Re: The Parts Pile CL350 Cafe
Titled frame, and Ebay spray paint special gas tank
I had a couple changeups from the original "parts bike". First off, the bike had no title. I sold the frame for 50 bucks, and then found
one with a title for $100.00. Not too shabby! I never liked the CL tanks, they are too stubby for my tastes. On the other hand,
I didn't want to do a bunch of messing around trying to make a tank from a totally different bike fit. I found a CB350 tank on Ebay for
less than $40.00. It was spray painted, so I pretty much rolled the dice and hoped that it wasn't too full of bondo. Anyways, I took the
frame to get sandblasted, and stripped the paint off the tank. The tank has a couple of little dents in it, not too bad. Not sure what path
I'm going to take with it yet, but it's time to get working on the frame.
