Hey PJ,
first...hope the claw is getting closer to good, what a crap pride you've been on there.

What did you mean when you said plastidip spray doesn't work? What problem did you have?
I've used it a little previously and had decent results on hand tools and of all things a set of engine hoses ( customer bike, I was paid too much money to NOT) and it came out ok. Is it just on levers or elsewhere that you had problems?

I used plastidip on my springs. :D
 
Re: CB360's - Speak No Evil, See No Evil, Hear No Evil-from build to blog

It was on levers, not mine and possibly not roughed up or cleaned well enough.
Seemed a bit too much like wrapping a busted balloon around lever.
The dip is thicker than the spray

HAHAH...busted balloon.....
Yeah it definitely takes more than one application from a rattle can. For quick build-up dip is surely the way to go.

PJ, question on the hub turning. Front looks relatively easy however my rear has a stepped down section on one of the fins. Any ideas how this could be turned?

Also any thoughts in whether this would affect the hub strength?

I wouldn't remove the 'fins' on a rear drum but I have removed the ribs between them (pages 5 & 6)
There isn't any way to make the hub 'look good' (except mine ;) )

That's what I meant PJ, the cross sections and round smaller fins in the hub centre. I was keen to mill these down in the front and rear like you have done. Are there any concerns with affecting hub strength?
 
Re: CB360's - Speak No Evil, See No Evil, Hear No Evil-from build to blog

Removing the cross piece shouldn't cause any problems and is real easy to do with a small round file (or 3/16" burr in Dremel)

What's the problem with smoothing out the centre on the rear like you did on the front PJ?

Drum brake, it gets hot and expands/contracts.
Don't know if it would weaken enough to fail but I'm afraid to find out ;)

Fair enough, might leave that one alone then.

Well, I can't do much but I can supervise Brendon working on his bike.
He fitted new fork gaiters, drilled disc and modified sprocket cover/lifter mech.
While front end was apart, un-seized brake pivot and painted fork lowers gloss black (I did get to do the rattlecan with appliance epoxy 8) )

Also, a picture of modified exhaust
GP end can to extend it and an internal baffle to reduce diameter to 1-1/2"
It may look a bit funky but longer pipe works amazingly well (plus, it's the only one of these I've ever seen)
It's a lot quieter and MUCH faster (with K&N +modified carbs)
STOCK engine is pulling an indicated 105 and still slowly building speed (rearset next?)

Here is today's 'finished product' seat is going to be done properly and clip-on's under yoke when rear-sets get fitted
Fender is going to be painted sometime, (next time he gets fired up to modify things ;D )
I think red to match tank?

Great looking exhaust !

Hey! I didn't know it was you guys I sent the Harris can to! Glad to see you were able to make it work; I'd love to hear how it sounds.

That sounds great. Funny how even though you're using it on a twin, it's got some of the same tones as on my I4. I can definitely tell we're using the same can. This was just after installing the new one ::)

Re: CB360's - Speak No Evil, See No Evil, Hear No Evil-from build to blog

Yep, thanks to Ringo.
I knew it was someone on here who sent it to Brendon, just couldn't remember who
