Bucky's '74 CB360 Hardtail Bobber Build~"Root Beer float"

Re: Bucky's '74 CB360 Hardtail Bobber Build

The valves were adjust a few weeks ago. Ill have to recheck them I guess.
Does the psi need to match? Or is there a acceptable tolerance?

Re: Bucky's '74 CB360 Hardtail Bobber Build

I picked up the parts from the laser cutter for the chain tensioner yesterday. Just need to order the other misc. bits and pieces for the tensioner. 1/4" steel should be strong enough..

Also did a quick design for a Single Gauge mount. It will mount the the tabs on the tripple trees. Then the gauges front and rear chrome cover will samwich the 1/8" plate. It will also have a neutral indicator light on the bottom.

Here are the two designs I came up with.

I think I am liking the second design better.

I received my Tach Block off plug from CrazyPJ a few weeks ago, finially got around to installing it. It fit perfectly, no hammer needed. Took longer to find the screw driver, than install it!

Nice work PJ! I highly recommend his stuff!

CrazyPJ does do nice work. If he would stop whining about his little back pain and do some work, we'd see a lot more of his work around here.... 8)

He does, I lucked out and he had one laying around and shipped it out the next day! I regretting getting my starter block off from a different source, because if my starter plug would of went in like the tach plug it would of saved me a few hours of frustration!! I guess I had to learn the hard way!

UPS guy dropped some parts off.. 8)

~EMGO Cocktail shaker exhaust x2. I need a short section of pipe to extend the header and kick the mufflers up.
~1/4" npt Brass Petcock
~New DIY Fender stay(Wow these are beefy!) I didn't like how the fender was setting on the tire. I think I sat and tweeked the fender for at least 2 hours before I had it sitting how I wanted.. But how it was sitting before was bugging me everything I went into the garage!! (The last picture is how it was before I adjusted it)
~Bonus stuff they threw in the box-Comb,lots of stickers, key chain & catalog.

Once I get the mufflers set. Then I can finially get my plate/light mount/rear brake stay bracket welded onto the frame.

run down and get a 3 foot length of cheap steel brake line. cut her to lengths, beat the ends flat, drill the holes, paint and bolt it on. You will have that fender mounted up in about 20 minutes.
The bike is looking good.

I goty bracket for my speedo from the laser cutter.
I need to pick up some 1.5" 30deg exhaust tubing and get some brackets welded onto the frame and I'll be getting really close to breaking it down.

 

[Bucky685]

A couple other angles

 

[rusche]

Perfect fit. Looks fantastic.

 

[mydlyfkryzis]

You may want to put a 35W/35W H4 bulb in that....The CB360 charging system will not keep up with a 55W low beam.....

Looks good otherwise...

After a long break from building (mainly due to funds)
I am getting some more of my list purchased.
3of the items i'm not sure where to go to get is:

• A custom throttle cable, going from a universal throttle housing to stock cb360 carbs.
  Here is the throttle im using http://www.jpcycles.com/product/5000708
• Custom clutch cable going from a harley hand clutch(eyelet style) to the stock cb360 clutch
• Custom front brake line; from harley Master cylinder to stock cb360 front caliper.

Any guidance would be appreciated!!

Also in the mail as of yesterday:
Rest of the parts to complete my chain tensior
All balls tapered roller bearings from DCC
universal ignition coils from DCC
Universal Hydraulic brake switch from DCC
Orange cloth covered plug wires from Lowbrowcustoms
530 chain from lowbrowcustoms

I am deciding to change things up a bit. Instead of using the electrical box as such. I am thinking I am going to design it to be used as a air box.
It will bolt into the stock tool box mounting tabs.
It will have brass screen--> uni-filter pre-filter-->a cut up 6" wide K&N pleated filter.

The end caps will be drilled to allow air entry.
From the air box, I will use 2" either silicone/rubber hose to lead upto the Carbs.

Will doing this, solve allot of the tuning problem with pod filters?

Rad, very cool design. Looks like it should flow well too, but I am not expert.

 

[Sonreir]

Looks good to me. I'd be interested to see how well it functions.

 

[Bucky685]

Got some new pegs put on tonight. They are motocross bear claw pegs for a cr250, I got off eBay for $16.45 shipped! Only need to grind the hump off the back so they fold up! I think they look bitchin'!! Otherwise direct swap!!

I'm going to sound like a dick here, especially since I don't have the talent to design anything close to this, but I think this design is flawed. Aren't these type of filters designed to work from the outside in? Your design counts on a few holes on end plates. If I can make a suggestion, maybe make your plenum bigger as to get a charge, use solid end plates and cut an opening between your mounts which would cram your plenum with air and flow your intake, maybe leave a few holes in the ends to create a venturi effect.... Maybe I'm an idiot, but I can't see it working in the current form.

No Worries.
I have since changed my idea of the filters. Not using the K&N style filter and only use the Mesh and Fine UNI filter's on the ends. That way the air comes into a joint air box, to allow the air to "settle" before being sucked in.
I had the total open space of of the holes equal to the area of the intake runners. But more open area wouldn't hurt anything.

Got a new Regulator/Rectifier and custom speedo gauge face from Sparck moto!
Preview of new gauge face! Pretty excited to see how it on the bike!

Well, my STOCK Nighthawk 750 is plumbed for air flow from the inside out. I replaced it with a K&N and it is still that way. In the case of these filters, the surface area is the same i=on the inside or outside. It is harder to clean though.

My take is there is too much prefilter in that. the round filter is fine for the application, and I agree the inlet holes should be more open...

But it looks quite functional....
