CB360 box build - Project Junebug

Re: 1974 CB360 "reassembly" box build

You don't need penetrating oil if you use a 1/8" drill bit and drill down where retaining ring is staked
Only need to drill about 1/8" deep (Honda say 1/4")
Unscrews super easy when thats done (just clean up crud that could be making retainer stick).
I put some oil down the drillings to lubricate threads

I've drilled the stakes out sufficiently I think, but if I can't get it out easily, I'll step up a bit size.

Also, I'm pretty much at a financial standstill, I need to sell more on eBay and on here before I can move forward in good conscience. I'll be updating my for sale thread on Monday with everything I've got

did you get the bearing out?

Nope. Haven't had a chance to do any work this week with midterms and everything... Tonight...

Okay, I know many people insist that these O-rings need to be replaced no matter what, but after putting my finger over the brake-line outlet and squeezing the handle, there is still a hiss of pressurized air when I release it thirty seconds later.
Does testing like this give an accurate indication of O-ring function?
Thanks

And just for fun: my buddy bought a DT400

That's a 400MX, with a little bit of work it's crazy quick. First thing to do is remove the restrictors from air box intake (no need to remove airbox or filter)

Will do. The carbs were crazy gummed up, and the bikes going to need to be rewired and headlight replaced, but for $200 it's in decent shape.

Did some blasting today. The frame is almost ready for paint.

I have to buy a throttle cable and probably new front brake line, but I think I'm pretty much good on parts. It's going to be assembly from here on out, guys.

Wish me luck.

Assembly, woot woot!

Well, I say that... We'll see how many problems I run into, and how many detailed parts fiches I request. Wiring should be fun too

Sub'd. Just read the whole thread.
I'll have you know this thread distracted me from my Humanities: 1700's Literature class for awhile now. I'll blame you if I fail

Btw, are you a fellow lit major with an inappropriate hobby?

I feel like my motorcycle "problem" would be taken a little more seriously if my major was applicable... Engineering for instance.

Actually it's a Tier 3 requirement for my school. I am in a business management bachelor's program and will minor in something once I decide.

Worst part about it, my lit class is my favorite. The professor is fantastic. As for our "problem", I'm just going to embrace it either way!

Re: 1974 CB360 "reassembly" box build

I've hit a couple of "gumption traps"...

Namely, wheel bearing retainers and a stuck caliper piston. I've spent hours and hours stuck here, so I dropped the caliper off at the Triumph shop down the street and he's working on it free of charge. The wheel bearing retainers are still giving me a headache. I think I can make something for the rear wheel that will work to get it off, but the front I think I might have to buy a tool. Or at least buy a large socket and modify it.

Apparently the rear retainer should come out very easily, but this has not been my experience. These are standard righty-tighty threads, correct? I know some old Hondas were reverse threaded, but I think the 360 is standard? Also, if I felt like it, couldn't I just bypass the rear retainer with the hub removed anyways?

On another note:
I have the frame hung up and ready for paint (just waiting for better temperature)
I've got my carbs back from PJ (Thanks!)
and I got a Reg/Rect from Sonreir

Once I get some more stuff sold, (check out my for sale thread: http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=57810.0 ) I'm going to be getting a brake line and banjo bolt brake switch from Slingshot.

I think I have EVERY other part that I need, besides maybe a speedo cable.

I'll post some pictures in a bit

Re: 1974 CB360 "reassembly" box build

maybe some penetrant, time & a little heat. Could get smokey but if it helps. I stuck a couple drill bits in the holes and used a wooden stick as a lever between em.

The purest form of evil:

Carbs are ready, with no bike to put them on.

Frame ready for paint:

Silicon surprises from the spare engine. No wonder the cam journals were worn.

BTW: I went through and cleaned my oil screen and centrifugal filter in my good engine and there wasn't anything of note, barely dirty. I think this engine is going to be good to go.

Turns out one of the coils is bad as well.

Add that to the list

Plan to get the whole ignition kit from dyna?
