    74' CL360 Ignition & Electrical Suggestions

    I have the CB360 for 74. It only has one condenser, which is mounted above the right side coil under the tank. I am in a similar boat as my harness is in shambles. Anyone have a super simple diagram that just does ignition, charging, and starting duties?

    What do you think of these CB750F1 gauge faces?

    Clean and sharp. I've been thinking of doing something similar with some old gauges I have lying around. Certain sporty tank/frame paint combinations could really make these faces pop.

    Love it. Just ran new fuel lines, new bars, and lowered the gauge package and lights on mine. Its looking good, but it still looks stock for the most part.

    Yeah. Me too. But the worst part is I am still addicted! It must be that dirtbike training I have, where falling down is just part of the game. I mean, it wasn't the first time down, and I was more upset that my steed got scratched and I missed out on bike night with my guys then I was at...

    I went shopping for some clips on and have been chasing a standard tank around town. There are 'rumors' that someone has one. I love the chase, every salvage and performance shop recommends the next. o_0 I'm also ordering up fuel line and odds and ends. Thanks for all your help...

    I have been shopping around for parts and want to go with some clip-ons. Which ones are you guys running and do you have any recommendations? Does 37mm upper fork diameter sound right? On another note, can the special tank can be interchanged with the standard tank without any modifications...

    Wow. Both those bikes look great. Glad to see there are at least a few more 11's on DTT. Now I'm definitely going to do some work on mine. Like I said, I only hesitated because its practically mint and I have two other Cafe bikes in the works, so I didn't feel too pressured to start wrenching...

    My first bike was the 79 XS1100 Special. That makes me sound old, but I'm actually 20. Go figure. Its a great bike and of course I still have it. I have been distracted with a few others and need to redo the fuel lines. I considered doing something Cafe with it, but hesitated because its in...
