My CB360 barn find

LOL, ;D ;D ;D
I guess your going to learn some machining next, any highschool night classes?
 
Great succes wawiewoewa !!!
Bike is looking good, congratz!.

But when you're in the oldtimer/ custom- bike stuff, you will never be fully finished with a bike, there's always something to change/improve, upgrade....
It ain't over till the fat lady sings!!!!

Say fatherjohn, do you still have the electric starter mounted? Does the heatshrink tube covering that diode get hot?

the bike will never be "done" it needs rear sets which i am waiting on a guy on here to finish machining them, id like a more unique headlight bucket/headlight (still not sure what yet) . it needs the rear fender(on my work bench), i am sure ill be rebuilding the motor this winter (hopefully not sooner out of necessity) i have an all balls bearing kit for the stearing stem.its always going to be a project. but done in my book meant i can ride it to work. and that makes me very happy!

I didnt notice the diode geting hot. heat shrink worked great.. the rectifier gets pretty warm but that bosch regulator felt like it was going to burst in to flames or turn into lava.. but acording to the multimeter everything is hooked up the right way and i am getting regulated 12volts it has yet to cause any problems and nothing is melting.. but im going to keep an eye on it.i will let you know if there are any problems. oh and electric starter is long gone kick only. pj made me a block off plate.

It's normal the rectifier and regulator get hot. That's why they should always be bolted against a good heat conducting underground (your metal base plate is perfect).
And a human being "feels" hot starting from 50 degree C (122 °F) which is an OK temperature for electrical components.
If the outgoing voltage is 12 volts, and all your electrical stuff is working, and no fuses are blowing... Everything should be fine. :)

Makes me want to finish my bike too!!!
Keep on posting man!

alright it has been a long year. this was my first time building a bike and i learned a ton. when i stared she was not running and almost nothing worked. now it all works! runns pretty good, from what i can tell.. never owned an old bike so im not sure what its supposed to sound like.. i really like what i have built. it is not perfect. if you get up close yoit is very easy to see i am not a painter.. i am not a welder, i am not an electritian. but i am a garage bike builder :) thanks to everybody who helped me out along the way! thanks to Eric and Matt and PJ for always helping me out with anything i needed. going above and beyond what any one could expect. thanks honda007 for making this electrical nightmare make sence and have everything work! and countless others. thank you, thank you, thank you!
it doesnt look much different from the last few posts but it all works now. its insured and tomorrow is saftey inspection and registration. (I know it needs a rear fender. i have a cb750 front fender that im going to cut and mount on the swing arm) but i cant wait any longer. its street legal and has been like 106 here everyday, so its plenty dry and i only about a mile or so to ride it to work so i am not super worried about the week i ride it with out a rear fender blocking the road debree from the pod filters
I got my seat attached, just a sheet of plywood coverd in some thin sheet foam screwed to the frame, and the seat is screwed to the plywood.

All I can say is wow. Thanks for all the inspiration.
 
I don't want to start another 20 comment spree on white wall tires but this is what I saw in my head when I mentioned them earlier. But like mentioned yours looks just fine as is

Haha your fine dude. I LOVE that bike! It was a big inspiration to me early on in the build! That 750 is one of my fav all time bikes, I have a ton of pictures on it on my computer! You have good taste and I can see where you were coming from. I was not trying to be a jerk, hope you didn't think we were hanging up on you haha.

Ugh... Long story short.. no, didn't even get it to the safety inspection. Rough day my toggle switch broke off so I had to replace it I had to make the carb bracket cause they kept slipping, for the first time it started running rough, and now the right cylinder is not firing. I'm 99% sure it's the points. I did a compression check over 150 both sides, right side exhaust pipe isn't getting hot. I ordered a new set of points and a condenser. That should fix it. But I am pretty sure 30 year old points could be the problem, frustrating day but it'll get fixed and should be running even better with the new points and condenser.
 
na its all good man! Get that thing running and safety passed so we can get a video of it hitting the ton
hope you have really steep hills so you can get this accomplished haha
 
thanks man! ill do what i can :) is there anything else i need to know about changing points thats not in the manual? any helpful tips or whatever? anybody? i have never done it before..
 
I don't think Wrenhmonkees have managed to sell any of the overpriced art? (sure as hell aint practical motorcycles)
 
If you go to the site the first 10 or so are customer builds. The one I linked is listed as a show bike and as you said those things don't sell with the outrageous price tag of a piece of fine art.

Nah it's pretty straight forward, follow the manual, unmount the old points, put the new ones on, set them at "fire", put a little of fine oil on the pivots of the points and very little on the little cam that pushes the points open. Install the new condenser, and fire it up.

And when you feel like it, go for the transistor ignition! 8)
