If you intend on riding the CL350 you should notice this test on the page you linked to:
You can do what you want, but Antigravity isn't recommending this battery for your application.
Hey man, I used this battery for an SR250 and for a DT400 and it worked fine. I just used the kick starter to start them every time and the batteries performed really well. And I think the CL350 you have has a kick start too? Cranking an engine requires an enormous amount of juice and this little 4cell battery will not be able to crank for very long. Then once the voltage drops below 10V, it is fecked. Also worth mentioning that the SR250 has a reasonably modern charging/electrical system and the DT400 I converted to a modern 12V system. I think this helps.
I also used the 8cell version: http://shop.antigravitybatteries.com/antigravity-batteries-ag801/
On my Honda xl600v and that works awesome - electric start and all. Its got an awesome amount of umph. It you can spare the space/cost, you might consider this one instead?

My apologies, i was referring to their 4cell battery, the AG401. But I still think you'd be ok with the SC-1. I mean, wouldnt it be just as good, if not better than running a large capacitor like some people convert their kickstart bikes to run?
The AG401 is a much better bet than the SC-1.
I'd go with the eight cell version if you're planning on using the electric starter very much or if you do a lot of stop-and-go traffic kind of riding.
The problem with the SC-1 is that it isn't designed for power capacity, it's designed for power discharge. It's basically a mobile jump starter. It's not a battery designed for constant use with high cycle life.
We have some American made LiFePO4 batteries available on our website for sale. These were the only LI-ION variant batteries we wanted to stock because the quality on a lot of other brands just doesn't stand up to the charging systems on these vintage bikes. http://www.sparckmoto.com/batteries
Also, not sure if it was mentioned before, but be sure to upgrade your regulator/rectifier to a modern unit with better voltage regulation capabilities. The vintage charging systems are not kind to modern batteries. We sell those, too. http://www.sparckmoto.com/products

1.) There is not direct equivalent as the earthX batteries use prismatic cells (more power in a smaller space with more resistance to vibration), but the ETX 12 series would be the closest.
2.) I'm not 100% sure. I've never had a Rick's unit put through testing and they don't publish they're exact specs. Our single phase unit is set to regulate at 13.9V +/- .2V. After accounting for resistance on the wires and the internal resistance of the unit this usually works our closer to 14.1V +/- .2V. In a few tests some of our customers have done, our unit regularly charges much sooner than some of our competitors; as low as 2000 RPM in some instances. Our unit was specifically designed for use with LI-ION batteries and wasn't intended to be "just" a modern upgrade. It happens to work quite well for all battery types, however.
