Welcome to my build my name is Hans and i am a student of industrial design and the motorcycle being built is a 1974 cb360, I purchased this bike for a lovely Benjamin and have owned it for over a year.
Unfortunately i don't have any photos of her prior to dis-assembly but she was just like every other old forgotten rusted cb360 you've seen before.
My goal is to create something that can not only be ridden everyday but can be an also benefit my portfolio. With this in mind everything is being done with my own bare hands, from grinding, sandblasting, powder coating, painting, upholstery and well you get the gist.
And so it begins...
Here i am grinding down all the brackets that i wont be using..
I have very limited time to be in the shop so alot of the small stuff is being done when i am at work.
Here are the carb's one sparkly clean the other very disgusting.
Here is the color i will being going with on the frame wheels and misc..
Its a muted gold with a clear top coat very solid and looks even better in person.
I also had a little time to bend the rear hoop and start cutting the seat pan out with the plasma cutter..
Here is the rear wheel after i powder coated it the muted gold..
and now with the tire mounted.. i decided to go with stock size avon distanzias as it will fit my build well and they should perform well for what i am going to be using them for..
'
I also have the front one done but i do not have a photo at this time..
Ive also spent some time painting my crusty old honda emblems metallic gold and blue and found a nos shoei helmet to match!
Later this week i will be fabricating the rear fender and beginning the upholstery work.
