Re: CB360 Cafe Project *Engine Time*
frogman, that is some sweet inspiration. That's a similar paint scheme as what I'll be doing. I'm leaving the cases unpainted and lightly polished, along with the side covers. Jug will be black and everything up from there I'm painting with the Dupli-Color Aluminum paint. If the paint on the head clashes with the polished cases, I guess I'll have to paint the cases too.
BTW, frogman, I saw the "contraceptive" you found in your engine, in your build thread. Pretty amazing. Everytime I build an engine, I'm always afraid of lint clogging things up. You always here those stories of guys being "so meticulous", wiping everything down, then grenade. The last engine I did, I must have pulled the filter screen like every other ride. lol.
stonenck, I got my cam chain from Les and The Vintage Advantage. He has some ebay auctions for several other cb models, except for the 360. I just asked if would take a couple of links out, then rivet it together for a couple of extra bucks. He's suppose to bill me for it today, so I'm not sure what the total cost will be. I'm sure it will be fair.
FYI, the cb750, cb-77, cb-450, (maybe more), all have 94 links in the chain. The 360 has 92L. They are all 219T type chains. So, if you have a chain splitter/riveter, you can just buy one of the more common ones, get a rivet type master link, and remove a couple of links.
I also talked to Western Hills Honda/Yamaha in Ohio yesterday, they had one cb360 cam chain in stock for $69. I'm already over budget, so I went with Les, which his list for $35 + shipping.
