Thanks Redliner- I was taught at an early age to respect torque specs, etc. but having the info is definitely the biggest part of doing it right. Thanks for the tip. I still plan to get a paper copy of my model-specific manual, but I'll certainly check out this resource. Digital is great, but...

I have a clymer manual, but need to get an actual factory manual this week. Especially before I even think about touching the top end of the motor. Thanks for your input. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

...good advice at any rate. When I started tearing this thing down I didn't take nearly enough photos / notes and I'm already paying for it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I have, for the most part, been very methodical about my disassembly. I've been labeling and cataloging all parts whether I intend to keep them or not, so that I know how the bike went together. A 24 pack of carry out containers from Costco has been exceptionally helpful, but I'm almost out of...

Impatience led me to try...I need a press. At any rate I feel good about my progress today. I'm finally approaching the actual build, vs. taking greasy / rusty / old stuff apart. Bear with me. I know that most of you would have had this bike apart in a day, but I'm learning as I go, and to...

Good idea / bad idea? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Ok- I'm back. After a long break from the bike (travel for the holidays / travel for work for the past month...) I made some progress today and got the frame torn down (except the triple tree, for which I need a wrench that's one mm bigger than my biggest wrench). I started tearing down the...

Ah got it - sorry if that's been covered a million times. I did get my battery in the mail and think I'll swap it for the EarthX. Can you remind me of pricing / model#? Thanks Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

OFF TOPIC: Quick question for anyone who might know - There are about 10 posts missing from this thread since last logging in. Am I missing something? I came back to review some battery info from Sonreir...and it's gone(?) any ideas how this happened?

A little progress this morning... I cut my rear fender to length and got it mocked up. (Ignore the dog toy supporting the back. The seat pan will serve as a mounting point for the back end.) The aluminum bracket is temporary and will be replaced with a nicer stainless bracket. Sent from my...

...the petcock (very) close to the motor. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I've seen another 360 online with this tank, and the builder described welding a new rod through the frame farther forward for the front mounting points, which seems simple, but this results in interference between the cb200 petcock and the top of the motor. Other clearance issues are the...

I chose the ballistic EVO2 8cell, because I wanted something smaller so I can mount velocity stacks (or maybe pods) with lots of clearance and a minimal look, but plan to maintain electric start. I dwelled on battery selection for a long time, but I think I've made the right choice for my...

..correction: "Sonreir" -the NEWB Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Well, unfortunately I don't have a lot of progress to report, given the holiday, life, etc., but I want to keep this infant build-thread alive... Recent "progress": I struggled with how best to mount a CB200 tank to a 360 and came up with a solution. I used the factory forward-battery-mount...

Oh, you mean my "living room"?;) I've spent a lot of effort getting it to this point, but it's where I spend all of my time...

Everything looks better in pictures. The red "paint job" was done very poorly by the PO with a rattle can and not enough masking tape, the controls were hacked up so that when the aftermarket bars were added, the PO wouldn't have to run wiring inside, he hacked way too much metal off of the...

Alright, here goes: I'm a newbie when it comes to bikes, but when I do something, I usually dive right in (and sometimes find I'm in over my head!) I picked this bike up a month ago. It's a '75 CB360, which was in running order when I purchased it (I rode it home 40 miles): My plan is to go...
