that looks good. I think you can buy the wrap already hollow for this purpose too.

Thanks.
You can buy the loom, and you can get cloth covered wires. But I'm cheap and over budget, and I got the wire for next to nothing from the cut off bin at work and I had the spools of paracord already.

The whole damned thing is looking really cool.
And the extra touches will push it over the top.
things are getting awesome, dude.

I dont think I would want to ride a hard tail, regularly. But, it sure would be cool to have sitting in the garage so I could show it off to my buddies.

the fuel line is cool too, but dude, your gonna have to do something better than ty-wraps.

I'm going to get some better clamps for the fuel lines. It's on the list.

I've been doing my wiring with connectors from VintageConnections.com I purchased the "single bike" bullet kit, crimper and wire stripper. I have to say the tools are quality pieces. Makes proper crimps. Came with a cheat sheet, on how to make make the best crimps possible.

I would highly recommend there tools/ connector kits, to anyone looking to do a "proper" wire harness! It makes it look like I know what I'm doing!

Finially got my bike out of the basement and outside. Lights work as there suppose to. Haven't had a chance to try to fire it yet. Hopefully tonight I can get it to pop off!
Tomorrow it is off to a bike shop in town for custom cables to be made

Bucky, go accept the June BOTM nomination as soon as someone seconds it, which should only take 5 mins or so LOL.

Edit:

It took less then 1 min.

Here is my bike next to my buddy's stock cb360.. I want to try to get some better side by side pictures soon. When I bring it to work, I'm going to weight my bike. It feels quite a bit lighter than in its stock form

The only thing that I would like to see is a bigger tire on the rear!

Awesome build ;D

OH, thats a big ass HELL TO THE NO! I love this style w the skinny stock rear tire. Any asshole can buy an "orange county chopper" build. Yours looks like the Real vintage deal. A fat tire, simply screams, skinny peter.

I have to admit bud, I made myself chuckle w that one.

The build is as sweet as one can get. I had a 4.5 inch on mine a couple years ago. It was heavy, not as quick and got half the gas milage. I will absolutely respect any future tire decision you make for the machine. But, I believe the skinny rear tire makes it a "stand out" in world of obnoxiously fat tires...meant to be "stand outs".

Getting my vote. Not simply because I have a soft spot for 360s, but because its a really neat machine. And you did a superb job on her.
Now that you got her running, If you find you would like to talk carbs, I would be happy to do so. Im not a know it all. I will admit I dont have any experience w stacks, Sonreir would be a good go to guy for that.

Absolutely beautiful bike man - I agree on the skinny tire. Its not what is being done these days and it looks mean as hell.
