Topic: CL-160 Scrambler restoration progress, questions

[gibsonjd]

Team, I just began a CL160 restoration project, have many questions, and am looking for experience and suggestions. The bike is mostly complete, but has over 15000 miles, so it's in rough shape and will take some TLC to get it back on the road. This is my first restore.

First, besides Ebay, does anyone have a source for parts at a reasonable price?

Second, the bike has a black frame and green tank, side covers that look like factory paint. From what I can find, it should have a black frame and Silver tank and side panels.  Any thoughts on why this would be?

Any thoughts, suggestions, advice or encouragement would be appreciated

Honda Twins is a good bet:

Like here, they have parts for sale and parts wanted sections.

I'm not sure about the colors, but I suspect it's a repaint. CBs were white, red, black and blue IIRC, but not sure if there was a green for CLs.
