The project:
I picked up a one owner '74 CB360 w/title about 2 weeks ago (non-disc brake) with 7,000 miles for $500. Put about 100 miles on it so yes it runs - lol. I wanted a 550 or 750 but this was a smash of a deal on a great bike (i think) so here I am. The CB400 I just sold is WAY to nice to turn into a cafe project and that is why I never had the heart to do it.
The concept for this build:
Simple, clean, no nonsense, no extras, and nothing without a purpose... This will not be a daily rider and this will also not be a track bike (both of which I have or will have covered by spring) Nor will it be a piece of art. I will ride it but do not expect it to be fast, stop quick, handle exceptionally well, or be all that comfortable (comparatively). Its just something I have wanted to do since 2001-2003 and I now have the space/funds/tools/drive to do so. If it is NOT mandatory in Iowa for a motorcycle manufactured before 04-01-1977 then it will not be on this bike (NO signals, horn, tach, mirrors, electric start, spark arrestor, fenders, kill switch, Etc).
Here is the only picture I took before I started tearing it apart (got ahead of myself).
And here it is currently:
