The Red Wonder
Been Around the Block
Hey guys, it makes me sad to put this project up for sale, but I am hoping someone can take it the last little bit and get it up and running. Penelope is a 1976 CB360 with a ton of custom modfications. You can read through the build thread here, and find out why I did what I did. <a href="http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=20106.0">CB360 - Penelope</a> or just browse through the pictures over here: <a href="http://s37.photobucket.com/user/quadracer06/library/Cafe%20Racer?sort=3&page=1">MORE PICTURES. </a>
She is currently living in Orange County, California. She has a clean California title, but is not registered.
I unfortunately have lost the time, the motivation, and the tools to finish the work on her. I would love to see someone else buy her, finish her, and let me take her for a ride ;D
Price...this is the tough part....how do you put a price on something that is uniquely your vision and something you have devoted over 2000 hours in to...I have over $6,000 of actual parts in the bike and I know that I cannot ask that for an in progress project....I think$4,750 would be a good asking price for what I have here...but that still may be unrealistic. Let's start at $3,500 and I am open to offers. There are seriously a ton of custom parts that come with this. Please PM me is you are at all interested in seeing Penny and the buckets of parts.
Here is a short list of modifications, much more detail in the build thread:
2006 GSXR Front end swap with an 08 Harley Narrow Glide 19" wheel
- Brand new Avon RoadRider tire
Custom built mono shock swingarm
- Shock is from an R1
- Brand new Avon RoadRider tire
- needle bearing pivots
Completely rebuilt engine with new head
- Black top end and head
- Polished fins
- Polished covers (not shown in these pics)
- GS850 Piston swap. 0.5mm over size GS850 pistons which will result in a 383
- 520 chain size sprockets
Benelli 260 Gas tank
- custom bottom half for more volume and recesses for the forks
- Flush mount gas cap
2x Mikuni VM32 carbs, jetted for the oversize engine
- K&N pod filters
Custom built segemented stainless 2-1 headers
Custom machined rear sets
- not mounted
Dyna Coils
Dewalt batteries for making the custom A123 battery pack
Awesome little old headlight (not sure where it is from)
What is left to do?
Wiring
