Up for grabs is a rare first year 1968 Honda CL350 Motorcycle. This bike came off the line in 1968, and is titled as a 1968. Clean, clear Michigan title provided with sale. Frame # 1008489 Engine # 1009759 This bike was purchased locally. It was then taken to a reputable Honda dealership that specializes in vintage Hondas, so that they could go over the motor and replace gaskets and getting it running as it should be! Below, I have tried to dissect the bike's condition so that you have a better idea of what you are bidding on. Please view pictures closely! Tank – Nice condition tank with original paint. Badges are all present, and in good condition. Original gas cap, also in good condition. Inside of tank is VERY clean, with little to no rust. It has some chipping up near the steering stem, and also a few small scratches. Wheels – Both wheels are in very good condition. No bends or dents evident. Some very very slight surface rust appears on a few of the spokes and throughout the wheels. Exhaust - The exhaust on this bike is unfortunately cracked near where the pipe meets the muffler (see pic). The rest of the exhaust system is very clean and solid. Tires – Both tires are in good condition. Bridgestone 5703 and 5704. May be original tires? Tons of tread left, and no major signs of dry rot or cracking. Grips – Grips are in fair condition. Throttle side is very nice still, clutch side is more worn, and has a hole in the end of it. Gauges – Although the tachometer and speedometer are both in great physical condition, neither one functions correctly. The speedometer does not move at all, while the tach will bounce in high rpm whenever the bike is running. On that note, both gauges are in near perfect condition. The trim rings have no rust, and faceplates are not faded or cracked. I debated on purchasing working gauges to include with the bike, but decided to leave the old ones on there since they match the title, and are original to the bike. Side covers – Both side covers are in excellent condition, original paint, and have no cracks or missing pieces. Battery – Brand new battery installed. Stands - Both the side stand and center stand are present Seat - Original seat , with original cover. Cover has a hole in it near the tank (see pics) Electronics - Front and rear signals are all in good condition with no cracked or missing lenses. Brake light, headlight and signals all work. The horn also works. Fork Ears - Both original paint, but both have cracks in the paint as if the headlight was tweaked at some point in the bikes life. 1972 MICHIGAN PLATE Included with the bike. The bike starts instantly (a little choke when it's cold), runs and rides very well. Hop on and go! A large amount of money was spent at the dealership to get this bike running the way it should be, saving you from having to spend the money in the future. It is not perfect. You will find some scratches on the tank as mentioned above, throughout the frame and other random places. It will have some surface rust on parts of the bike. With that being said, it is a complete , original, VERY NICE bike. It is a true head turner, and this is your chance to own it! Buyer is responsible for any costs associated with transporting the bike. Depending on the time, I will more then likely be available to assist loading it. A $200.00 deposit through Pay Pal is due immediately after auction ending. The balance can be paid in cash , or cashiers check within 7 days (the bike will not be released until the funds have cleared). Please see my positive selling history so that you can be confident with what you are bidding on. Good luck!
