I have a '75 CB360 and replaced all of the controls. The clutch lever and brake master cylinder are from a Kawasaki EX400 Ninja - the clutch lever connects right up to the Honda cable and the master cylinder works perfectly with the disc caliper. The throttle assembly and cables are new from...

Beautiful. I really like the logo. I considered doing my exhaust like yours but found an old header - is yours (too) loud?

I guess adding the email address to send your pics would be helpful, right? ace@cbcaferacer.com

I have a website for my own CB360 cafe racer but want to add a gallery of other CB360s. If you're willing, send me a photo of yours and I'll add it to my site. Here's the site: CBCafeRacer.com Thanks in advance!

Beautiful. Great job.

After nearly two years I finally finished my CB360 cafe racer project. Now it's time to RIDE. You can see all the details at a site I built: www.CBCafeRacer.com

I converted my CB360 into a cafe racer and I'm looking for a shorter clutch cable. The clutch itself works great, no problem adjusting it, but with the clubman bars the cable "loops" out too far. Does anyone know of a cable from another bike which might work? If not, I can get the existing one...

I don't know who made the pipes but they're very old, plus they're really for a CB350. I bought 'em off eBay and the seller claimed they were for a 360. They showed up incredibly rusty and pitted, then had to be bent around a little to get them to fit. I had to make my own bracket for...

I finally got my project bike finished and on the road. Aside from the pods and vintage header, the engine is stock. I ran the wiring thru the frame, stashed all of the electronics beneath the seat, ditched the starter, replaced all of the hand controls with pieces from a Kawasaki Ninja and some...

I wanted something a little different for my cafe project, so I found a pair of Honda Hurricane (CBR600) rearsets and made some brackets to adapt them to my CB360 frame. It took a little time but was worth the effort. Instead of adapting the stock rear brake pedal and pull-rod, I build a...

I have a '75 that's been converted to a racer. The first version had stock pipes and Emgo filters. A local tuner (here in Denver) sync'd them (stock jets) and the bike ran good but wouldn't pull in 6th gear. He offered to do the sync again but I decided to pull the entire bike apart for a full...

Pipes for any 360 are beyond rare. I found an old header on eBay for a 360 but much to my disappointment it was for a 350. I took it to a local muffler shop and they were able to bend things around to fit (with some small creases). Keep watching eBay. Something might appear... eventually.

In the orginal film, they stuck with the spirit of the book and gave her a bike that matched. Once again Hollywood felt that Americans wouldn't understand a story that sold millions, and thus screwed around with things. I read the books and saw all of the original films and I'm afraid the...

Merely cast with a slightly rough surface.

Don't worry about the rain. My tattered umbrella shields me from most of it. :) The existing finish is about as far as I want to go. It's not perfect but much better than what I started with. When you look at the old gouges and scrapes, the surface scratches are hardly noticeable. If you go...

I fully agree with ADC's advice - the mirror-like results speak for themselves. Beautiful work. My still-in-progress bike looks great but it's just not a showpiece. Here's how it looked during the second round of changes: Here's what the other side looks like now: I used aluminum...

Some before and after pics. Before: After: Even better: I'm going to give the right-side case another round after stripping off more clear coat. It already looks a lot better than previously but I know I can do better. I'm going to leave the big scratches/gouges in place. It's part of...

Your cases look great but I'm not going for a show finish, just something less aged and gnarled. Mirror-polished wouldn't match the rest of my bike. I've done a fair amount of sanding and smoothing, and the right-side cover turned out pretty good with just electric drill buffing and a final hand...

The engine's internals were taken care of last summer and the bike has a mere 122 miles since then. The case and covers are sealed tight and I don't want to go thru that effort again. It's out of the bike and resting on a milk crate, which makes it easy to reach everywhere. I just bought some...

I have '75 Honda and trying to polish the engine covers without taking them off but the factory coating is a nightmare to remove. I've been using 500 grit wet sandpaper, which works pretty well on the flat surfaces (circular motion) but the little/curved areas are nearly impossible to get to...
