STUNT BIKE - CB360

[Swagger]

Lovely paint work mate!
What kind of rear shocks are on it?

[stript.714 o/c]

Yo dude your Engine is insane looking!!!, Tell me about the velocity stacks, where did you get them, and how many jet sizes did you jump on running those??

[Rusnak_322]

I will have to find where I got the stacks from. They were under $30 for the pair and are meant for a aircooled VW car motor.


The shocks are el-cheap-o ebay specials. I don't want to drop a lot of money on the shocks until I get the bike done and know that I am going to like riding it as much as I like building it.


I need help - I got these headlight mounts but they push the headlight out too far. I can't find any that keep it in closer that I like or that don't cost a mint.









Here are some more random pics from last night:


the center stand is just temp - that is why it is not cleaned up.



















here is my speedo face I had made from a guy on this site - the blue light is a LED that I had left over from another project. I am using it for a neutral light. I still need to polish the top triple clamp.

one quick thing man. when powdering swingarms be sure you remove those bushings in the swing arm... the heat just ruins them... they look fine but break down shortly after riding... you can press them out with some sockets in no time

and for the love of god get some powder on that center stand! loving the build man

I've got a set of Cerani headlight ears just like those but half the length.
I'll trade you....just gotta dig'm up.
PM if you're interested...

It looks so small!









This is an issue - the kickstart lever clears the rearsets fine, but then it gets stuck under them. Am I missing something simple here?













Look at the battery, don't look at my feet.

that is paint. I didn't power anything.

the center stand isn't staying. I just put it on to make it easier to work on. The tires are so much taller that with the center stand down both front and rear are hitting the ground. That is with the shocks at stock length and the forks dropped way to much in the triple tree.

ahh sorry man! i though i read your frame was powdered so i figured the same on your swing arm... on your kick starter you thought of cutting it and just shorten it up

[Rusnak_322]

Here is the headlight that I used. I had not seen one before on a bike, but recently I have seen it on a few threads.

Looking good, man!  I must say I am quite partial to your color choices!

You suck.
I have been working on this for a year and you have your bike come out at the same time with a red frame, same light and a white tank and seat!
Good thing your speedo face that you made for me came out so well.

[Sonreir]

To be honest, it's gonna be my bike looking like a cheap knock-off next to yours.  I put almost all my time, effort, and money into the engine.  That, and this being my first build and experience with body work has led to a less-than-perfect finish.

I'm actually wishing I used your speedo design on my own bike as well.... HA!

I am hoping that I am just doing something wrong. It is also getting stuck under the loop for the pass peg mount, and that can't be right.

I have only tried to start it one day, then I found out the petcock is leaking really bad so I am waiting on the rebuild kit to come in. (it did start on the 10th kick - but the first eight kicks I was so excited that I had forgotten to turn the key on).


One thing that just came to mind - I did use the CL kick starter because it had less rust. I didn't look at it yet, but could it be longer or different in some other way?
