DID REPLACE IT WITH A " NOS ALL ORIGINAL HONDA THROTTLE CABLE ". ONCE THE POINTS AND CARBURETORS WERE CLEANED , NEW OIL AND THE NEW BATTERY WAS INSTALLED THE BIKE STARTED RIGHT UP.ONCE THE BIKE WAS RUNNING IT WAS NOTICED THE LEFT SIDE CYLINDER WAS NOT RUNNING RIGHT , I HAD THIS LOOKED AT AND IT IS DETERMINED THAT SINCE THERE IS NOT SMOKE COMING FROM THAT CYLINDER THE RINGS ARE MOST LIKELY OK AND IT IS THOUGHT THAT WHILE IN STORAGE ONE OF THE VALVES THAT WERE IN THE OPEN POSITION PROBABLY DEVELOPED SOME BUILD UP AND IS NOT SEATING WELL WHEN CLOSING.WELL VALVE WORK IS NOT SOMETHING I DO, SO IN A NUT SHELL TO BE A GOOD RUNNING BIKE I WOULD SAY YOU SHOULD REPLACE THE POINTS, REBUILD THE CARBURETORS AND PROPERLY ADJUST THE NEW THROTTLE CABLE AND CLEAN OR LAP THE VALVES. I HAVE POLISHED THE MOTOR SIDE CASES BUT THERE ARE SOME AREAS THAT HAVE NON BEEN DONE YET.THIS BIKE IS ALMOST 40 YEARS OLD AND IS A REAL NICE ORIGINAL BUT IS NOT IN MINT CONDITION.. THIS IS A VERY RARE YEAR SL350 AND HARD TO FIND IN SUCH ORIGINAL CONDITION , I THINK WITH A LITTLE WORK YOU COULD HAVE A NICE ORIGINAL SURVIVOR BIKE TO RIDE OR YOU COULD RESTORE IT TO NEW CONDITION.
