Honda CL description
Get ready to turn heads when you ride this bike around -- you'll get asked about this Scrambler all the time when out riding it. The '69 K1 Scrambler had a couple of features that were exclusive to that year, including a squared exhaust, "extra spoke" wheels, and the reflector on the front fender (surprisingly hard to find these!). This bike was found in a garage a few years back in a disassembled state (parts were in boxes). It was restored by a small local shop that specializes in vintage Honda bikes (where I bought it 2 years ago) with the following work: -New fork seals and dampening oil -Both carburetors taken apart, thoroughly cleaned, rebuilt with all new kits and properly tuned -Engine valve clearances set to correct factory spec, the ignition point surfaces sanded and cleaned with the ignition timing adjusted -Wheel spokes trued -New Shinko 712 series tires -New drive chain -New factory repro grips -New throttle, clutch and brake cables -New brake lever, clutch lever and cable adjusters -New petcock, fuel lines and fuel filter -Serviced all wiring, cleaned/ inspected all the connections -Tank cleaned out, old liner removed (was chipping off), then new liner added -Charging system, all switches, lights and indicators fully functional -New oil, oil filter, spark plugs and plug boots In May 2016, just dropped a new battery in and tuned up the bike, including cleaning the carbs and adjusting the points. Starts right up and idles good. Both the electric start and kickstart work. Things to know: - The original odometer was not found for this bike. I do have a CL350 odometer/speedo that I bought separately that I'll send along with the bike. I just decided to leave it off because I liked the cafe style look of the bike. Mileage-wise, this bike has less (probably way less) than 500 miles on it since the restoration -- only used it for a short commute to/from work occasionally. - Seat and the handlebars are not the originals -Chrome shines up great, but there are some rust freckles when you look closely (it's the original 45 yr old chrome) -Tank has some scratches (on top of the tank, see photos -- not from being dropped) - Headlight trim has a scuff on it (see photos) Walkaround video is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqU-pQXskG8 Transportation: either local pickup or it can be shipped at buyer's expense. Any questions, or want specific photos of anything, feel free to contact me. |
