Frame horns trimmed. I still need to fill the bolt holes, weld the seam, and add some bracing back in.
Fork ears trimmed. I will be removing the fork lock, and making a headlight bracket that attaches with the lower fork pinch bolts.
Need to fill these holes on both ears.

Hey man, diggin your CL350. I'm working on a little Triumph chop but am using a 69 CB350 Front end. What method did you use to remove the headlight ears so cleanly?
Thanks

Kellen,
I basically just whittled away at it very slowly with a grinder sanding disc until the metal got extremely thin. Once it got close to the actual cover metal I filed the remaining off focusing mainly on the spot welds holding it on. If you use a sanding disc to remove the remaining bit, it will probably gouge the metal or make it extremely thin. Just take your time, and it will work out fine. These front ends look pretty sharp with the ears removed.
