1969 Honda CL

Clear

This is a beautiful early 1969 Honda CL350 (hence the 68 style paint on tank). All original right down to the tires. Starts, runs and rides like new.The paint, seat, chrome, etc is in beautiful condition.A unique story behind this bike. I bought it from the original owner.It had been stored for about 20 years in his garage.He was in the Peace Corps with a friend in Columbia. When their stint was over they wanted to do something exciting so they rode a bus to Panama and each bought a new CL350. His friend a blue one and he this red one.They then proceeded to ride them 4,000 miles from Panama to Los Angeles. From there they had them shipped to Minnesota.This is why the speedometer is in kilometers. It also still has the 1969 Panama registration on the right headlight ear.It shows 17,560 kilometers which equates to 10,911 miles. New parts installed are.Plugspointscondenseroilbatteryboth tire tubesrebuilt petcock,carburetorsfuel linesetc.Clear Mn. title in my name. Just rode it again yesterday. It starts right up and idles great.Runs and shifts smoothly. No leaks. No smoke. Engine runs quiet.Being a 45 year old bike it is not 100% perfect but is is very close.You will not be disappointed.The few minor flaws are the left headlight ear has some small dings, the headlight trim ring has a scuff on it and the tach is "jumpy" but getting better the more it's ridden.With that said everything else on the bike is very straight (gas tank, bars, headlight, exhaust, side covers, etc, etc).And yes, the paint is original.Comes with the original owners manual and tool kit.I also have 4 black and white pictures of the bike taken in 1973 that I got from the original owner.Clear Mn. title in my name. I will assist in preparing the bike for shipping but all costs and scheduling is up to the buyer.
