Build thread of a honda 360 café.
Hi all! I'm Joris, from Belgium. I' ve been working on a honda cj 360
Since a couple of months now. I thought it would be great to post the build here and receive Some comments on the progress.
The base is a honda 360 , stripped down by the previous owner. I bought it for 200 dollar. So it was in boxes, only the exhaust and the front fork were missing.
Work so far:
- modified cb125 tank, with fuel cap of a cb350 tank. The original one is too big in my opinion)
- stripped frame
- Hagon chocks for the rear
- cagiva sp525 front fork, i picked this one as the length is the same as the original and the power and weight of the bikes are comparable.
- triple tree modified to fit the frame
- wider rim for the rear wheel (cb750)
- engine was partly rebuild by a honda mechanic 3000 km ago. The bike only has 38000 km. So I won't be changing anything to the engine. I will however rebuild the carbs. Any suggestions on how to tune them up a bit would be great.
Next steps:
- modify front hub to fit the fork. I only need to take a little of it and make Some bushes and a new shaft to line it up. My dad will help me with this as he works in a company that specializes in Cnc work.
- make a seat. Colleague of mine will help me make it out of polyester. Hopefully we can make it look like the seat on kott his red pearl. I will atempt to integrate the rear light into the seat.
- position the footpegs. I only have experience with a small 125cc bike so I won't be making it too extreme.
By then a few weeks/months will have passed.
Any suggestions are welcome, i see a lot of great builds here and a lot of knowledgeable people!
