I keep hoping someone will teach some of these 'Caf'e customizers'(Not)to see the value in the original frames and just Caf'e the other parts like the fenders,etc. and stop chopping-up/bobbing the tail sections off the frames.They can be put back to original by the next owner if they would please keep the frames intact.

100% agree. The chopper craze of the 70's did that to Harley's. Now we're seeing it with Japanese bikes.

A Sawzall should be a 'license to carry' type of weapon;at least when using a hand hacksaw,it takes longer,and they may change their mind in mid-cut..

There's actually 3 different CL tanks, too. The 1968-69 2-tone type, the 1970-71 (my personal favorite) version and the last one 1972-73, which were sold longside the CB/CL360 twins (and sold better). I used to race my 1970 CL350 against the "new" CL360 guys, could whip them in stoplight contests by 3rd gear @10,000 RPM (tach went 10,500). The cams got tamer in the 1972 versions of the 350 twins, redlining at 9600 instead. Those bikes were bulletproof.
