1974 CB360 Cafe Racer Build "the hound"

Been Around the Block
I've been lazy on posting my builds on here and want to get this one posted. This is my second cb360 cafe build. The first one I built was sold to a girl in LA and was featured in Dice Magazine a couple months ago. I loved that bike.

This one starts out like this. I was searching craigslist and found a cb360 listed under furniture. I got ahold of the person and turns out it's been sitting in a storage unit for over 20 years! Go to check it out and the bike turn over freely, is all there, had 125 ft/lbs of compression in both cyclinders, and even had a sweet houndstooth seat cover/backrest/rear rack! Hence this bike earned the name the hound!

Couple pics of how it started out, and how I brought it home. Turns out most early honda fit in the back of a Land Rover Discovery!

Started stripping the bike down to the bare bones. The only bad thing I've found is that it had gas left in it and it's that great gooey varnish. These carbs are going to take some work to clean them before i send them to CrazyPJ.

welded a nut to the seat bracket to make it simple to remove the seat to access the electrical system.

Maybe try posting on a thread that isn't more than a year old? I'm sure none of the nice folk here care about a daisy fresh rookie dragging up a bunch of old threads but personally it annoys the hell out of me
