Good morning

Memphis gets "EXTREME HEAT" warning at 99°.
just a normal day.OK that's what I'd like to find CL.One of my early bikes was a CL450. Some called it a 'Scrambler'. Exhaust ran up high on the left side. Loved that bike..
The CLs had the high chrome pipes. The SLs had the low black pipes. Black pipes started low finished high.OK that's what I'd like to find CL.
I had one but was a 350 and it was fun and comfortable to ride.

Yep mine had the high pipes I don't remember what year I had but it sure brings back good memories.The CLs had the high chrome pipes. The SLs had the low black pipes.
Looks like someone is looking forward to his Saturday "nooner"!
I built me a street tracker out of a XS650 Yamahammer too much funYep mine had the high pipes I don't remember what year I had but it sure brings back good memories.

Crazy weather guessersMemphis gets "EXTREME HEAT" warning at 99°.
Death Valley at 109° no warningsjust a normal day.
I would like to find the old Honda SL 350 The on and off road style. I think that was what they were called- SL
I read that using Captain Kirk's voice in my head.I needed a break. but must keep moving. Leaving for 0hi0 at 1400
Did one at the cabin. Had an electrician install the 220 drop but everything else i did on my own. Drilling the hole and keeping the precharged lines from being kinked while passing through the wall was the most tedious to do solo.Well this heat has got the best of me. I am going to put a mini split in the instructors lounge out in the shop. Basically 40x15.The humidity is destroying everything out there. Anybody put one in lately? I am figuring 4k tops if I do it?
What size? I'm an (ex) commercial HVAC Tech, but now "driving a desk" (sales).Well this heat has got the best of me. I am going to put a mini split in the instructors lounge out in the shop.

I think you must have a very good variety of old bikes.Now which do you want Fred. I have one of each on the trailer. They are rough but restorable for a talented guy
Cleaned up good my finger feels smooth metal and the dark color will not come off on my finger, I say it was a good clean, waiting on my Walker rebuild kit to come in.Looks good. How did the crusties come out of the inside? I paid $100 for a carb at the Nats one year and it was so bad inside I threw it out. I couldn't even unscrew the main jets.
Wait a Minet, box says 2 wheel and the pic has 4.I've just finished assembling my new HD hose reel. Plastic one bit the dust.....................

I might be reading this wrong but all the SL bikes had pipes up high, black with maybe a chrome garden, owned a Sl125, Sl175, Xl 250 back in my tean years to get to work before mom and grandma, sneaking a cigarette or two, my all time favorite for my 145 lb short frame was my 550K Four, 4 to one header, never lost a two telephone pole race, even a cb750 with a 900 kit,The CLs had the high chrome pipes. The SLs had the low black pipes. Black pipes started low finished high.

Extra capacity 200' hose kit and 4 wheel upgrade, 2nd box is upgrade kit..................................
Cl was chrome pipes, nicer big heat shield, Slater came all the way up to the rear of the seat, Cb was lower and street bike like the Cl, but the CL could hit dirt roads and easy trails. SL head light and small blinkers, these are usually removed on purpose, or knocked of .. love your build bike, easy rider and plenty of speed.Yep mine had the high pipes I don't remember what year I had but it sure brings back good memories.
Mike, The only thing I'd be concerned about is the pits that that white corrosion causes. Especially in the round accelerator pump area. The pits can cause fuel to leak past the pump bellows....Cleaned up good my finger feels smooth metal and the dark color will not come off on my finger, I say it was a good clean, waiting on my Walker rebuild kit to come in.
Pictures as promised
