...Just the frame, title not important. It would be awesome if it has the footbar and kickstand, and even more awesome if it has the brake pedal and rod. Just the frame is fine tho. Cheaper the better.

I have a 71 CL350 ...with every things mention above.
 
I have 2 no title 71/72 CL frames and all the other bits Buffalo NY they have surface rust but are sound.

Say $50 for the frame and lot of parts you want, no idea on shipping but if you are serious I can get a quote next week sometime "UPS store is a block away" I would have to come up with a box to put it all in. Do these all rot out in NC.
 
I think people just neglect the fuck out of them here. If it is outside, it's exposed to rain frequently. If it is covered, it is still exposed to ridiculous amounts of humidity all the time, which tends to rot them from the inside out. I'm a bicycle mechanic and I see pristine appearance older steel frames that are rotten inside from humid-as-fuck air getting into the vent holes
 
I have a frame that is shaved of all unneeded tabs and brackets, braced, welded seams, painted, and titled frame also if you wanted to go that way. Swing arm mounts were fabed and welded in also so no more passenger peg wing bracket needed. I just never had enough love for the 350 twin and it keeps getting passed over for my other bikes. But that would cost you more than $50 and shipping. I would actually sell all my 350 stuff if I could get reasonable $$$$ for the 3 of them in pieces, but that is doubtful. I would rather work on my RD400 resto and my 160 racer and I tend to goto them first whenever I make time for the 350 which has become the ugly duck.

I'd be very interested to hear how anyone ships a frame for under $85. Especially with usps. I have 15 + frames I need to get rid of, but haven't been able to ship a frame for even $100 with ups ground..
