What a pissa that bike is cool, only other thing is, I don't like pod air filters on dirt bikes please make air box in keeping with the whole consept of the bike, maybe a old Holden air filter set up if it will fit in there somehow. or weld somthing up with som rust scrap plate.

Thanks for  that Roger its hard to find out about that bike. You would think with the interest in the CB350s  that bike would be all over the internet. Jimson

I fully realise that this is a different model and not quite what you're doing Garry but I think it's as cool as penguin piss anyway. It's for sale on vft.org.

Love this CL has been my favourite pre 65 machine since I laid eyes on it.

I love Honda twins almost as much as I love Maicos and metal tank Yamahas. That's why I'm looking forward to building the little 1962 Tom Cates C77 305 Honda flat tracker frame I've got in the shed. Here's my frame and a bike almost exactly the same as mine will be....................

Not sure how that front end works but who cares.
                                                                     

[mainline]

Not sure how that front end works but who cares.
                                                                     

I reckon that front end would work just fine.

[Slakewell]

That front end looks like the motorboat noise one?

[Simo63]

Not sure how that front end works but who cares.
                                                                     

I think the front and rear end of that could do with a tune up .. I'd love to be able to take it for a ride to do exactly that 

[jimson]

There is some nice examples. I am  far from that at this point in time but will be happy when I see in front of me  What I see in my head    While I,m here  tyre choice  front 19 x 3.00 &  rear  18 x 4.50.  Are these tyre size to big for Hannibal. What brand for the oldschool look should I go for. Thanks jimson
