So here's a few shots of the bike when I picked her up and brought her home. It was nothing out of the ordinary when it comes to old bikes. It was a two for one sort a deal so I got both the CB360 as well as the CL360 behind it, which will be donating its pipes to my own bike. After about 10 minutes of tinkering back at the shop, I had her fired up and running, and another 5 minutes made the first test ride up the lot and back.
Kevin came by later on in the market for a bike, so we started planning out his bike build...
After some conversing and discussion, here's what we came up with so far.
Strip her down, remove all unnecesary extras, Wide White Walls, red rims, and some major refreshing/restoration, and an all around sprucening up. After some days during disassembly, grinding, sandblasting, and fabricating, we got around to powder coating some parts.
Super Mirror Gloss Black Frame and Swing Arm.
Polished Fork Tubes, Satin Black Triple Trees and Fork Legs.
Blood Red Rims
Hand polished spokes (all 72 of em).
Satin Black Hubs
Dunlop Wide Whites
After some more time putting things back together and stealing some extra parts off other bikes she became a roller once again. The rear shocks borrowed from the cb650 made it look really tall in the back, but it was only temporary.
