My first project - 1974 CB360 K0

<< < (4/35) > >>

nairb:
I have the same model in blue.  The front drum brake one.  Easy to sort out.  Cheap(ish) to restore.  The 360 is far better than the 250.  Easy engine to repair.  Best if there are no rattles/smoke from engine, but can be sorted.  Looks like a good starting point - not that expensive if engine ok.

Maybe our definitions of slow are different, when I was testing these it was back in the days of my production racing and that sort of skews your views on speed I'd imagine. Oddly I found the 250N a much better bike. The 400N even more so.

I guess jumping on one these after racing might just be an influence !  Ha ha!

Well, I couldn’t resist in the end. I managed to get a good deal on the bike and it was delivered this morning. I squeezed it into the garage and now need to wait for the new shed to be sorted before I can start playing with it as there just isnt enough space. First impressions are as expected, the triple tree is broken but I knew that from the photos, I’ve had it up and down the road, it selects all gears fine, the engine doesn’t sound too bad but we will see when I get the top off in time.

I’m not sure what my intentions are for it yet as this is the first bike and engine I will have had in bits, I have a sneaking suspicion that this will be a bit of a practice bike and lots of mistakes will be made along the way, so I don’t think I’m going to go all in on this and will probably use it to learn a bit and make presentable?

I’m sure I will ask all kind of daft questions along the way, so apologies and thanks in advance!

Skoti:
Well done indeed.

I'm gonna be following your CB360 renovation with interest.

Good luck

Thanks, it will be a while before I can get going and it won’t be quick! Or good possibly come to that! But I’m looking forward to it.
