Re: 360 bobber/Brat new tires update
Hey Whiteflagwar, while the bearing info is awesome, there are still a couple of other things to consider.
The information below was Found here: http://dotheton.com/index.php?topic=8774.0
Well, unfortunately I've hit a snag with the front end swap. The fork tubes and lowers from the CB750C are too long to work for my application.
I had to slide the forks up about 4" through the trees just to get them to match the stock height of the CB360 forks, nevermind that I had planned to lower them about an inch from stock.
This in and of itself wouldn't have been a deal-breaker (even though my front end looked like a giraffe's head) except that the fork lowers on the CB750C are a good deal taller than the CB360 lowers, reducing my front suspension travel to an unrideable level. I could bottom them out just by pushing down on them with my upper body weight.
So, I've given up on the DOHC forks, even though the leading-axle stup would've provided a little more trail and the air-forks were a nice touch. I've decided to sell them for anyone who's interested.
Instead, I went back to my original plan and picked up a set from an SOHC CB750 off eBay complete with a dual disc setup: calipers, discs and hub. Looks good to me (the top tree isn't pictured but is included). I'll have to wait 'til it arrives but they already look a good deal shorter than the DOHC set -
