Thanks! The look of my bike will be quite similar to that but with a humped seat and 70s style street tires. As for handlebars, what I'm calling superbike bars ( I think I have the terminology right) are pretty much the same as MX bars but without the brace across the middle, and maybe a bit...

Instrument Cluster One thing I was surprised by when I was dismantling the bike was the massive bracket mounted to the triple clamps. It held everything in front of the handlebars, including the instruments, ignition switch, headlight, turn signals and horn. That bracket by itself probably...

Rear Fender You can see in the first picture of the thread that the rear fender is an angular thing that wraps a long ways around the back of the wheel. I wanted tuck the fender up but keep the finished tail end. The rear section of the fender looks like this: I cut about 6 inches out of the...

Thanks for checking out the thread. Clubmans or clip-ons would definitely go with any change to the foot pegs, but I doubt I'll go that route. I actually bought some clubmans early in the project, but after fitting them on the bike I could tell they weren't going to be at all comfortable. I...

Frame I tried not to get too carried away with the angle grinder. Kept: Loops on lower subframe Right passenger peg bracket/muffler hanger Shock mounts Airbox tabs Center stand brackets Swingarm and bushings Steering head and bearings Removed: Seat lock and hinge brackets Left passenger peg...

Front Fender I wanted a smaller front fender. The original CJ fender, a big plastic affair, was cracked down the middle of its length, so using it wasn't a viable option. I ordered another ebay special, this steel fender, supposedly for a Suzuki TN250 or some such. Not surprisingly, the...

Design Decisions From the beginning I had some definite ideas about how this project should look when it's finished. Keep the original CJ tank. I don't get why so many projects switch to a CB tank. Keep the "root beer float" color scheme and the rockered Honda wing decals (from the 86 Magna) on...

I've been lurking around DTT and other forums for a while, learning what I can as I work on my own CJ360 build. After almost a year, I'm getting into the home stretch, so I thought I'd put up a build thread to show some of my work. This won't be a step-by-step record because I couldn't be...

Hi Ninja, I've read your whole build thread and it's great. You've got some really experienced people giving you pointers, so hats off to them too. You've done some pretty cool stuff with that 360. I'm doing my first build on a CJ and I'm learning a lot from your thread. I'm staying with stock...

Thanks Sonreir, I think that's what I'll do. My throttle return has always been kind of sluggish, but I've got new cables for this project so hopefully it will snap back nicely without the push cable. Too bad I bought both cables, but it won't be the biggest mistake in my parts bin. ::)

Hey I'm another DTT noob with a similar problem, except my Honda has twin push/pull throttle cables and the aftermarket switch clusters all seem to be for single cables. In your case I would think you can cut your own threads into the hole using a tap. Google "tap and die" if you're not...

Hi there, I started riding when I was 15 and was an avid street rider through my late teens and twenties. I stopped riding after I started a family, then got back into it 6 years ago at age 48. Now my daily driver is a Moto Guzzi California Stone and I love it. I'm joining DTT now because I'm...

Hi, longtime lurker, first time poster. This isn't strictly an electrical question, but... I want to replace the original handlebar switches on my CJ360 with generic ones from ebay. I'm finding that most of them are designed for one throttle cable only. Can anyone point me to a low-price switch...
