    selling only a title

    As not to get too much into a sad story, I once owned a beautiful '02 Ducati Monster 750 dark. I had it stored away in a garage for the winter at my friend's home. Long story short, their house burned with my bike inside. The worst part is that I took insurance off the bike for the winter...

    Stolen welder - grrrrrr

    So I just moved into a new place and finally have room to finish up my project cb360 http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=19464.0 - yup, it's been awhile. Anyway, everything is good to go except I let a fellow bike builder (not associated with this forum) use my welder in exchange...

    bluing spokes

    I'm getting the rims powder coated black and thought I might just clean up the stock spokes/nipples and blue them. My only issue is that I want to put some kind of protection over this as I live in IL and the humidity, as well as other conditions, would have these things rusting like a mother...

    two into one on a CB360 - asking for trouble?

    So I'm finally getting back into the project and my next big decision prior to getting the frame painted is how I'm going to route the exhaust. I would like to do a two into one setup with a shorty muffler. Am I asking for issues by doing this?

    Moving to Chi-town!

    A company that I interviewed with back in January recently contacted me and made a good offer so I'll be moving to Chicago in a couple weeks. More specifically, I will be looking for a place in Evanston. I'm hoping to get the build as close to done as possible before I move. I know I haven't...

    Another CB360 tire question

    So I'm looking for some new tires to fit my stock 1974 CB360 rims. It seems 90/90-18 front and 100/90-18 rear is the recommended stock tire size. The issue I'm having is finding a tire that has those sizes in a front/rear application within the same tire model. I don't want to spend a ton of...

    how do you take the axle bearings out of the brake drum?

    This is in regard to a 1974 CB360 with front drum. I've started taking apart my front drum brake in anticipation of cleaning her up and reassembling, but I'm stuck. How do I get the bearings out? I want to repack them before I put things back together. It doesn't seem as though they'll press...

    brazing questions

    To actuate the brake light with my new rearsets, I am planning on using a brake cable / housing from a bicycle. To accomplish this, I will need to braze some cable guides and ferruls onto my frame. Problem is, I have never brazed anything before. I do have access to an oxy/acetaline rig, but...

    Oh Craigslist, what would I do without you

    I came across this on the Best of Craigslist section and nearly pissed myself laughing. BMW R100 Damaged Headpipe Charity Ride http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/sfo/1466975470.html and for all my fellow cyclists out there, this one is priceless...

    Australian jacket company

    So a few months back, I remember seeing some jackets from a company out of Australia, but I can't remember who they are. I don't know if it was here or on another forum, but they were offering an introductory rate on their jackets (I'm sure it's long over now). Anyway, from what I remember...

    trust no one

    I found a vintage jacket on Ebay that I want to ask everyone's opinion on, however I don't want one of you to potentially get in a bidding war with with me over it. Just a random thought, but I was wondering if this is something anybody else worries about or maybe I'm just paranoid. I trust...

    Rearsets built with 2003 GSXR pegs

    I decided to build some of my own rearsets as I couldn't find exactly what I wanted in the price range I was shooting for (less than $100). Well, with all the time, trial and errors that went into these I probably should have just bought some and called it a day, but I'm almost done now and I...

    Paint or powder?

    I am nowhere near this point yet, but I figured I would pose the question a few weeks early. I will be rebuilding my wheels and I would like to know if it would be ok to paint rather than powder coat. I know it's done quite often, but I will be putting some time into these things (complete...

    Who can make these stickers/decals for me?

    I want to get a few stickers made for various projects I'm working on (including my cb360 - I envision one of these on the swingarm). I would like to have just the text visible, either printed on a clear background or each letter cut out individually - decal style. They may or may not be...

    laughter aside, petcock rebuild

    OK, so I have no idea where this thing has been, but I don't think I want to know. WTF? I had to dig out all the crap in the crevases around the inlets. Nasty shit. You can see all of the garbage in the screen After drilling out the old brass POS, I replaced it with an aluminum...

    Gas cap rebuild

    because I just cannot leave things alone, I decided to see if I could clean this thing up a bit. The rubber seal was shredded so you won't see it in any pics. This image shows what it looks like before I soaked it in Evapo Rust. At this point I was only going to soak it to get the rust off...

    making my own airboxes for a cb360 with K&N pods

    This is basically a reply to the subject "Intake length and other filter questions" http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=21175.0 , however I felt what I am posting now deserves a more specific heading. I started doing some simple 3d modeling to get my head wrapped around this project...
