Hey everyone, I just found this forum and I'm just starting a restoration on a red '72 CL70. Here are some before pictures:
and Current
I've gotten quite a bit off and all of the wiring freed up. I'm planning on redoing the connections and possibly replacing some of the individual wires as necessary. I'm planning on re-wraping the harness as all of the sheathing has degraded.
The only thing i'm finding right now is there is a little more rust inside the frame that i would have liked to see. I'm planning on using a wire brush to clean it right now but if its too bad I may have it sand blasted at the shop (only the inside).
The carburetor needs alot of work and it was missing the float pin. Surprisingly enough, I have not run into any seized bolts yet even though many were showing quite a bit of oxidation.
The other bike you see in there is an 07 Suzuki v-strom. It got me across country and back.
