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

[Bucky685]

Got my the fork gaiter test fit. Fit perfectly btw. They are K&S Tech 16-3001
Also picked up a nice vintage looking mirror @ a local shop this weekend. Not much progress just baby steps.

But I'm in limbo until I get my wheels back so I can get the few items left welded to the frame @ my co workers shop.

Got my coils mounted and plug wires made tonight after the 2 yr old went to bed. I'm going to mount the condenser right below it hanging below the frame.

Nice work so far. The airbox design is pretty interesting.

Got my tires back from being mounted.
Also measured for my custom cables I'll need to go from Harley controls to the cb clutch/throttle and brake.

Battery box designed and sent off for laser cutting. Will be using a leather strap/bucket to secure the battery.

not sure who you're using for laser cutting, but I can do one-off projects like this pretty cheap when you need them.

Very cool. Gauges look great. Sonreir be the man.

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?

Interesting design, could be light enough to not need bolting on??
Also, I watch how far out you intake holes are from center will need a seal there to ensure air is only allowed to enter the filter center. No point in having a filter if the air can bleed past. My $.02

Hey Bucky.

Build is looking awesome so far! I just joined this forum and recently picked up a 74' CB360. I'm pretty close, in Cedar Rapids.

Thank you! Good luck with your 360. What are your plans for it?
Cedar Rapids is pretty close. I have some Spare parts if you need them.

Not much of a update except got my chain installed and the front /rear sprockets line up perfect. Which makes me happy considering the back end of the frame was cut off and re made.
I also think I can get away without a chain tensioner and use the stock adjusters.

I think I found my color for the tank/fender. I'll be getting the tank/fender powdercoated.

What color is that? Pearlescent Swamp Flake?

MoonDust Orange from Prismatic Powders..... But i like your name better!

I messed around a little bit on the tank the other night. But this is the basic paint design i'm going for. The main areas will be the metal flake inbetween will be ivory and the black pinstripes will be orange.

I like it!

Thank you! Pinstriping a gas tank is definetly more difficult than a flat piece of steel!
