Thank you beachy.
Should I start posting progress here or use another forum heading? Here goes anyway....
Started tentatively stripping the arse end to get a feel for what would work.
Mocked up a cardboard seat, nice.
Complex suspension is complex....yikes!!
Let's go a bit further....
My 'to do' cleaning list
Turned out nice...
Debreased, rubbed down, zinc'd then rattle can stainless steel wheel paint and detailed fins. Pleased with that finish, that'll do.

The more companies around the more Cafe Racers on the road !!!!!!!
NR - it's a good plan to duplicate your build in the main postings. A lot of UK based DTT'ers aren't even aware of the DTT/UK section.

Loosely, Tracker might suit [ there's a lot of "crossover" builds there ] - or there is the "Specials" section.

I've only just seen the UK section of DTT...
I'm in Oxfordshire too, near Bicester, so halfway between NoRiders and fast wooly! And I'm building a cafe racer Moto Guzzi V50 II atm. I'll get a post up soonish, once I've got her on the road, means I can avoid most of the 'helpful' people being unhelpful!

Hi everyone!
I'm pretty new to the DTT forum, and my winter project is a CB360 cafe racer.
'Phase 1' well underway with wheels and forks rebuilt, clip ons, LED lights, 'shaved' seat foam, revised electrics with new charge regulator and lithium battery....
Here's the before and after shots!
Next it's engine out for painting , I wanted to run it a little to find any initial problems, couple of the usual oil leaks to deal with when its out but nothing major I hope!
I'm in Surrey, so hero to meet any nearby DTTers in the spring when bike is roadworthy again!

The little Honda is coming back together nicely, apart from a weird oil leak that is!
Engine back in, exhausts wrapped ( don't really like wrap but they're very tatty and wrap looks ok!)
Cleaned out the tank with por15, but think I need a new peacock as even after cleaning there is hardly any flow.
Latest pic attached to keep the interest up!

The lithium battery is working great so far.
I did the charging mod and reg rec upgrade, as the PO had fried half the electrics .......
I've also replaced every bulb with LED, so power usage is minimal now except the starter.
Will report back when the bike is back on the road, April 1 hopefully!
