Took the rubber manifold from the stock air filters and installed the pods on that instead of directly to the carb body so they clear the battery box. Bike sounds even better now. However, there is a small flat spot in the rpm range around 3/4 throttle. Any suggestions on jetting? Plugs are nice and golden brown.

On a side note, Andrew hit a solid 1,000 miles since we swapped the engine and got it dialed. This speedo goes with the original engine so we don’t really know how many miles this engine really has.

Finished up the rear end of my CB360t and with that, my bike is almost 100% done (for now). I still have to rebuild the MC and I’m having the fork seals done at Liberty Vintage while i’m out of town the next few weeks. Here is a quick list of what i have done:

1) cut down and remounted the original turn signals so they sit closer to the frame.

2) replaced the taillight with a “Lucas style” light

3) I wanted to put on pods but they don’t clear the battery so I’m sticking with my original air boxes till I have time to remount the battery. I felt like the 360t had the ugliest side panels of all 70s Hondas, so i made my own out of 16gauge sheet metal. They still need to be refined, but they are coming along. I left them raw to match my tank.

4) I cleaned up an extra set of shocks from a cb350 and replaced the 360ts shocks. I only did this because i like the chrome boot on top of the shock and the 360t didnt have that. They ride the same, just look nicer.

5) I had a custom seat done by the same guys that did Ed’s seat. It came out pretty great and feels much better then riding around on a seat pan!!! However, i wish I had them put in firmer foam. If you ever get a seat redone, its probably a good idea to have all new foam (I believe they used some of my old foam which I think is causing the softness problem)

6) Like i said in my other post, I took off the tool box and rewired the key so it’s right next to my kick start. I ended up having to replace the whole unit again because the original was pretty chewed up and started to cause some issues.

Of course I have a million more things I want to do, but work is starting to get busy and the weather is getting nice, so I think i’ll ride her as is for the time being!

…and the classic before photo.

Stripping paint is messy.

Helped Andrew raw out his 360t tank.

I’ve been back from Japan/Korea for two weeks and been trying to spend all my free time on my 360t. I worked out two big improvements in my opinion. First I lowered the gauges by remounting the bracket under the triple tree instead of on top. Even know its only half an inch (if that) i feel it really helps to tuck them down. I thought this would be a quick fix, but course it wasn’t. I had to file down the triple tree and bend the bracket to get it to fit.

The second big thing I did to the front end was take off my horn (still trying to figure out where to put it) and re-wired my key to where my tool box use to be. This REALLY cleans up the front triangle a lot! I’m stoked on the look. I’m debating trimming down the fender but havent made up my mind yet.

With the help of Adam and some T9 I also rawed out my tank. Except for some more polishing and some touch up paint, the front end is pretty much complete. Up next is a new seat and hopefully some custom side panels. I’m slowly working my way down the bike.

Before and After.

Before and After… using the same lens would have helped, but you can kinda see how the speedo sits lower.

I’m digging my new key spot… switch the key then kick the bike!

I’ve been looking at some different ideas people have for carrying their bmx bikes on their motorcycles. I would love to do a small trip this summer on motorcycles, goin to Allentown trails and the York cement park. This is Clint Reynold’s way of transporting it. Held down by the bars, homemade welded clamp to the frame, and the seat is supported into the rear fender. Pretty cool/scary at the same time!
