CB360 Cafe'08

Hello,

Here a short summary of my CB360 cafebuild!!

Bought It like this:

Completely teared it down!


Vervolgens alles stap voor stap gaan restaureren en reviseren! En dus ook opnieuw spuiten / poedercoaten, dingen naar eigen smaak verbouwen!

Next step, rebuilding the complete bike!! Building it my way!





The complete engine was ruined, 2 broken bearings, camshaft + rockers where a mess.... completely rebuild the engine!!

Old camshaft

Open engine:


New pistons, grinded in the valve's cleaned everything and newed a lot of stuff:
the complete transmission, oil filter, camshaft, rockers, etc....

Rebuilding:




Cleaning:












Rebuild the caliper



My own taste of the speedo!



Cleaned the carburetors with ultrasonic!


Painted the wheels!!! New spokes + tyres!


Rebuild the master brake cilinder.


First build! After this pics a lot of parts went out for powdercoat!


Modified the frame!


Brand new frame 8)


First build:





Different seat:


Cleaned the tank and gave it a nice colour!


Continue on building:




Headlight visor:


Pedestrian cutter!


Modified the exhaust and bought two new megatons!



Started up the engine this week for the first time!! Its not running perfect but I will need to adjust the ingnition!!


After this start the engine stalled with a lot of noise!! Seems like a problem with the chain tensioner!! Same I had earlier!! Hopefully fix that this week and take the bike out for a first ride!!

To do list:
- Finish up the seat.
- Blinkers
- Buy a front fender and add the pedestrian cutter
- bring the hub and rims out for powder coat!! And put in some new wheel bearings!
- sandblast the exhaust, paint them and tape them in with heatwrap!

Add a lot of KM's on the speedo


What do you guys think? ;D

Welcome to DTT

Re: CB360 Cafe'08

Love love love the build man, those tires are bloody awesome! What brand/model/sizes?

Re: CB360 Cafe'08

WOW! Great work, how long has the project taken you?

Re: CB360 Cafe'08

Thnx guys! I'm having this bike for 1,5 year now!! Its taking much to long


Can anyone help me out with a set of 4 rockers and a camshaft for a CB360?

Re: CB360 Cafe'08

my jaw is to the ground! for a second there, i thought this was a few months of work...

looks beautiful... welcome to do the ton... i will be watching this one ;D

Re: CB360 Cafe'08

No it took a lot of work!! Mostly problems with the engine!!

Lucky found out why!!

Finally I know why the engine stalls!! There is a piece missing in the engine,



This holds the chainslipper from getting in touch with the chain!!

I bought another CB360 for the engine!!





Teared the complete bike down:





The engine of this bike is in superb condition and will be used for my bike!! In combination with the new pistons, rebuild head!



Cleaning!




After a lot of cleaning rebuild the engine yesterday

Cleaned!



Olied everything up and a few drops of loctide on the bearing, and put it all together



The fresh crankcase with the missing piece


Rebuild-ed the clutch, oilpump/rotor.



Now I have to wait for the clutchcover to be welded and some parts from the USA and I will place this engine in the bike!!

You are like the "rain man" of motorcycles! Walking motorcyclopedia! I bet you eat ball barrings in a bowl of 30w for breakfast every morning. Your glade plug in scent is cosmoline, you shower in a stream of 93 octaine fuel, and brush your teeth with a rotary tool and some emory polish!

Is there ever a monent that you are not thinking about motorcycles!

YOU ARE MY NEW HERO!

i was thinking the same thing. well, not exactly the same... but i read his post, looked at the picture and thought

"how the hell did he catch that one that quickly"

then i thought about it... and i remembered his vast experience working on these motors ;D

Re: CB360 Cafe'08

Yeah where would we be without people like Crazypj! 8)


Did some work in between the exams.

Sprayed the engine:


Bought a secondhand rockers wich are in perfect condition. In the engine are NOS rockers at the moment I will use them for rebuilding the other engine with a NOS camshaft.





One engine out!



I forgot to make some picture's of the rebuild. But the engine is already in completly! Only thing thats left is the clutchcover, a teacher of mine at school is welding this for me!! There is a little crack just above the oilfilter fitting.

Solved another problem, because I changed the angle of the exhaust the stand(juiste woord voor standaard?) will hit the chain.


I modified the bar on the other side.


Welded in a bolt.

Glued a nut in this piece of rubber with a kind of supermand kit! This is the result


Only a new layer of paint and then its ready!!
Nou nog even spuiten en dan is die klaar, in de toekomst nog eens laten coaten.

Bought a new camera of a friend of mine, canon eos350D made some practice pics of the bike!:



Fitting the bike!





The list is getting shorter and shorter!!

- Start and adjust the engine.
- Finish up the wiring
- Make a new mount for the seat.
- Cover up the seat.
- Mount the exhaustwrap
- Some small details

- Ride a lot of km's!! But there will go something wrong again for the first test ride :twisted: :evil:

Re: CB360 Cafe'08

Excellent work man! Very nice bike!

Re: CB360 Cafe'08

Took a while! But I am back.

Still had some trouble to get the bike running properly. Finally with some help I managed to get the bike running as it should be!

And its sounds like this:

And when I pull the throthle:

Running really smooth! The click your hearing is the choke valve of the carburetors.

Now a few last things and she's ready for a testdrive!

I'd ride it.

But you'd have to turn those tank badges around the right way for me first

awesome work fella. well done

Re: CB360 Cafe'08 *She rides*

Yeah I know, terrible mistake with those tankbadges, their glued on to the tank/paint. So there is no possibility to remove them without daming the tank!

So thats a point thats have to wait

Thnx 8)

Re: CB360 Cafe'08 *She rides*

Hi Guys,

Its been a while since I took a look at this forum! Really busy with school, work and my car! Bike has been on a last place for some while! But where back and the bike is running like hell!
Ready for a new start at the forum! Saw a lot of really cool projects already! That puts a smile on my face!

Did a lot of small stuf; new license plate houlder, new gauges, carbs adjusting, fitted a new fuel tap, etc....
Currently the bike looked like this:





She is almost running perfectly, with the racing filters I couldn't get her running properly! Almost like they cut the air off!

So I bought two racing inlets:


When I got them their where blue anodized, had a lot of trouble sanding them!



Fitted them today, tomorrow I will test them out!


Took the bike out for a ride today!! Finally got her running again! Enjoying the last few sunny days!




Finish touch:



Oh btw, the fuel supply is a pain in the ass, if I fill the filters/hoses and carbs with fuel the bike is running perfectly but after 20 km's the fuel is up and it won't suck fuel from the gas tank.... I already replaced the fuel tap and with an open fuel cap the problem is the same..

Put a fork brace on it.
