Hi,I have just bought a '68 CL350 K0. It rides pretty nicely, a few bits and bobs to do but nothing too major. I was advised to do the timing chain and tensioner,I note the cluthc is a bit grabby and drags when warm, so it may need one at some point.
So then I got thinking, maybe a full motor rebuild would be worthwhile.....?
So does anyone have any recommendations of a parts source in the UK for a rebuild, or maybe even companies/ people that will undertake such work? Maybe some small mods along the way, (overbore, porting sportier cam and rejet..?)
I know there are plenty of cb350 based racers out there, I dnt want to go daft with the motor but a nice lightly modded unit would work well in the bike I think.
I see a few bits and bobs available in the USA, but a UK parts source or rebuild company would be useful!
I hope I don't end up regretting buying a bike older than I am! Not so far, I am loving having fun at 70mph again, rather than being bored stiff at 120 on more modern machinery!
Any help greatly appreciated, great site BTW.

As the CL350 wasn't a normal UK model (as far as I know?) and also due to its age you could have trouble finding performance parts in the UK?

I think the motor is the exactly the same as a CB350 though.
Surely there must be someone who rebuilds the CB350 motors.....!!
