Thanks,
Stealth 128

Since an old thread is being revived (awaiting Spring in northern hemisphere?):

Compared to the typical CB twin dual straight back exhausts, circa 1970, the CL is the scrambler with both pipes up high on one side and the SL dual downpipes had upswept mufflers...more than my 1975 CB360T.

Mine were the same colors as in the links.

SL350: https://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/model/...0%2070.htm

CL350: https://www.mecum.com/lots/LV0117-276182...nda-cl350/

IMHO the 1970 CL350 scrambler pipes had the best lines of any I have seen.
