I got a '81 "C" myself. Good to see another getting some love! I've had clubman on a CB350F, hard to tell from your pics and not knowing how you are built... but you may want to brings the grips back some. Making them more  horizontal should make them more comfortable. But only if it feels better to you!
Keep the updates comin!

 I had mine like that for awhile then moved them to a different position, my back couldn't take being hunched over. They way I set them up now is much nicer. Looks good though.

That is a beautify looking bike.  Looks like the electronics are all hidden under the seat.  Must be a very small battery.

That said, I wonder how it runs with those pods on the carbs

Still a valid comment. How would it work with pods on stock Keihins, regardless of ownership. Very nice bike indeed.

Where is the oil kept on that bike?  Is it not a dry sump?

Correct. DOHC's are not dry sumps like the SOHC's.

Hossier,

Does one know how or where they relocated the battery? Its not a kickstart, and has no sign of a battery. This is what i want to eventually do. Any info would be awesome.
Thanks again for the Motivation

Judging by the way the cables run from the spark plugs its got to have all of the electronics in the tail piece and under the seat.  Must be a very small battery.
