ANY speedometer that has a 2240:60 ratio will work. Check out cognito moto, dime city cycles, most 70's honda cb models use 2240:60 ratio (cb360,cb350,cb450,cb550 probably more than that)

What is your process for bending the metal for the headlight covers and front fender mounts, i think it looks sweet.

I said "connected" a lot didn't I.. hahah

I have a spare cb550 engine I could rip apart.... but the chain is only $40.. I think I will just buy it

2240:60 is the ratio you want. I am not actually sure what the ratio is relative too, i have heard people say its something like "2240 rpm at 60 mph", but I am not sure how correct that is. A speedo has a magnet inside of a cup thing that is driven by the cable attached to the front wheel. As...

Do most cam chains work for these bikes? Example could I use a cb550 chain?

The chain common motor sells comes unlinked, it’s the press fitting type, so I think I will go that route. Attach it to the old cam chain, pull them both through, then press the last link in. Unless..:: you guys don’t think that is the best chain for this For your consideration...

Even purple loctite? It’s made to be undone. But yes, when I said cam gear that’s what I meant. It’s wrecked, the tensioners are obliterated too, sorta funny to look at really. I guess the plus side of doing all this work to get hear is that I can do it all over again in a fairly short amount...

Yes, you need to fix this. Common motor collective sells some plugs that are good, could also make your own if you're savvy... pj makes them too, but I don't know what his lead times look like.

When my 360 is low on fuel, like reserve levels, it will only run on the right cylinder at idle, butttt if you rev the piss out of it when riding and low on fuel the second cylinder will somehow get fuel and somehow run. So.. maybe check fuel? It is super finicky that way. It also really wants...

So this happened.... I was riding and then I heard a clanking so I pulled in the clutch and hit the kill switch as fast as I could.... this breaks my heart. can I use the least strong loctite on these things so they NEVER come out unless I want them to? Cam gear destroyed, cam chain destroyed...

Never say never. Just prolonged. The 550 right beside the one I am currently working on, is one I sold my best friend (a year ago). Then one day a coil went bad, and he tried to replace them with those accel yellow coils... well he murdered the wiring on it, used ALL BLACK WIRE like an idiot...

On my 360, if it is backfiring back through the carb, the issue has been late ignition timing every single time. But that's not to say you don't have an air leak. Adjust the valves, time the ignition, start it up, spray some carb cleaner around where the intake manifold butts against the head...

Finally got myself in gear and started taking this apart to make a list of things I will need to work on, vs things I will need to purchase. I am starting to get together a nice area to work on bikes, before I have been having to move it between a garage and another garage where we keep a welder...

In the mean time of waiting for parts to arrive, I decided I wanted to make a leather tool roll. Just for the essentials when I break down on this machine, cause I Will.

I am convinced

Yeah it kinda is proving to be. I hate all the bars I currently have (all stock). And I don't want to order something and then not like it lol
