CB360 Project: Lucky 7even! (still adding) SS brake lines June 17/11

Re: CB360 Project: Lucky 7even! ( April 10/10 small update wheel )

I wanna see this bike with hidden wiring. Damn doesn't it look tidy? Great job so far.

Great work! Looking at that butt pad. Id maybe rib it. Looks alittle too flat. Rib it to match up your fork boots & cooling fins, give it alittle more mean.

Damn dude that thing looks sick! And the X'd headlight is awesome. Can't wait to see it all done!

I am a fan sir. I love what you did with the rear fender.

Are you also staying with the stock color? I love the original painted graphics on these 360's.

Yes the colour will be the stock orange, just hope I can match the colour for the tail/seat.

This bike is so clean and classic! It has been a while since I have stopped to really gaze at you build pics, but man! That thing is just pure love! I want to just put on a leather jacket and prop up on it and start back smoking! I would feel like James Dean or the young Marlon Brando! I LOVE IT! It really makes me want to build oine very similar! Great work and very nice attention to detail!

What paint on the wheels? Take us on a closer journey to the nips? Haha, I mean I wanna see how well you did. Tips on taping the nips? Sounds very SM, but its innocent.

Looks super good man, like no non sense cafe good

"Paint on the wheels" got a little lazy with the tape. :-[
Tip cut tape to nips size, less tape = less tape to peel.
Thanks Curb

Very inspiring. Thanks for taking the time to post. I just got my 450 yesterday and I can't wait to be into it like you are.
 
Re: CB360 Project: Lucky 7even! ( Getting close April 12/10 )

Have you checked out NAPA for matching paint? I know they can match any car with REALLY nice spray can paint, not sure about stock colors for bikes tho...Worth a shot no doubt. Good luck!

And I may have missed it somewhere but did you bend out your own P clamps to mount your rear fender or did you buy 'em somewhere.

Thanks for the tip on NAPA , I used a clamp from the cl360 exhaust, used a hammer to shape it to the swingarm.

CafePete!! This bike is looking great!! I love clean classic styling.

Headlight is mounted really low, no? looks cool there, but will it cause any probs?

(Spooky voice now) Bob the front fender, oooooo, Bob the front fender, ooooo

Seriously though, The fender does look good the way it is and if you choose to leave it I don't think it will detract from the bike at all but I think a bobbed fender would just give it that "attack" pose.
