Just as the title says, post the crazy deals you've found lately! I was getting ready to order a stainless steel Allen bolt kit for my CB360, but Common Motor Collective was out of stock. So, I figured it wouldn't hurt to Google a bit and see if I could find them elsewhere. Lo and behold, not...

Thanks crazypj! I know you're the resident expert with the MikesXS rims, so I was hoping you'd chime in. Just to be sure I understand, should I go with the 3.25 front and 3.5 rear, with a 1.85 front and a 2.15 rear rim? I was hoping to go 2.15 f/r, so if there's a better size combo you'd...

Hey guys, I have a few questions about upgrading the rims on my CB360 project. I'm planning to get a pair of MikesXS 2.15" rims to upgrade from the heavy stock steel rims. However, I'm not sure about what tires to run on them. I like the look of the Coker e70p tires, but their speed rating is...

Hey guys, i have a question about tire/rim sizes on my CB360. I'm totally sold on on the Coker e70p tires, and planning to get MikesXS shouldered aluminum rims. The 3.25 and 3.50x18" e70p's are recommended for use with 1.85-2.00" rims. The MikesXS rims only come in 1.85" and 2.15". If I went...

I'm planning to start one this weekend, actually. I wanted to have something to show before I did, don't want to come off like a poser. Just got the bent frame stripped down tonight, aside from the fork and front wheel. Hoping to get a decent bit done this weekend.

Yeah, okay, and just ditch the fenders and fork brace too, right? And run three sizes bigger tires, because they "can" fit. ;D

More pics! The bottom pic shows how the frame is bent.

Alright, so tonight was productive, though only for planning my attack, lol. I made a checklist of parts I'll definitely need, as well as those I might need, depending on the shape of the stock parts once they're cleaned up. Tomorrow night begins the teardown of the far bike, and...

Well, here they are! Its a basket case at the moment, but I'm working my way through. :D

Got most delivered this morning, though there's a few things he has to gather up that he can't get to currently (dude is a total gearhead, so there's a couple of engines in the way, lol.) CB exhaust, new carbs, new chain, and a few other bits. Planning to get all that Friday after work. At least...

Sorry for the necropost, but the deal is FINALLY done, I'm now the proud owner of 3 cb360s! My buddy who had them works construction, so we were having a hard time making our schedules line up so I could go check them out. Luckily, he knew how excited I was about them and was happy to sit on...

Thanks for the tip about common-motor.com, LOTS of useful stuff there! Can you link me to Trek's blog? I can't find it.

Far out, looks like I came to the right place! I think I'm gonna go for it. Plus, my pops just moved back into town, and he's got buku experience with these old Hondas. It'll make a good father/son bonding project, since we never had a chance to do anything like this when I was a kid. Should...

Yeah, I've read all about the top end oiling and cam chain tensioner issues, definitely something I plan to keep my eye on. I figure worst case, part em out... best case, I get a fun bike to learn on. Thanks for the advice! Any other opinions?

So I've been bitten by the cafe racer bug, and have been searching for a good project bike to start with. First, this will be my first bike, so please bear with me. I was initially looking for a CB750, but with no leads, I had to look at other options. Then a local bike guy found me a trio of...

Hello all! As stated, I'm a complete newbie, though I've been lurking the forums for some time now. Lots of good info, and BEAUTIFUL bikes here, and now I've got the itch BAD. Looking forward to picking up my first project this weekend, and I'm sure I'll be asking lots of questions and needing...
