this might be basic for most of you, but i'm a noob, i snapped my clutch cable on my cb 360 , is it something a shop has to replace, or can i try to install, the bike is sitting on the street now,

You can do it. With a service manual it's an easy job (if you don't have a manual get one while you're waiting for the cable to come in)

And by the street you mean in front of your place right? Not still on Lakeshore? ;)
 
yeah it's on a side street off the lakeshore, i have a clymer manual, should that be enough, do they usually have to order a clutch cable?
 
Depends I suppose... you need the right length with the right ends... I don't know anything about the CB360 specifically but it's a rare day when I head into a parts shop and find what I need in stock.

Now it doesn't have to be a Honda part specifically... but it does have to be right for the bike. Check out your local shops and hope someone has the part in stock.

To give you an idea on price.... here's an eBay one...

thanks canadaDan, i'll check the shop first thing, i've also have a donor 360, if they don't have the cable in stock i can also try taking it off the donor bike, i have to move fast , i don't want the bike towed,it's about 5ks from my house or i'd try pushing it,

The donor bike cable should get you home... if not rent a pick-up or a trailer if you can tow it and go get it... cheaper than the towing fee.
 
Cripes.... Why did't you just call me.. I live literally down the street from there...

hey dood.
i think you should get a CAA membership. i'm getting one for my trip this weekend. it's like $126 for the premium package which includes 5 calls for the year, 350 KMs of towning etc. you can use it on any vehicle you own or you are a passanger in. i'm going down to the office today on King and Yonge.

make sure it's premium, cause that only way they will send a flat bed, you dont want know what a tow truck will do to a bike, you like cruched crank cases?

There's no choice of what type of truck they will send but you can try and request a flatbed. Just tell them you need a truck for a bike and they send something appropriate whether it's a flatbed, cradle or harness. All of them work fine and won't damage your bike. I've always had CAA Premium and it comes in handy. You can even use it to tow your bike from your home to a shop, you don't need to be broken down on the road.
 
yeah i will for sure get that, sounds like a great idea, maybe when i get back, thanks dhani for the clutch cable , but it wasn't that simple, we had hope, i have a brand new one for you when you get back,noel tried to fix it but no go, i might be looking for a 550, it's got to be in amazing shape, i can't deal with being stranded any more,

found a 550 on CL that looks pretty rad. it's almost the exact same as mine, sans k pipes. however, the guy is completely out of his mind and asking $4500.
i would find some similar listings and email them to him. most of these bikes are between $700 and $2000.

are you coming out tomorrow???

I agree. Even if that bike has 100km on it and is in showroom condition no one is going to pay that much for a 550. Maybe a very clean Black Bomber would fetch that much. Old Hondas are cool but there's very little collector value.

yeah i saw that bike earlier , the ad i mean, it's got an re done seat, anyways it's an retarded price,thanks for looking for me , tomorrow i'll be camping in algongouin,
i'll sort it out when i'm back,
 
WOW.. I totally agree.. a stock bike like that wont fetch more than $2500, unless its a cafe racer like mine with a custom seat and a sexy tank that could easily get $5500...LOL!!!.. especially now that is has a British tax disk holder on the front left fork, with a real british 1975 tax disc in it!! ;D
