Looks just like yours. Been sitting in my garage for about 20 years or so. I always loved it. Great bike. No problems....ever. Also have a 1967 CB160. Should sell both of them. What fun they always were. Good luck with yours. Such a reliable machine. Hi Dave,

Where are you getting yours? Thanks. I need a diaphragm for one of my CL350 carbs, and was just told that “they are no longer available” by my local parts store. Where are you getting yours? Thanks.

Then rinse with warm water to remove soap and dry clean. Done. You can also warm the rubber up in warm water to make it more workable.
