Face it Bear, you are only as old as you feel. You aren't really that old yet riding around on a scooter! I hope I am as energetic as you when I reach your age.

I have a 90 year old neighbor that still rides. His only concession to his age is it is a Chinese trike now.

I agree, I know a 90 year old who still drives a 400hp 'Vette when he comes to town (rental).

wOOt! great job though dude must not know that the petcock cover is the most sought after part on the thing that and an accessory glovebox

nm i see where you posted its a 400, first time i seent one up close. what year is it? late 70s? cross your fingers but I am in the process of aquiring a 71 or 72 cl100 got a mudcart i got in a trade someone made out of a 4 wheeler frame and motor this guy wants and he has a cl100 so i was like lets trade, waiting on the word

Mystic.....did you ever get the CL 100?........

The 400 SS is still in my garage, the son has negotiated a deal with a friend of his for a modest profit. Waiting for the word on that deal. Sold the Passport I had, the blue Express too. Taking my Elite 80 down to soccer trim for the experiment with Scooter Soccer this spring.

No i havent heard anything from the guy about it I will have one sooner or later just waiting for a really good deal heck I have the cb450 just waiting for me to tear apart and restore. I am just not keen on large heavy bikes. I dont feel like I am in control. I really want to restore the cmx250 rebel i have but have been unable to locate a complete rearend which mine is missing plus I took the valves out to repair my xr80 motor so it looks like i will be scrapping/selling the parts from it though the cylinders are in great shape. I may try to swap the cm400 engine i have into the 450 so i can do away with the points in preference of the cdi. not sure its all up in the air no plans to sell my 450 though. What about that 92 sa50 you were considering??

was the 92 sa50 an elite lx with the blue wheels and the guy also had a go cart in the same add? I can understand about no room I have my bikes stuffed everywhere since I dont have a carport i have to stick the ones i dont want exposed to teh weather in odd places lol I was just informed that my mom wants me to build her a scooter now so i gots ta find her something relatively inexpensive.

super clean bike there man, is that the stock muffler? the only thing I dont like about the cl100 is the fact that the muffler is so far up under the leg. If and when i get one that will be hte first thing I change about it. The only reason i can think that they put it up like that is the fact that it was the scrambler version/dual sport to keep the muffler front getting dented or broken off jumping over logs or boulders lol I have the xr100 so i dont know why i am so hung up on the cl, i just prefer the 70s styling and heavy duty materials

That thing is too sweet to go bashing it aghainst rocks and wheeling over logs, i saw an enduro frame for cheap on CL you should get and just put your motor into then swap it back after you get done playing in the mud nothing to a dirtbike really just ignition, killswitch, coil and cdi. since you are going to use that I would strip everything off of it and get all plastic fenders and tank

this is what you need right here i knew i had a bookmark. i imagine it just needs a light hone on the cylinder and new piston and rings. the XR series is super easy to work on. 5 or 6 bolts and hte whole motor just drops out and this one is near you in fact. save the classic and get this beater
