CL350 / CB360 "The Collision"

[rizzlo34]

So, I have a 1972 CL350 that is in fair shape...(runs, but needs some help). I also have a CB360 that not in too bad of shape, but I haven't even tried to get it running. I bought both bikes about a year ago, and am just now beginning the cafe process. I plan to use the frame of the 360 with the engine of the 350, and make my own swingarm with an R6 mono-shock.

I can really use either engine, but from what I have gathered on this site, the 350 engine is a better platform to start from? Any opinions on this are welcome. I have created a few sketches of what I want the bike to look like, so let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions.

your going to have to extend that swinger a lot to have it look like your sketch. that, or be scrunched up in a really uncomfortable position.

i hope you know what your doing with the mono conversion. do it wrong and you can get seriously injured, or worse, the bike could be ruined!


looks fun though. will be following.

as for 350 in the 360 frame... it fits, its a good motor to start from, etc... your just going to have to make your own mounts for it. lower is better.
