Yes they suit the style nicely, not bad for $40. Just had to make a bracket from some angle iron I had laying around.

Oh, yeah...nice job!
For in-town commuting, jumping on-off freeways and sliding thru parking lots, it is REAL hard to beat the CB/CL350 twin. :D
See SOHC4shop.com for info about the gadgets I make for these bikes.

After a month of riding with the eBay baffle I will say volume level is great, tone is deeper with no high pitched loud absurdity. No more ringing ears after commuting with ear plugs as with the factory Delkevic baffle.

Performance is unchanged at lower speed and RPM, though I do notice appreciably less power at 85+ MPH highway. Acceleration is slower, tucking down to the tank makes a more significant change in speed and acceleration at those speeds. This bike is geared at 18/48.

I think a longer straight through baffle with packing would perform better and keep decibels reasonable. I may try that eventually.

If it sounds like I know what I'm talking about, it's because I cut and pasted from someone else.

Will order a set for the 350 twin as well.
