Woody1981's winning entry:
Hey guys here are the details on my bike.
I purchased this 1973 CL350 in the spring of 2008 as a good stock runner. My goal was to cafe it in such a way to make it look longer and lower and faster.
It’s sporting a 1969 CB350 tank. I had the fenders, fork lowers, headlight bracket and triple-trees all powdercoated black.
I swapped out the CL pipes for standard CB headers mated to NOS MC Motorcycles shorty bell-mouth mufflers.
The seat is custom shaped foam and custom covered on a stock CB seat pan, so it uses stock mounting points.
My favorite part, and the part that gets the most attention from fellow riders, is the custom headlight bracket. I fabbed the pieces myself and had a shop weld it for me. The headlight is a CEV scooter headlight, which houses a 2.25″ tach. The taillight is a Lucas style unit with integrated plate mount and light.
The 1 7/8″ speedo is mounted to TTR400 CNC’d clip-ons.
The paint is Corvette Victory Red and a GM maroon done by Josh Ferry of The Autobody Complex in Wichita, Kansas. The pinstriping was done by Josh Christy of VanChase Studio (vanchase.com).
The bike is lowered 2″ in front and uses heavy RaceTech springs and 20wt oil in the CL360 forks. The back is riding on 11″ short shocks. Tires are Avon RoadRiders in 100/90-19 front and a 120/80-18 rear.
Thanks for the nomination for BOTM... I'm honored to even be mentioned amongst these nice nice bikes.
Fingers crossed... I wouldn't mind seeing it in the header image for a bit.
Thanks again,
Woody
