Re: 1974 Honda CB360 - Winter Restore to Café Racer (eventually)
Got a couple of new parts in yesterday. Stainless steel bolts for the engine from AlloyBoltz, loving how organized the package is.
Also got me "new to me" tank/seat combo from forum member checko. Awesome guy to buy from, I must say. Packaging was great, I got a free towel, and it got to me in only a few days from payment which includes USPS being closed on Monday.
Although the seat is solid, I'll be making a few changes. The cracks on the sides need repaired and I'll be filling in all the various holes in the rear. I plan to go with a completely different color on the tank and seat, different turn signal setup, brake light, and a side mount license plate. I've never done ANY fiberglass work, but figured "fixing" this will be easier than starting from absolute scratch (and cheaper as well).
Frame obviously needs detabbed now and the rear end shortened. I'll be doing all of that once the seats repaired and ready to go on, my primary concern is still the engine. I just couldn't pass this deal up since my stock tank was dented, petcock leaked a bit, and there was rust on the inside anyways.
