Re: It came in a box... First build 1974 CB360t
1.60" rim (WM1) is way too narrow to use a 100 section tyre
It's the measurement of the inside where tyre bead fits not the overall width
Rear rim will be WM2, (1.85") I usually fit it to front and get a new WM3 (2.15") rim for rear
Many people have used way oversize tyres on narrow rims but bike will not be as stable as it should and tyres will not last very well because they become taller with less contact as beads are 'pinched'
To be honest, even the 90/90 is slightly too wide for 1.60 rim but it seems to work OK (not as well as when it's fitted to a WM2 or WM3 though)
The handling difference with correct rim is noticeable

Link didn't work
Mikes XS rims are real good value and fit
You need 36 hole for stock 360 hub (stock on XS650)
http://www.mikesxs.net/products-56.html#products
scroll down page, non-shouldered (stock looking ) 2.15x18 black anodized
I have the weights somewhere, the wider alloy rim is lighter than the stock steel one by about 1lb
You can use WM 3 front and rear (2.15) if you don't mind spending a bit

1974 CB360 "reassembly" box build
Welp, teehee, I went ahead and ordered a 2.5
Got the 1.85 rim laced to the front hub.
Soooo... anyone want a black 1.6 rim or a spoked 1.6 wheel without bearings?
Gotta sell some more stuff to fund this build. Next to go is an old recurve bow, a digital camera, and an xbox 360.

Couple of people measured the outsides of rims and thought they were OK :
I had to go back and look through ad to find the 2.5 rim.
It's a hell of a deal, Buchannan's were $200.00+
You'll have to scroll down a bit but there's a pic of Brendon's 360 with 90/90 front and 110/90 r on WM3 rims (in fact there are quite a few pics of his bike on various pages)

It came in a box... First build 1974 CB360t
Did some work on the fender, which I'm not sure is from a 360 but I think can be made to fit...
Did the first cut with the dremel, rough shaping with bench grinder, and final touches with the hand file... Almost happy with it. Symmetry is a bitch.

Fuel tap, one line is probably cross over to the other side of tank then you have one line to each carb.
Top mudguard looks like mounting for 500/550F, there should be a couple of 'top hat' spacers to fit into the rubber grommets
I remove them and rigid mount brace to prevent forks moving around, 1/4" spring washers fit into the hole
