First off I would like to thank all the builders here that are isnpiering this build. This is my 74 cb 360 that I bought for $150 dollars. This is my first bike purchase and my first attempt to make a café racer out of it. I don’t have any motorcycle experience but im a good car mechanic so I hope this is similar. I started this build to take my mind of the stress of working emergency services (the daily grind of running around in an ambulance takes a toll on you mind and body) and this is my way to release some of the tension. The previous owner took the bike apart and practically gave the bike to me in boxes. He had another parts bike in the garage and I bought it for an extra 75 dollars so I ended up with 2 bikes. Here are some of the pics; I will post new ones as I go

Looks like that should give you several hours of "therapy". What are your overall goals with it...mad power, restore, wild combinations of various parts from other bikes?
i guess a combination of both .. i just got a powder coater for xmas and im going to xperiment with it tomorow if it goes well im going to coat the whole motor in red and black coat with a red frame .. i got some plans for a home made coating oven here if anyone wants the link here it is http://machinebuilders.net/plans/gallery/Big%20Kids/PowerCoat%20Oven1.pdf. i guess why pay anyone to do this if you can do it on ur own . i have a toaster overn for the covers ill post some pics of the proccess and the results tomorow
I know how EMS goes, I'm an EMT-I down here in NM. These projects keep my mind off work and on building. I guess EMS stress relief is either tobacco, tattoos, projects, or a combo of all!
