Christmas is coming and I'm thinking about selling my bike only to start a new project and cover a little Christmas expense. Here is the question.......what do you guys think it will sell for? Not what to list it for but what is a decent selling price. I would think $2500 - $3000. What do you all think? Shoot me straight but don't be rude it is a brat bike not a cafe! It runs perfect.
 
To price your bike, I'd take a look at eBay and do an advanced search for "CL360" and "CB360" checking the "Sold Listings" box. This will pull up auctions that actually finished and should give you an idea about what some people will truly pay for different levels of built bikes. I think a lot of people see bikes for sale on Ebay at $3000+ asking and assume that is fair market value, when in reality a lot of those bikes probably never sell at those prices (at least not in the last year or two).

After figuring out an average sale price for a bike comparable to yours, I'd take the eBay Motors listing fee of $125 off the top and list it for that amount OBO on your closest 3-5 Craigslist locations. Since you want to sell it quick you probably don't want to wait a week or more for some eBay bidder to pay then have to work with them to arrange shipping.

Your bike is definitely cool so I think you could get $2500 eventually (like in Spring when everyone suddenly wants to ride) but if you need to pass it off in a short time frame you may need to be prepared to go down to $2000 or below. Harsh truth for many of us here on DTT but it is atypical for someone to sell a customized vintage Honda for the amount of money they have into it. Good luck!

I decided to keep the bike. .....whew. I am adding clip ons and removing all electrical from the handlebars. Just trying to clean up the front end. Also switching out headlight and housing for something that I hope is brighter since it gets dark over here at 5pm. Pics coming soon. It runs so good my other bikes are getting jealous.

I'm back at it tonight for round two. Why do we tear apart running bikes???! Because we can't sit still. I am redoing the original wiring harness and eliminating a lot of stuff I don't want.
1. Key will turn everything on and off. No more "run switch"
2. Tail light is always on
3. Headlight will have an on, off, and bright switch mounted on the center top of the headlight bowl
4. Turn signals gone
5. Starter gone.

I will trim and button it all up tomorrow. But everything's works which is good

By the way I ordered the clear blue dot headlight from dcc and it does not fit the small headlight bucket of the 360. Just FYI. Also ordered the slim inexpensive rear shocks. They aren't very good and require modification to fit the 360. I am going to use them but keep my eyes out for something better. My originals were in terrible shape.
 
Try hagon shocks ($200), custom built for weight etc. I was going to get the dcc shocks but I heard they are pretty stiff and universal, and just not that good.
 
Only just found this thread, usually find 360's sooner
here's my thoughts
1. modifying the original bike, it was too original. (and not using single edge safety razor blades proves it ::) )
2. your stupid fitting those tyres of stock rims, they NEED WM3 front and rear (even after reading response 91)
3. 'Ace' bars, stock pegs, and trail tyre's lost for words on that, it's totally jacked up ::) (your not the only one who does it but I'm on a roll :eek: )
4. carbs are way out of sync, your video it's only running on one then come's onto two around 3,000rpm
5. No, it isn't normal to change plugs every 500 miles, unless you have no clue how to set up carbs, when did you fit Mikuni?
even 'old' plugs won't foul when bike is 'right'

Stock are Kei-Hin CV on all 360's, correctly modified bike should do around 105 on stock gearing.
Fitting massively oversize tyres on stock rims has raised he gearing to the point where it's doubtful 6th gear is any use at all
 
I agree, that bike was to Damn nice to hack it up. (I'm a huge fan of bringing dead bikes back to life).

To each his own though, how much did you buy the bike for originally though?

Harsh, but I have to agree on all points.

I'm a fucking idiot.... Good to meet you too. Sorry you had to lay eyes on this thread : )

In response:
1. Being an idiot- I am 33, been married 15 years, have three kids, paid off my house cars and have zero debt, always held a job well and only changed because someone else wanted me, worked hard for everything and give lots away. I am not genius but hardly a fucking idiot. Wait I am sure you are thinking oh he is a "hipster" I have been riding since I was 6. When my first son was born I had to sell my only bike in order to pay bills. I scraped up enough money to buy a broken royal enfield because I didn't have much to spend. That was when I started wrenching. I have ridden cross country north south east west and been doing it since before the "hipster" word came to be.

