Pete, I didn't know that it was the first DOHC production engine, but I did know that the CL450's are very rare and desirable. The CL350's are much more common and easy to come by. The bonus to working on a 45 year old bike is that there aren't any computers or electronics that are hard to find or have to be programmed. I have four carbs that came with the bike, and they all look like they're in pretty good shape, just dusty and dirty. All the floats are intact and don't show any evidence of corrosion or failure. The first thing I really want to do is get the front tire and lower half of the shocks torn apart. Get everything cleaned up, and see what I need to do to get the rods replaced and get the front tire back on the bike. From there, not sure where I'll go next.

I was struggling to get my wife's attention; I sat down on the couch and looked comfortable. That did the trick!

My wife says I only have two faults. I don't listen and something else...

If at first you don't succeed, try doing it the way I told you to...
