Hello fellow rockers,
My name is Matt and I'm building a CB360 café from the frame up. I like hockey, motorcycles, cars, and playing guitar- basically, anything fast and/or rock n roll.
I initially got my CB360 from my neighbor when I was in high school. He said, "It's been sitting on the side of my house for 20 years. If you can get it running you can have it." I'm thinking, "Sweet! Free motorcycle!" So I set to dismantling the bike. The motor just needed a head gasket and an oil change but the electrical on the frame was shot. Being a somewhat impatient high schooler my dad bought another CB360 that had a blown motor. We took the good motor out of the bad frame and put it in the better frame and viola! I had my first motorcycle.
We then found out that that frame was slightly tweaked from the previous owner dropping the bike (and then I dropped it :'( and when I went to college Mom said "You can't have a motorcycle in LA! You'll die!" So the bike sat outside in Northern California getting rained on and rusted...
I just graduated from UC Riverside last June (and found a full time job right away) and now with a good job, the space, and interest I got my CBs down from Northern Cali and am going to move the motor back to its original frame (which I've completely stripped) and build it from the ground up. I'll be starting and maintaining a build thread on the forum so check it out!
