I have been a lurker here the last few months so I finally wanted to share my progress on my first cafe racer build with my 1975 Honda CL360. I picked up this bike back in November and rode it around for a few weeks before tearing it apart. Here is what it looked like at the time of purchase:
I have only been able to work on it during the weekends so the tear down and clean up took many weeks. Finally after it started warming up a bit in the north east I was able to start painting in March and just this past weekend I was able to start putting everything back together.
Here are some pictures of the interesting stuff I have done over the past few weeks. I realize everything I have done may not have been the correct/perfect way to get it done but for my first project I was just looking for something obtainable and that looked like what I had pictured in my mind. I am hoping to get the engine and wiring back into the bike next weekend and I still need to paint the tank. Let me know what you guys think. I think I am going to have to change the license plate mount to somewhere else as it is pretty close to the tire. I should have more pictures to upload in the coming weeks.
