A fellow(Teddy)who was in a small(my first apt.)group in Milford,Ct. which I rode w/ occasionally after I first got my license had a 71' CL350K1 also;an orange one w/ the same shape decal on the tank.
I prefer the blue one  8) 8)

I’ve had it up on the hoist checking it over.

It needs a bit of love (not too much). But it makes me smile & chuckle when I see something like this.

I did ride it for 10 minutes this arvo around the neigbor hood & enjoyed every second.

Oil change revealed a bit more sparkling in the old oil than I would have liked to see.

Most likely the cam chain is flopping around in the tunnel.
It's almost guaranteed the tensioner rollers, especially the upper one, need looked at.

Excellent...that was my high school era. Those 350's were nice. Parents would only let me get a new CL175, but I did restore a 73 CB350 a few years ago. Rode it for a month and found i had been spoiled on my 750's and sold it. Last I heard it went from WI to CA. Congrats on a nice score!

I’ll have to do some investigating.

They do look great! Can you remove the left side cover on the CL175? On this CL200 I had, the exhaust had to come off to remove the cover! Fortunately there was nothing under it that needed to be looked at regularly!

It’s the same as the CL200. The exhaust needs to come off before the side cover can.

It's the same with the early CL350's. I think in '72 they changed the side cover design so you could just barely get it off without pulling the exhaust, if you were careful.

Nice bike, Scott! I’ve rarely seen one so intact. Mine was missing the front exhaust shields.

A mate & I did a day trip to Dubbo to grab this thing for a song last year.

A bit of fiddling to get it sorted & now ready for my first proper ride.

Lucky enough to have a CL175 too.

The CL175 was the first bike I ever rode. My dad bought one for my mom to ride, she tried a bit in the yard and even though she grew up on stick shift cars she never did get the hang of a motorcycle clutch. So I ended up riding it around the 40 acres behind us quite a bit. Then when I aged to 16 I got my temps one summer and rode it and then my actual endorsement the next summer. I swear it would run 80mph flat out, and get 80 mpg as well.
