You maybe could do 1/2 at a time..
or you could just work on smaller bikes 
Hah! I thought thats what I was doing...
Anyways, some progress is better than none..right?
Around, around, the engine block goes - It is cleaning up quite well! Will have some pictures to show you all soon. Happy with how this is coming out though! Next I will try to pressure wash it to get the areas I couldn't reach with the parts cleaner. I'd try to clean them up just in the sink but I don't have one big enough!!
The only spot I think I made a mistake on was here:
I left this roller bearing and the one opposite it in place. They are removable with just those two circlips. Probably not wise to have them sitting in the solvent? You tell me.
In between rotations of the crank case I decided to tackle something, anything, else. I went over to my overwhelming pile of parts and picked these two out.
Plan of attack was 220 grit sandpaper then red scotchbrite for a majority of the work, then polish up with the higher grit gray scotchbrite. They were already buggered so I wasn't worried about sanding the fork tubes. If it got better: great, if not: they were in need of replacement anyway.
The bottom portion of the forks began to clean up well.
And much to my surprise so did the tops! I will keep working it but I think this is a good direction. I will at least be able to rebuild the bike with these forks. Should they just keep chewing through fork seals well then I'll know it's time to replace. That was all for last night!
As for the CL350, I ordered the Pamco ignition and will be installing that in the new year. Will try 24mm on the floats to see if that helps with the overly rich mixture and seepage out the float bowls.
Now don't get me started on the other projects....all this just to remove the oil pan!
