So I finally got a little 1975 Honda CL360 Scrambler and I'm looking to do my first cafe build I thought I would create a post just to show the progression and it would always be nice to go back and see what I've done to it. I also wanted to keep tabs on how much the project cost and whats all on the bike so what better way then make a thread about it.
So basically a buddy of mine knew an older lady with this little jewel in her garage and got her to practically give it to me ($200 cash). Bike was in good shape for its age and had been setting since 95ish. She had all the paperwork for it even had the original manual, and leather tool case but she didnt have a key for it. First thing I did when I got it home (sorry it wasnt to take pictures ) but I gave it a bath, took the ignition switch down to a locksmith and got a key made, along with getting a battery and cleaning the carburetors. Put the baby together and dropped 2 gallons of gas and it fired right up! . It ran really good for setting so long, it idled fine but had a small backfire when decelerating. I went ahead and stripped off the ugly luggage rack, threw a tarp over it and called it a night. Sorry again for the no pics of the bike when I first got it.
Project Cost (so far) :
The Bike $200
Interstate Battery $24 - ( the perks of working at a repair shop )
NGK Spark plugs $FREE - (another perk)
Carb kits $45
117.5 main jets $Gift - (got it from a buddy who runs a honda/yamaha shop)
Kawi 750 ninja horn $Gift - (buddy had it lying in his garage and one wasnt on the bike)
Petcock Gasket $10
Fuel Lines $3
Fuel Filters $Free - (got some Briggs and Straton Felt filters from the shop)
Motorcycle Cover $27 (the tarp wasnt cutting it anymore)
Emgo Pod Filters $16 ($8 each)
Ignition Switch $12 (the switchs internals were junked so i got a new one)
mini Signals $24 ($12 each)
In the shed waiting to be put on:
Gaiters $20
Headlight brackets $10
Alum. Bar End Mirror $30
Anti Vibe Bar Ends $7
Lucas Taillight $40
Plans:
Swapping tank to a CB200 tank
Roc City Clip ons
Creating a bitchin seat/tail to compliment the tank
Cutting fenders
new tires, new chain, any other maintenance I find
Painting - probably the last thing I do, gunna be a scarlet red with a black center stripe
Currently working on:
Signals and Carb adjustments - idling at 3k
Total so far: Approx. $468
