Keep it simple- engine, wheels, bars
What makes a CJ360 pickup special?
Larger pickup that does a much better job pulling oil while the bike is running on the side stand.redwillissuperman said:
CJ left and CB right...
Thats the switch for the neutral dummy light on your gauge cluster. They can weep oil sometimes, so it may be worth changing the o-ring. Chances are its fine, though. You can pop them out with the engine together and replace the seal too, I believe.
It's a good mod. I picked one up at the Barber swap meet for $10

Reworking the steering stop for the new forks:
It's obviously way too big...
New material:
Some heat:
Nice bend:
Cutting off the old steering stop, that extra tab, and the vin plate to prep for blasting and painting:
Fitting the new stop and tacking it on:
And it works perfectly:

Even if you do fit rearsets the passenger pegs are not in a good spot to mount them.
Switched gears a bit today and got some work done on the swing arm while I'm waiting for some other parts to show up. Mild prepping for media blasting, paint, and new parts.
First, took it all apart:
Second, pressed the old bushings and such out:
I used a piece of random pipe I found and the nut from the bottom of a trailer hitch ball:
Got the center part of the front bushings off with the same things:
To get the bushings themselves out, I cut two flat sides into a washer that was barely bigger than the hole in the bushing...
This way I could get it into the inside of the tube...
Then when it turns flat, it won't fall out and offers a lot of contact on the inside edge of the bushing...
Then just threw it in the press and they popped right out:
The shock bushings definitely need to be replaced, the front bushings... meh, they are in good shape without any play so I anticipate they have been replaced before and I hate to spend the money on new ones but they are still the plastic ones and I know I probably should replace them anyway at this point.

I decided I really don't like this:
It looks like it moves just enough to rub the paint off and rust - and I hate the idea of going through all the effort of cleaning it up and painting it, etc, etc only for it to end up rusty again.
Sooo I cut it off.
Added a little heat to flatten it out:
Some creative bending:
Welding back on:
(those welds are so ugly :-[ )
And now it's wide enough to accept a proper heim joint rod end 8)
