76 CB360, Cherry Bomb at Barber's

Re: 76 CB360, new mufflers & hagons coming soon.

The slide lift holes may need enlarging very slightly with JBM diaphragms.
It's also dependent on filters and exhaust system, some bikes work great with them.
Problem is, I just haven't done enough experimenting with them

If you ever wondered what it would be like to have sex with another young woman after all these years of marriage, then you're about to find out.

I wonder if these will be enough to give her an accent. I do dig a chick w an accent.

BTW I was standing at the ATM the other day. The 2 girls in line behind me, chatting up a storm. Both, had really thick French accents. After getting my money, I turned around....Both of them were cute little Asian things....Talk about, equal parts SHOCKING and HOT !

Shocks....done. I can tell a huge difference just sitting on it in the garage. Its squishier than it was w those brutally stiff cheapies.

Hoping to go for a test ride this Saturday. predicting to hit 41 degrees!

Wife's wondering why the hell I'm laughing so much, that's funny enough to bring tears to my eye's (really ;D )

Re: 76 CB360, new mufflers coming soon.

Im pretty interested what the increased back pressure created by the chambered & baffled mufflers are gonna do to it.

Looking forward to making a carb change. NOT

Re: 76 CB360, new mufflers coming soon.

Gonna have two completely seperate projects going on in my garage at the same time.

Besides my bike, Bromz dropped off his KZ1000, project. Hes planning to go through engine.

My garage will be a sweet, cozy spot for his work. So keep an eye out for his new build thread. Coming soon.

WOW ! ;D Just went for a ride. Its like a whole different machine.

I cant say enough about Dave Quinn. Great guy to deal with, offers an outstanding product and service.

Best of all, he answers his phone every time Ive called him.

Now, just waiting for the pipes to cool so I can tear them off.

Re: 76 CB360, new mufflers coming soon.

Getting started mocking up mufflers to measure for welded brackets.

They are a few inches longer than the old. I think they fit nice though.
Keeping in mind they are 4 inches longer than they look, due to the swing arm length.

Re: 76 CB360, new mufflers coming soon.

Oooh, they look nice 8)
extra length should improve things - after you sort out carbs again

Re: 76 CB360, new mufflers coming soon.

Well Ive been plugging away, while waiting for mufflers to come back from welder.

Got the 180w R/R and guage leds from sparckmoto.com

Turns out the R/R is everything Matt claims...charging 12.5vdc at 1200rpm, hits 13+ tween 2-3krpm and a breeze to install.

I checked amp draw on lighting system. Every light turned on. Headlight highbeam, brake pulled, even caught signal during a flash. 3.1 amps = 37watts...maybe now w the new R/R I should trade out the 18/18 halogen for the 35/55w.

Installed new starter solenoid and made new harness to complete the whole bike.

Got the mirror I broke replaced.

Plan to install these leds after the Spring Thaw weekend...

Re: 76 CB360, no F-ing way.

Buddy Greg is here, just finished up welding the hangers. So, pipes are bolted on.

Fired her up in the garage, and Ill be damned. The thing is HALF AS LOUD, IF THAT, as it was w the shitty emgo glass packs. AND sounds 10 times better. Its as deep a note as i think a 360 can be. and sounds great when revving her up.

I am overjoyed. They totally exceed all my expectations. Cant wait to get the O2 sensor plugged in and see what sort of tuning the carbs might need. OH YEAH... and go for a ride.

Boy between running good, decent tires, shocks and mufflers I think I might begin to enjoy riding this thing.

the only thing I can think she might need now is...

Mr E's triple tree top!

Re: 76 CB360, no F-ing way.

It looks great! And that KZ1000 will be fun to watch.

Re: 76 CB360, happy w pipes.

Thanks it sounds a lot better than it looks.
Bromz maybe coming over to work on it again this weekend. So an update may be coming soon.
