My dads CL cafe

My grandfather bought this new in 1964, I can never remember if its a 125 or 175. Everyone rode it then it got put into storage for years. My uncle tried to have it restored but they botched the job so he gave it to my dad. After some tweeking and sawzawing this is the final product....for now.

I'll try to find a before pic

It's only illegal if you get caught.

If at first you don't succeed, use more lighter fluid

95% of Harley Davidsons ever made are still on the road... The other 5% made it home.

Pretty nice bike. However I think it is most likely a 1974 CL 175 then a 1964 model anything.
