Cool My new scoot!!

Picked up this one along with a welding machine for $400, the seller must have been really desperate for dope cash. After a few hours of cleaning and fussing around the fuel tap/air box/carbs, it started on the first five kicks:

Of course the GPS didn't come with the bike.
I am not 100% sure of my CL350's capabilities, but having ridden it 150 some miles in the last few days.. it did smoke twice stopping at lights after sustained high rpm for few miles. Makes me think that I should open the engine up and perfomr some inspections. Never the less, I received thumbs up from some people who saw me riding.

OK, that brings back some memories. My first "real" bike was a '71 CL 350, but not the scrambler kit. Turquise w/black stripes. I'd love to have it back now...

Sweet! Wow 400 bucks. I'm finishing up a '73 CB350 with scrambler pipes and I paid $200 for it only mine looked like I brought it up from the bottom of a lake...Still it looks alot better now, only has 6500 miles of it. So cool I got the original title and a plate from 1978. Oh yeah it even runs too. Pics to come soon. By the way love the GPS LOL!!!

The CB had 2 low pipes on each side, the CL was the Scrambler as depicted, and the SL was their "enduro" with a different frame, tank, aluminum front fender, forks and black painted upswept pipes on either side. All were bullet proof except for the cam chain. I had a 72 SL I rode the heck out of and also wish I had back.
