Looks like a stock one that has been powder coated silver/grey.

CL450 very nice bike

We don't often see the CL models in such good condition or still road registered so this is a little hummer, nice chrome and all complete, seat needs a redo but aprt from that she's a cracker.

I was just looking at those guys on "American Pickers" purchasing a similar Barn Find to that exact bike.I guess it's a real work of Art.

They said in the show that they paid $21K...that's probably a steal for that one.
The woman & her husband had history w/ it...she didn't want to part w/ it even though it was in the barn for God knows how long,a Real prize possession of theirs. Who know's what other Sweet barn finds are just waiting to be found in N.Carolina & many other places if only we're persistent and patient enough ;)..;I like the CB550K1 that was just posted from N.Carolina..the green one that I noticed yesterday I think;that's what I'll be patiently hoping for when the time comes.  ;D

Saw that on "Pickers" last night. Pretty cool!!! He originally built it for side car use. Below is a link with an article written by Von Dutch!

That's too nice of a restored Triumph Cub to put all that "track" stuff on it..I imagine he's only selling the tracks and using the Triumph to advertise them..hopefully.
