Hello Can anyone confirm if the circled tabs are needed, if not I'm gonna grind them. I think the right tab is the bracket for chain guard which I don't plan on running so can I loose it? What's the tab on the left? Some kind of chain guide, is it needed? Thanks Matt

Re-posting in Suspension. Evening, managed to get all the bushings from my swingman. Couldn't press the suspension bushings out so cut them, and couldn't drive the pivot bushings out so also cut them. Looking to get the bronze bushings for rebuild...

Top stuff thanks, got the inner steel bushing out easy enough by pressing it out, just need a drift long enough to knock the plastic bushings out. Any recommendations on where to get replacement bronze bushings? Thanks

Hi, I've seen lots of posts on cb360 swing arm bushings but never seen a swing arm like mine.... I assume the bushings at the rear can be pushed out using the threaded rod and washer trick used by many... But what about the bushings at the front where the arm joins the frame have you seen...

Hi Bill, I had the same issue, I used the broom handle trick, check out this post http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=66199.0 Hope it helps.

Cheers, good job I checked! I've sanded with a 120 grit flap disc, is there anything I can use to get a smoother finish? Will wet 'n dry work?

Hello, First attempt at grinding and de-tabbing on my build, before I tore it down I'd marked parts for removal however I'm starting to second guess myself, I marked the tab circled below for removal but now I'm thinking this is the bracket for the rear brake switch. Can anyone help or confirm...

Thanks guys some good ideas hopefully will have time this weekend to mock something up...

Hi I'm going to build a battery tray under my brat style seat for my cb360 build. I will run the sparck moto reg/rec unit, now can I put this in the enclosed battery tray or will the unit get to hot with no air flow? Should I mount in direct airflow to keep it cool or provide some ventilation...

Had the forks on my CB360 skimmed and rechromed, would probably have been cheaper to have purchased new tubes after I factor in the traveling to and from the chromer but hey-ho. I used http://www.pittedforks.co.uk in Luton, UK. I also got to see someone's custom build no idea who it belonged...

Let me know how the stock foot rest position and clip-ons work out for you, I'm planning on the same setup maybe with clubman bars. Looking fantastic though, great inspiration.

Not rebuilt them yet waiting to have the tubes re-chromed, I'll post an update when they're done.

Here's my VW

Thought I'd post this comparison of soda vs vapour blasting. I originally had my head soda blasted as a complete unit but then I had to tear the head down and buy a new head and cover which were in a bad way aesthetically so I took the chance to have them vapour blasted. Both heads were...

Hi Picked up some EZ install fork seals for my CB360 but they seem a little too easy to install and pop out, considering the trouble I had getting the originals out. Anyone have an opinion on these (see video post) https://youtu.be/_HhrO2X-ehc Cheers Matt

Evening... Anyone following my build might remember I had to get a new head and cam, I'd had the old knackered one soda blasted with pretty good results, then I had to get a new head off eBay which was pretty grotty so while it's in bits I decided to try aqua blasting. The head has valves in...

I'm in the UK this place is close to me http://www.pittedforks.co.uk/

The forks are badly pitted so I needed to totally dismantle them to send them for skimming and re-chroming. I did notice that the rebound springs circled in the picture below are missing from my forks, should they be there on all models? I can get replacements cheap enough just wonder if I...

Cheers, used the broom handle trick to hold the inside tube in place

Hi all Working on cb360 front forks, dismantled one fork but can't get the allen bolt at bottom out of the other, I assume the bolt is just spining the inside tube it's threaded to, is there a trick to prevent that and actually loosen the bolt? Thanks Matt
