I bought this '74 cb360 in the summer thinking I could at least get it running before winter. I got one almost complete bike, and a rolling chasis with a rubbermaid bin full of a disassembled engine and other parts. Not realizing how little free time I have, i'm only now feeling like I'm actually making progress. Unfortunately I didn't take any "before" pictures, I was too eager to rip into it which also led to me not documenting much of the disassembly which I'm feeling now.
Anyways, here's where I'm at now. I chopped the rear and welded in the stock hoop, and de-tabbed the frame, made an underseat battery box, and fiberglass seat pan. I bought new parts from 4 into 1, with another pending order for parts I'm surely going to forget, and using bars, levers, and a speedo that I got off ebay for cheap. Just got stuff back from powder coating and assembled what I could. That's the spare gas tank and front wheel, which I won't be using. I still have to build the wheels. I was gonna buy new mikesxs rims and paint the hubs, but decided to powder the stock rims (using 2 1.85 rear rims) and hubs instead.
