Will this style '76-77 CJ360/360T side cover and air filter assembly fit on a '75 CB360 frame and carbs?


 
They will not without modifications. CB360's have two small slots in the top of their covers and a grommet at the bottom corner. Their shape is totally different, as well. You also have to mod the CB filters to run on CJs, since the CJ style filter is no longer made. CL and CB swap, but CJ does not.

True, but the CJ covers act as/replace the plastic outer cover. The filter housing acts as the side cover. It looks like they would bolt up to the frame, but I don't have the bike here right now to go check.

That's what I'm saying. The CB doesn't bolt at all. There are two tabs on frame that the covers slide over, then it fixes at the bottom by sliding over a small shaft through a rubber grommet. The covers are totally different shapes and the filters are also totally different. You will have to modify the CB frame to make them work.
 
OK, gotcha...excellent information.
Whoda thunk CB360 air box and side cover stuff would be so hard to round up?

. Tell me about it. I thought everyone got rid of theirs to cafe up. I want side covers for mine too. I gave up and started fabbing my own. When they're available, people want stupid money for them. Not sure of your timeline, but I'm going to Mid-O. I can look for you if you haven't found a solution by then.
 
Absolutely, keep me in mind. I have some feelers out but nothing concrete yet. I'm going to Barber in October, but hope to have the bike done before then.
I'll PM you my cell so you can text me if you find anything there.
 
I have a pair of red cb360 side covers and filters modified to use universal UNI foam (replaceable filter element). I hadn't thought about selling them yet but I'm not gonna use them anymore so I'd be willing to sell them. if you're interested, shoot me a pm. I can take some pics for you and such
 
Hey guys, reopening an old thread with a random question - Anyone know the purpose of the bottom tab in the OP's original pic? See pic attached - This has been a mystery to me since stripping down my 74 CL360 - Thanks!
