Hey, Kit and I are 2 chicks with CL350s. Nice to have you here. ;D You can get some good info at either twin forum. Hondatwins.com and Hondatwins.net

One has more posting but they are both good places to ask questions. Nice bike.

You can also put a thread in the "other bikes" part of this forum. these guys and gals have been great about answering questions and helping out on our CLs. Just make sure you put the kind of bike you have in the topic title so you get the right hits and more people reading.  :)

I'm fairly close if you need hands on help/guidance.

But the Honda twins forum should be your best bet!!

I just wanted to stop in and say, "Wow, that is a nice-looking bike."

I love that high-rise twin-exhaust setup on those twins.

Thanks.  And ya, It runs great.  A little problem with the carbs but that will be fixed by the end of the week.  I don't know whats next... I have a lot of ideas.  And Im always open to suggestions or ideas. 

I think my car has taken an indefinite backseat to this bike.  So thats where the extra time and money is being spent.
