Re: CB360- No Evil
Story so far on 'new' front end'
I'm fitting Yamaha XS650 headlight to Suzuki Katana forks into a Honda CB360 with a Honda CB350 wheel using XS650 rear rim on front 8)
Still in process of making headlight 'ears', but I have finished a few things
Made alloy spacers to center wheel in fork (instead of steel tube and washers in earlier pics)
Front wheel/brake is finally finished. (although I may use brake plate I severely modified? ???)
Made a mounting to fit onto caliper bosses which lifts torque arm so its at a better tangent to drum.
I'm hoping it spreads stress better than going directly to single caliper mount. (safety first ;D)
There will be a torque reaction because brake is over an inch narrower than fork (one inch and fifty thousandths actually :)
I didn't want to use a 0.050" washer so I machined down some inch and a quarter bar (plus, I didn't have any one inch bar )
Suzuki fork uses a fork brace at top to prevent twisting so it should be pretty damn good
Pretty lucky I picked up couple of pairs of Katana forks cheap when no-one wanted them (pre 97 models)
Everything has to be smoothed down and polished and the wheel needs a good shining after sitting around for a few months :
hers some pics.
side on
front 3/4 (with shiny slider ;D)
rear, pretty much hidden behind fork leg. There is over an inch clearance to rim even though it looks like zero in pic
