Now I've finished my CL450, and before I get committed to restoring a car, there's a narrow window of opportunity to 'invest' in another bike project (that's how I will pitch it to the wife).
What do you think of this for a project, a CB350 K0 US import from the Frog dude. Luckily he steps away from the easy start / remote fuel supply and just checks they turn over.

It
could be extremely low miles if it broke early or something bad happened, you wouldn't know until you got it apart for a look / clean and to change all the seals etc.
What the hell was going on for it to be geared down with a huge back sprocket and knobbly tyres to be fitted is anyones guess. Was the CL350 available then? Like my CL450, looking at the closeups of the wheels, the tyres seem to have been fitted with steak knives rather than tyre levers, damaging the rims.
Overall it looks very good, with paint that looks well worth saving, possibly a blown head gasket looking at that oil leak, how findable are needed stuff like seat covers, chain guard and exhausts though?
