Re: CB360 Project: Lucky 7even! (small update Mar 13/10 )
Thanks for the words,
I came across this awhile ago, would any one have a pic of what should be here. I'm talking about the rod with the blue like
silicone around it, sorry for the bad pics,(cellphone).
Thanks for any help.

Bike looks great! I was wondering where you'd gotten off to. Sorry to hear the news. I recently lost my Gram as well, she was 99 so you can't ask for much more than that but it still isn't easy.
I like the shape of that exhaust on your bike but I don't like the fnish with your bike. You have a very clean looking build going and the more utilitarian finish on those pipes looks a bit out of place in my mind.

I'm sorry to hear about your grandma. The bike is still looking fantastic! Is the part you are looking for part of the starter? I'm not sure I can help you out with that I took my starter out. Glad your back, I've been missing the progress on this!
p.s. You'll be seeing those pipes soon

Hey Pete! Sorry about your loss brother, I know how much I love mine too, so I can feel your pain.
Personally, I like the exhaust. It's SS, so I would polish it out and it would look amazing. The shape is incredible.
The rod you are looking at is supposed to be there. It actually is a retaining rod for a catch trap underneath the crank. There are two little metal plates under there that this rod slips on top of and holds in place. I don't really know why there is Silicone in there though, that is kind of odd. That is a lubricated assembly, under there, s I don't know why it would matter if it leaked. Beats me. The rod is designed to be there though...Hmm.

is your fender mounted to your swing arm? Did you just use those frame clamp things? Any chance you could snap a few detail shots of how you mounted it?

Thanks Berner, Great to be back at it!
Thanks Rocan, can't wait to see what you do with the motor.
Thanks for the words Kanticoy,
Polished SS would be a good idea, as for the sillicone I pulled that plug out last night, not really sure what the previous owner was thinking :-\ Thanks for the tip.
Yes mounted to the swing arm, I think I have some pics , I'll post them later today.
Now you guys have me thinking. Got to get a hold of Chris. ;D

Boom heres a few pics. I had a spare exhaust clamp, I cut it half shaped it to the swing arm, used my ebay welder(first time welding, alot of fun ;D). and used the existing holes on the rear fender to mount to.
Hope this help.
Thanks

that is exactly what I wanted to see, helps a ton! Thanks man!
p.s. Im no expert on welding, I just started when I started my cafe project. But just from looking at the pictures it looks like youre striking your arc and then moving the gun right away. You should wait a second until you have a pool going, and then lay your bead. Use some scrap to practice, try pausing when you first strike your arc and then moving slower than you think you need to. That being said, those welds will probably be plenty strong for that application.

Looks good. Can that fender move? if you hit a bump or something it looks like from the pic that there is nothing preventing it from moving downward other than the bolts. Just something I noticed you may have it figured out and I can't see it. Keep it up.
