CB360's-from build to blog - 2013, MDS (Mo Dumb Shit)

[Sonreir]

Sounds like a great bike.  Was this the bike with the increased compression as well?

[crazypj]

Yep, skimmed head and block.
It's actually pretty hard to kick over so compression is well up there 
 I pulled plugs this morning, looks just about perfect, milky coffee coloured, ground strap and porcelain all the way to base.
 Will have to do a full throttle test but I think it's going to be good.
 Who said stock carbs don't work? 
I guess air correctors I made are just about right
 I'll try and get a pic in next few days

Looks Great PJ!!!

What jets are you running, pj?  About 125 or so?

[JustinLonghorn]

Didn't take any video this week.
 I still have over an hour from ride to Cocoa Beach two weeks ago from Mods&Rockers.
I'm going to have to learn how to edit out the really boring bits
 

Damn, I went to that show with my pops. Would have been nice to put a face to an internet persona, eh?

I just started looking at your build, Looks great! Where did you find your indicator lights. I was thinking about doing something similar with my dash. thanks!
OK, this is part of the reason bike didn't get finished on time, spent too long making and modifying stuff

11mm bore dirtbike master cyl



Made a banjo bolt from Stainless steel Allen, drilled some cross holes for lockwire and tapered top (and I made braided line)


'New' ignition switch, LED neutral and High beam warning, LED left/right indicator lights


Expensive April! this is 4 of the 5 bikes, didn;t have to do truck as we did a 2 yr tag last year (next year will be VERY expensive) 

[crazypj]

Indicators from eBay, $19.95 a pair plus shipping.
 'Dash' was a piece of 2" aluminium angle, cut and drilled. If I could have found a small piece of 3" I would have 'filled in' the gap at 'back'
Next April is going to be crazy expensive, even more than I thought.
My wife put Firebird in MY name so it will be 4~5 bikes, pickup and car

Have you by chance measured your static compression? You mention it being somewhat difficult to kick over....
My 550cc 450/500T hybrid will be sitting at 11.2 to 1 and I've wondered what that'll do to the kicker effort. The electric leg on these engines seems to be pretty dodgy too, I'd feel kinda dumb having to do a 3rd gear GP start every time I need to move it under it's own power....

[crazypj]

I did measure volumes but then I swapped a few things around and lost list (probably some where real safe  )
Went to Dime City grand opening yesterday, 3 bikes in back of a Mazda B2300 was a bit of a tight fit.
 Took a lot of pics, will probably put some up in 'the lounge' section
Pulled tyres off alloy rims and fitted them to stock rims (not ready to fit drum front end into bike yet, it really for the second one, when I get frame painted)
 Steering very 'light'/'twitchy' with 90/90 front and 110/90 rear on 1.6 and 1.85 rim.
 May drop pressure slightly and see if it makes a difference?
 Did about 50 miles this afternoon, got a 1 min vid of the only series of bends in 10 miles of Orlando (actually have a couple but this is reasonable time)
Accidentally switched camera off going the other direction which kinda sucks as it was a 'better' run through .
 Hell of a lot of fun though

I like the shadow on the bank near the end of the video, great quality footage.
Had to stop myself from shouting ' Mate! you're on the wrong side of the road!' lol

[Sonreir]

I had to check the member map just now to see where you were living, Erskine.  There's a lot of folks from Wales on here.  I used to live in Chepstow, myself (though I'm a Yank).

[bdn3d]

You think the camera footage is awesome, I was behind him and watching him fade away in the distance, the camera does not do that road justice, very fast for a 360 through there!!!

Funnily enough I was in Chepstow yesterday afternoon! There seems to be some good pubs there.

[Sonreir]

Yeah... I used to drink at The Boat when I was in Chepstow, but usually went out to the Tan House in Shirenewton though.
