I like what you're doing with the tank. I'm interested in your progress as I am soon going to be cleaning/painting my engine too and I have the '82 edition. Good luck and keep posting ;D

If you ask me I'd say A looks really cool. I like how the tail is only grey on the top.

Thanks for this. I think that paint choice will work nicely with the cb360. Gold/cream looks pretty sick in the sun. Something like this http://imgur.com/pKUtQKD but darker.

OP you are too kind! Thanks for remembering my question, I appreciate this! :) Love the tires they look amazing, what size did you get? As others have said people tend to buy the oversized firestones for the giant balloon-tire look (which I think looks badass on bobbers and some cafes). Yours...

Loving this build so far, good work French Dude! Interested because my buddy has a 79' Suzuki GS400 in my garage. It's no Yamaha and not a 1100cc bike but it's very similar in shape so I'm sorta getting some ideas for him by watching this thread. Your pics will show him that it's worth buffing...

Inspirational build mate, really loving the detailed photos so thanks for that! ;D

Bryanjoh, you're bike is turning out sick and I am really appreciating the great photos. I will be setting up a paintbooth in my garage in the spring and your garage is about the same size, good reference pics. Same with the info for painting the engine and parts. I was toying with the idea of...

Sorry for not really adding anything useful to the convo but I just had to thank you OP for the great fiberglass photos. I used to work with fiberglass repairing sailboats when I instructed for the local club and I didn't think of making fiberglass copies of my fenders. Thanks to your pics I...

Okay I definitely see what you mean now with that build and have noticed the trend of welding on a loop at the back of the frame, I didn't realize some curved the pan for clearance. In the link I posted for Blakews's build he did the loop but still used a flat pan and didn't tilt the back of the...

^ :o I'm not questioning the advice around here I know it comes from experience. I agree 100% with the notion that pods are not ideal for every bike. That being said, what seems to be the consensus on getting around this problem? stiffening up the suspension/changing where it mounts or creating...

Appreciate this a lot. I have to build my tool box from the ground up and I know so little about them. There's zero motorcycle building scene in my town and all the garages only work cars/atvs. Pretty much am relying solely on my race-car driver neighbor and the internet (with forums like this...

OP, I wonder if some builds sorta "scooped" out the underside of their seats to allow clearance. Hard to imagine with how already thin brat seats tend to be. But I wonder how they would manage even with a scooped out bottom if they use big fat awesome firestone tires. If you google-image "brat...

I think that is what will be key to many brat seats yeah... To OP : on my Honda (a smaller 125 so might be diff. compared to your 360) when you remove the tank and seat the rear fender loops higher than the frame thereby demonstrating that the wheel might travel higher than the frame. Here I...

Wow lol I'm kicking myself for never realizing that this would be the case. Makes me scratch my head about the plethora of bikes you see with straight pans put on the frame. Shit like this : http://imgur.com/a/L2Hok I guess they really really don't care about performance/function or they've...

Lurker here (recently got an account because I plan to post my build soon when I can start working in my garage and finish it up). Glad I stumbled upon this thread, learned a few things.... OP I'm incredibly jealous you got that bike for 500 bones. It will look amazing when you're done with...
