Thanks! Once I get the battery mounted, I'll post some assembled front shots of the bike and what she looks like now.

Well, she's done. Now I just have to get her running (and keep running) and rideable.

All black can be done well, and I might even do the same on my next bike, but I just thought this one needed some color. It's just a bit lighter than the face gauges.

I got them from these guys:
http://www.loudfastugly.com/chrmandacc/MDI/mdi.htm
Decent prices and fast shipping. I just sent them an e-mail with what length I wanted, the year/make/model of the bike, my height/weight, and whether I wanted a firm or soft ride. They put the black replacement springs(don't recall which weight) on the sts 300mm eye-to-clevis.

Re: CB360:Back to Japan---> Update 8/17
Maybe so, but I can't exactly give myself the title.
Chris, we are all looking forward to your RD400 brat.
You mean a second rider or just me? I fit fine, but I'm a skinny @ss. 5'11'' and 140 soaking wet with a boney @ss and chicken legs to boot.
I took some pics of the seat as I was making/installing it so I'll probably create a thread in the seat section tonight. It mainly sits so 'proud' b/c I used the stock latch and it doesn't quite want to engage completely. I haven't addressed the issue, but it should lower it about half an inch whenever I get around to it.
Now I just have to get the blasted thing running. I didn't have any issues getting it started when it was in my apt, but as soon as I took it outside I've had problems. I don't know if I just need to rejet or what. Here's the link to my problem:

Chris, didnt you run stock jets on the 360 w/pods and pipes you gave to your bro? I remember you had some Mikunis that you had issues with, but then you put the stock carb back on and worked just fine.

Re: CB360:Back to Japan---> Update 8/17
Battery is fully charged.
Soooo I let the bike sit overnight. Turn the idle screws to the richest setting (all the way in), two kicks and it runs. Let it idle at 1800 for about a min/two w/no problems. It starts to surge to near 3-4k and dips to about 1500 intermittently. I take the choke off a little and it dies, then I can't get it started again after 10 kicks. I pull the plugs and the right one has a little black fluff on it and the left has none except a bit on the electrode.
I'm open to any and all suggestions.
Think I just have to clean the carbs really well and sync 'em?

Re: CB360:Back to Japan---> Update 8/17
Yep, those are Roadriders but I wouldn't know how they are because I can't get my damn bike running.
Help me out guys. I've done/have all the things on this list:
These are with battery fully charged, btw. You've seen my pod/pipe setup.
+ Fully functioning bright spark when kicking.
+ Carbs completely torn down and cleaned.
+ Slides fully functional and floats set to recommended height.
+ 6 months old, clean functional points have proper gaps and timing set to manual specs.
+ New fuel is getting to both bowls/floats.
+ All wires have been checked, rechecked and secured tightly.
+ Oil is at proper level.
No starting at all now. 20-30 kicks and nothing but an occasional sputter. I'm debating putting the electric starter back on just to give my leg a rest.
The bike ran perfectly when I bought it back in February. I took it apart, but didn't touch the motor. Just drained the oil, removed it and set it aside. Put it back together and now it doesn't work.
Any thoughts? What am I missing?
