Hello

Hello everbody new to the forum, I have a couple of twins 75 CL360 thats my toy to modify, 67 CL 77 will always be kept original. Later on down the road I will buy another bigger bike for a more serious long distance road bike. I had a new 71 K1 750 yrs ago a new 82 CB900C, biggest bike was a new 79 kawasaki KZ1300 I have a lot experience turning wrenches on cars, 18 wheeler trucks, but very little on motorcycles, I'm in the thought process of souping up the 360, already lengthened the rear swingarm, added some longer travel progressive shocks, cheap but better then what came stock, anyway looking forward to some help and good idea's.

Hello kslrr

I could see myself hunting up one of the K series 750s there seems to be tons of parts for them and its big enough for a road bike. My old water cooled Kawasaki had a lot of power
good touring bike but it was a complete pig 690 pounds not really much for looks but all i was intersted in back then was power and i liked the fact it was a six water cooled. one bike i have always liked the look of is the XS1 650. I see you have a CL175 as a kid i had a CL160 i still remember a friend of mine back in ancient times lol he showed up with a cl175 let me ride it was amazing how much difference the 5 speed made, Thats kind of the reason i wanted the 6 speed on my CL360, tiney engine should have close gear spacing was my thought.
    I don't know squat about computers, don't have a digital camera so i doubt there will be any pictures. I tried to put something on my profile but so far failed lol, could not find a place to click it in as done.
