I see lots of progress since christmas! Like the way the brite work has cleaned up and the contrast of the black breather and starter covers. Carbs turned out great, float bowls look nickel plated in that one photo! Hmmmm.....that color for the tank we talked about......don't know how it will...

I use AutoCad every day and have been using it since it came on the market. Now, the amount that that I know about the inner workings of AutoCad could probably fit on a pinhead but here goes..... What you need to understand is that when you insert an item within a drawing, you've created a path...

Today was a banner day......CB360 project made it to the road for a ride ;D

I'm putting the clutch cam assembly back in my CB360 project and am wondering if the cam should be completely threaded back onto the adjuster screw. Not sure if this will effect the adjustment once reassemblied. Any comments/recommendations, my manual is not specific.

I just bought 2 sets thru JC Whitney. I think they we're $8.00 apiece. Several different sizes available. Their chromed and have 2 locking screws on each side with a 1/2" hole for mounting. Search under "frame bracket", I think. Dennis Kirk also has them. SkiMan

That video is pretty slick. I bet if you soaped up the outside face of the plastic bag abit that if would slide on even easier and also be easier to pull out from between the rim and mounted tire.

Rocan.... thanks for your imput; What I'm trying to accomplish is......... Use a smaller tube (at least smaller then muffler and probably same size as header) to give me more clearance for rear sets and associated connecting rods as well as a smaller profile. I happen to also like the looks of a...

Another question in regards to building your own pipes. I want to extend the length of my pipes but when looking at the Columbia River site I see that they have a number of different guages of tubing, what guage have you guys been using. I don't really need to go the stainless route as I'm going...

I guess I'm just getting old but.......what the hell was that a ad for?

Ordered some aluminum and steel metric rod from McMaster-Carr on Wednesday afternoon and it was on my door step Thursday afternoon. They only charged me $5.00 for shipping. These guys have got a wide range of raw metals as well as parts and product for the industrial type. Not a motorcycle...

Re: Snow report: where and how much?? I've still got to complete my CB360 build and then its on to the XS360 but the usual ride is a FJ1200 Understand the no painting, everything just about comes to a halt for me as my shop is not heated, so......... It's Ski Season ;D

Re: Snow report: where and how much?? Manchester, easy access to 91 north and Vermont

Re: Snow report: where and how much?? Here in Connecticut, at least at my house, about 6" on the ground but what the hell.....it's SKI SEASON. Taking tomorrow off, my daughter and me are going up to Vermont for a day of skiing. Acouple more weeks and she goes back to school so we've got to get...

Thanks for the sources guys. I'll check these out. While I would like to use aluminum, I don't think that there is the availability in metric sizes like there is in the steel rod sizes. SkiMan

I'm looking for just plan straight metric steel rod. I don't want threaded rod as I'm using it for the rear set linkages. I've got the dies for the left and right threads, now I just need the metric rod. Looking for an online source that sells small quantities. SkiMan

Does anyone have a good source for metric steel rod? Using metric dies on standard rod just doesn't do it. Looking for 5, 6 and 7 mm in 3 or 4 foot lengths. Haven't been successful in tracking any down here in Connecticut. Purpose..... making some new linkages. SkiMan

PJ, just had to let you know that I found the left hand dies at Victor Machinery Exchange. Exactly what I was looking for at a fairly decent price. Ordered the items late friday nite and they arrived this afternoon (tuesday). Thanks again for the recommendation SkiMan

PJ, thanks for the lead on Victor Machinery. I don't really want to go overboard on the threading stuff ($), but I figure it's worthwhile having as I got another project waiting in the wings. Thanks again SkiMan
