Thank you! I am in S.E. Michigan in the Downriver area. Where are you located?ewd said:Great looking bike! Where in Michigan are you located? Just started my first project as well...a CB360. Here's to hoping mine looks as good as yours. Cheers.
Scrambler, I used Mikuni VM30's from DCC that were pre-jetted for a 350. I ended up leaning out the needle to its leanest setting. It starts beautifully and runs well. I think I may change the pilot jet a bit but I need to ride it more before I make any assumptions. I heard horror stories about the stock carbs before I even started my build. Decided to skip the headache. Glad I did too because I have several projects in line after this one.83scrambler said:Hey D20,
Have you had the bike running yet? I am interested in what you have found with respect to carb tuning. I am running the stock keihen's (sp?) and am reading a lot about rejetting due to open exhaust and pod filters. I am now thinking about running the shorty mufflers like the ones you have mounted up and don't know what affect that would have on the system.
My bike runs but fouls out plugs pretty consistently, I am pretty certain that by the look of the plugs it is runnign rich at the low to mid rpm range. I have read that jumping from 105's to 112.5's is a good place to start. You found anything like this to be true?

kMoto said:D20, did you figure out your points cover yet? I had the same issues with mine. It was the connectors on the end of the blue & yellow wires that were hitting the cover.
You need to change the position of the wire/connector where it connects to the bottom of the actual points assembly. Just undo the screws where the wire attaches, like if you were changing the points, and turn/flip them (however necessary) so that the connector is not hitting the cover.

Do you have any other close up shots of the batter tray mounted? I dig the way it's setup.
