I'm not trying to hijack, but since I'm putting in a bit of work into the CL/CB350 in order to get it more to my liking, I figured I'd post up here rather than create my own build thread.
I think I could use a little electrical expertise at the moment, in case anyone has any time to assist a little lower down.
So I'm dragging the CL/CB 350 K0 out of the back of the garage. I'm focusing on trying to get a hollow center on the bike, which means relocating a lot of the electrics
The bike after a few moments getting the airfilters and side panels off, which is incredible fun on a CL without removing the pipes!
The beautiful work of art that is the stock battery box in all of it's "10 years of less than perfect storage" glory.
Ah, that looks a lot better... now what to do with all these pesky electrics? A great source for 350 info has a diagram online...

Here is the selenium rectifier, what are the odds that this little puppy is still working correctly? Probably slim to none, I should see if anyone knows of good (and cheap) potential upgrades
Turn signal relay, will go the way of the turn signals and find itself in the rubbish bin.
Delicious little starter motor relay. I'm currently running the SpeedCell battery, which strains to operate the starter motor, and I've usually been bump starting the bike. I'm not sure if I'm ready to shed the weight of the motor/relay so I'll be relocating this piece for now.
I'm figuring this is the voltage regulator? I'm used to seeing this combined as a regulator/rectifier, so I'm assuming these older separate regulator don't need to be position for heat dissipation?
That's all I really had time for today, other than taking it out for a spin before the partial dismantling. I'll be looking at creating new mounts and relocating most of the electrics up under the seat for the next step while the air filters are on order.
Thanks Gabe, for letting me toss this post into your build thread, hope you don't mind if I keep adding things here and there!