2. The razor cuts on the fingers..... Ya it was late and a bonehead move. I am sure you never make mistakes.

3. Modifying a original bike. My picture must be deceiving. I paid $400 for it. Tank was spray painted with drip marks from filling it up. Petcock didn't work. Mufflers were rusted out and crumbling on the back side. Both cylinders were pitted. One piston had a cracked ring. Valves leaked. Cam channel was destroyed from running without oil. Switch housings were shorting out.

4. About the carbs. This is my second 360 and I spent a lot of money on diaphragms and rebuild kits. I decided on this bike to sell the original carbs and not spend on rebuild kits. It cost a little more but worth it to me. I love the mikunis. I would do it all over again.

5. About the tires. I love em. I love em. I love em. The artist side of me loves the design and look of a bike just as much as the ride. Yes I did it for the look : ) go have a drink and calm down

6. About the pegs. I don't know what you are talking about. Those are stock.

7. Carbs way out of sync. Forgive me but that was my first ride. It is dialed in now. I believe at that time my idle jet was too rich. Yes they were out of sync I had only set them up off of the bike.

8. About the plugs. I believe before I asked I said something like .... These are stupid questions but I am going to ask just to be sure. I have since worked the carbs out. Those fouled plugs were the ones used during tuning and were just tired.

Aaah that's a lot of typing.

Pj I really appreciate your wisdom on this forum but please don't call me a fucking idiot and talk to me like I am 2. I had never seen you so angry so I guess my thread took you to a new level.....the tires probably did it and then the mikunis topped it off.
 
Thanks for the explanation, the bike does look a lot better in the original pictures than the reality by the sound of it.
I'll edit out that idiot bit ;)
Low bars with stock footrests will give you back ache, your bent far more than using 'upright' bars or rear sets with lower bars
I have a set of those tyres as well, in 'large' size, but, I've fitted WM3 rims and I'm going to swap forks to get clearance plus I'll be making bike more 'upright'
It wasn't the Mikuni's, I didn't see where you fitted them, had to pause video walkaround to see they were fitted, they can be made to work.
Problem is, every company selling them 'pre-jetted' is lying, they may be pre-jetted for a race motor but generally suck on street bikes. (as you found out)
A longer exhaust system will work much better and I know just how flimsy the stock forks are so really do need a fork brace
What did manage to piss me off was the 'whats it worth'
If your selling something to a know nothing hipster, you need to make it as safe as possible, even if it doesn't look quite as good.
Some noob may well buy it and get hurt or killed because they know no better and it WILL be your responsibility
I fully understand about needing money, particularly with a family and Christmas on the way so can't fault that but when your trying to get maximum return it's real doubtful you'll be telling someone everything that still needs to be done
The fact you've been riding since 6yrs old means you will automatically compensate for issues
It may not be nice, but I've found that being totally outspoken is the fastest way to get a response rather than being ignored (works doesn't it ;D )
All for now, have a nice day 8)

I've had a lot if people ask me about how I mounted the seat. This is a simple way if you are not a super fabricator or don't own a welder. It holds tight and does not move at all. Only negative is you have to cut the zip ties to get under the seat or to get the tank off. I have my positive battery terminal in a place I can get to without removing the seat and I use my frame as the negative. If I leave it on a trickle charger I put one on the positive and the other on the frame.

I have also had a lot of questions asking if the seat mounts flush to the tank and covers the weird tank bottom. Yes and no. Here is a pic. Hard to see.

At some point I am going to take it to a custom bike builder in town and have a fork brace, seat mount, and a bigger battery box made. I have a design for the fork brace that will allow the bigger tires. I just need a good fabricator.
 
I've made them to clamp to top of fork slider, going to make one for mydlifecyzis sometime

awesome. Will they fit around the tires. If so tell me what it would cost and count me in for a set.
 
on those 270 tires i have run them and the rubber is so soft that on the roads around here that are chip sealed i only got 1000 miles before they were pretty much worn out plus the knobs being so soft they are really squirmy feeling
just a heads up not a good tire in my ho
