Re: 71 CL350 Cafe Time for the build thread![It's Alive!]
I haven't really researched suspension techniques like I want, but I wonder if it doesn't also benefit shortened forks. I have heard in the past on different mc forums that shortened wheelbases make a bike prone to the "wobble of death". I dig the mod anyway! 8) BTW, where did that seat pan/cowl come from? Very nice piece.

The damper is used for shorter WB bikes and bikes with a steep rake, it is to reduce speed wobble. If you have a raked out fork, no need for a damper, your trail will create a damper effect! But if you have a raked out forks, your mod list most likely would not include a damper, it will not add the coolness like a billet wheel! 8)

Same palce you find everthing else.....the internet!
Be carefull what you get as there are a few different designs for different applications.
The long ones are the easiest as universal dampers to mount to vintage bikes.

Real bikes are built in garages.

Alright, here it is. Some video of the bike. Sorry it's a little long. I did a little walk through before firing it up. Enjoy.

Thanks guys. Yes indeed I do feel like Dr. Frankenstein. The front tire is a 110/90-18. Got it sorted out a little more since the video. Turns out my right throttle cable was hung up a little. That's why the right side was firing weird. Can't wait to rip her down the street. I'll get more video of that.

It's my first complete build. Done plenty of modifying, tweaking, and general mechanic work. The paint is Rustoleum Hammered Finish. I like the bit of industrial texture that it gave the bike. Plus I wanted to do something different.
