I used POR15. It comes with a little sheet of mesh weave that you use to patch a pinhole. I did attempt to weld up the leak first, but kept burning through since the metal around the leak was very thin and I was using a inexpensive fluxcore mig setup. Eventually I was able to chase most of the pin holes down, I ground down the welds, then used the weave to patch the hole. I haven't had any issues with leaking, and the por15 hold up great. But just be sure to follow the instructions very closely. I did deviate a bit in that I used CLR to prep the surface as their equivalent in the kit comes in a small quantity. It's been over a year, and I've had no issues with flaking or anything like that, and definitely no problems with any leaks.

So I've been riding this thing around for a couple weeks and its a blast!
I need to re-jet. it's struggling to maintain low speeds. runs great when Im cruising.
I've been on the freeway at about 85mph. terrifying for a new rider through detroit.
I need a mirror and some tags lights to be completely legal.
I'm gonna upload more shots and a little blurb on show and shine later.

Yes sir, I am a fan.
You could always pick up some LED tag bolts. That's what I used on my 360.

back from the dead my CL350 is finally going to get the finishing touches is deserves. Updates will be trickling in until it's finished this winter. I've made this quick illustration of what is to be the final product. haven't finalized the exhaust detail but it will definitely be a high exhaust.
anyone had any experience with the gasket kits from dimecity?

taking care of details. I could never kick start my bike because my cbr rear sets were always in the way. removed the spring and inserted a magnet in the space were the spring would have sat. now the peg will flip up and stay in place while kick starting. going to get a quote on exhaust fabrication tomorrow.
