Its really just a matter of whether or not those engines have the guides inside them and wether or not those guides are usable. You can run the recall guides as long as you keep very strict on maintenance.
And fork seals arent a bad little project.
She could be a nice looking little machine..I like that tank.
Download the manual I gave you...clymer isnt worth a crap. simply compare the carb section and the carbs your honda came with. I dont understand why they wasted the ink printing honda 360 on the cover.
Okay, manuals downloaded. I'm going to cut my teeth on engine work removing the recall-updated guides from the other engine and generally taking it apart.
On an unrelated note, I'm probably going to get the frame powder coated sometime in the next couple weeks... Silver or black?
I'm going for something in between the two bikes below... I scored a pretty decent original seat for $50 today, but I still have a bug 'ol hunk of aluminum for a seat pan if I change my mind. I'm going to hold off on the powder coating until I get the seat in and make a decision. Opinions??
This is the non recall, low milage engine. Some guy went a little overboard with the liquid gasket... I'll be careful about the little pieces, I know they can clog up oil passages.
Sticking to black, chrome, polished metals, maybe with some brown leather accents.
I think I'm gonna go silver, if only to let people know its been freshly powdercoated.
I plan on selling the bike a little after the build. At least, that's what I keep telling everybody...
I think I'm going silver frame. Got quotes all around town for blasting/powder coating.
The most expensive was $450
The cheapest was $150
I went by the motorcycle shop next to my house that restores old Triumphs and they actually recommended the guy who gave me the cheapest quote, so I guess I'm going with that.
Also, they told me I could use their sandblaster for small stuff
If you plan to sell keep a detailed log of your costs because chances are you will only break even. I've played that game on a few bikes and wish I could get them back because I did all the work and made an extremely small amount. 360s just don't bring much cash even in great condition. Lots of people post for high prices but the bikes that actually sell seem to go for a lot less. Just my two cents that no one asked for.
No, I totally agree. I'm trying to only fund this via selling old stuff. I used to collect old spyderco knives and have a lot of crap I don't need. Already have almost $500 in the paypal account for starting money.
Seat, gasket set, Allen head bolts, a threaded m3 rod so I can make the little tool from the tensioner recall supplement. And a clutch plate (why not)
This is what the seat looks like on the bike. I think I'm liking the lines. Decided I'm going to go with black on the frame powdercoating. Might make my own shiny side covers out of aluminum.
This is what looking in the exhaust port looks like on both engines... So I guess I'm gonna be taking them BOTH apart. Also, here are some pictures of my workspace. No garage, justs a wood paneled man cave.
Also, I've laced the front wheel improperly twice now. Dummy. I got so frustrated last time I may have bent a couple spokes... I didn't realize how tricky it was. Gotta start right or you don't realize you messed up until the end
It's even more rediculous because I have an already laced front wheel to look at and compare to...
