Yep, started like as the "scrambler" CL but eventually all that was left of that were the folding foot pegs. Here it is around 1976 bored to 500, half race cams when i was done haha. Still have it although it's looking sad.
Had friend in the 70's that worked at a BSA / Triumph "Chopper shop" that had a large bone pile and I ended up making the honda part BSA / Triumph for the cloverleaf peg grinding.
Follow Ups:
My brother and I had a Scrambler 90--you can see one just like in the movie Independence Day , same color and everything--and the CB450 looked huge to my eyes.
IIRC, Honda ended up increasing the displacement to 500cc.
The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.
Ahh the 90, what a bike! In H.S. i had a CL160 and a friend Glen had the 90 with knobbies. It was a far better dirt bike than my 160 was.
The 160, 305 and 450 where back when Honda was active supporting privateer road racing including race parts. I think there may have been a 125 too but the 160 could be bored to 175, the 305 to the 350 class and the 450 to 500 class. By then, that was my interest. Another friend got a 750 which to me seemed big and very heavy although fast.
Ducati made a 350 and 450 singles i had the hots for on and off.
