cl350 build/entry : part 4

A week or two back, I decided things were just getting overly difficult hunting down a bunch of stock parts that should have came with my cl350 donor. My budget was going to swell to the point that I wouldn't be able to get a few key items I really wanted to make it right. Luckily an inexpensive cb350 cafe basketcase popped up on the local CL harnessing 95% of the parts I need to make it work. What's left can be put together and sold off to fund other future projects or maybe even flip into 2013 build material(doubtful). Even so, the money spent on the basket was less than the parts I need sourced separately, so budget crisis has been averted. With that said, I snatched the cb350 forks and front fender with quickness to put on the cl. I kept the 19" cl wheel which fits the cb fender profile nice and snug. Intake boots robbed as well, so I am getting a tad closer to the first fire. Also got a bro deal on another front fender, that will help me lengthen the front and back to match my rendering. I'll hold off on that for the moment, as I really want to get the seat and rear fender figured out or at least under way before that becomes priority. All in all, not much progress to take pics of, but a steady amount of work ahead.
