CB360 Variants Question

<< < (2/3) > >>

cbxman:
Thanks Folks,

That is reassuring that it is a UK bike as I understood it was.

My frame number CB360-10938xx does not match the UK portion of the Parts List which quotes CB360-1011300 with matching engine numbers.  Seems strange as Honda didn't do matching numbers, only matching ranges. Based on that, the engine might not be original CB360E-10395xx, however that number does not match the parts list for any country either.

I expect the parts list dated 1 March 1974 pre-dates my bike.  Somewhere there may be a later parts list.....

Thank you Ash for the downloads.

So the bikes that are for sale in the UK with the idiot light pod are mostly US or other country versions imported after period.

Ash,  My bike has a short rear mudguard, but it matches the parts drawing.  There does not seem to be a UK variation listed in country specific parts area of the parts list.....difficult to read those combined drawings and the detached parts list.  What nutter thought of that.  To do with microfiches I expect.

Bryan, Interesting about the insurance. That makes my bike really quite rare.  No wonder there is a dearth of parts.  However most of the bike's parts are universal, so the late other country imports are welcome here in my book.

What triggered this investigation is noticing that the mufflers were mounted in such a way that spoiled the graceful curve of the headers through to the end of the mufflers.  There was a kink suggesting that the mufflers were set too low on their brackets. CMS/DSS have confusing and contradictory images of these parts.  Ash's parts list shows brackets that look different to mine.   The brackets have different part numbers, but should be mirror images.  One of mine has a cut off section and a footpeg locating slot in the wrong place.  Bizzarly, I have seen photos of pillion footpads clearly using bracket like the dodgy one (leaning over 45º).  Maybe a CL360 bracket.  (See photo)

After this confusion I thought I would check the bike's details....so still confused

Sorry for the long ramble,

Cheers,
Jerry

This is a Genuine UK CB250G5 (same frame parts as 360G5) that  I sold to a guy in the N.E. as a 2k mile-left-in-a -shed-to- rot restoration project..

You can clearly see the UK style deeply valanced and longer rear mudguard.

Bryanj:
Rear guards did rot so may have a completely different model grafted on

cbxman:
Bryan,

Maybe.  Perhaps no UK ones left, so fit a more available short one. Possible.

Cheers,

Oddjob:
Never my favourite bike the G5 but I've got to admit to kinda liking that blue restoration there Ash. Very period.

However there's nothing you can do to the CJ version that could possibly improve that model, except a box of matches  ;D ;D
