Ok, so I said I would post the updated pics of my bike. Here it is, a 1975 CB360t. This is an update from this post http://dotheton.com/index.php?topic=3631.0 Since then I put both mirrors on and a cutdown front fender on (both of which to remain joe legal). I also replaced both tires with some Avon Roadriders. Might be a little dirty, but I am not going for a show bike here. Enjoy :)

And to Brewtown (and anyone else who is curious), here are how the Avon Roadriders fit on my CB360 (rear tire). They are 100/90x18 front 110/90x18 rear. The shocks (stock) are at the lowest setting and the front end is lowered 1" byt sliding the forks up.

Great lookin bike man!

I'm still yet to ride one of the smaller displacement bikes... People say they're underpowered but if I remember correctly I found lots of ways to almost kill myself with a 250 in the dirt...

How do you find it?
 
i hope to get my 360 looking that good. whered you get those pipes? im very interested in some like that.

Not bad for going around town, but on the freeway u notice the lack of power. I just ride it back and forth from work, and it does that pretty well.

Well thanks. The exhaust is nothing special, just the 25dollar cheapy short mufflers out of JC Whitney. I believe they are a universal muffler. I had to make some cuts in the end that slid over the stock pipes so that I could clamp it down, worked out good, don't notice any leaks. It sounds like I have no exhaust this bike is LOUD. It sounds awesome when u get on it.
 
neato 360! pretty close what im planning for mine, flat black paint, avon roadriders, flat black bobbed front fender. but im dropping the whole bike with 11" shorty shocks, cafe seat, and drop it 2" on the tree. and also, i have to put the new gasket set on, because i was a jackass and decided to try and find the top speed with the new sprockets i installed over winter..... found em at my local shop, but i have a good oil leak going on. :( ill throw up some pics this weekend of some progress
 
btw, thanks for the tail end shot... i think ill just have to rip off the chain guard.... but the tires look nice... you install them yourself? where'd you get em?
 
Hey man, not bad at all; I really like the flat-black paint...

Just an FYI; you should consider installing Bikemaster Superbike bars, which are a cheap copy of the old K & N Superbike bars (no longer made). The Superbike bars will improve your riding position, without the extreme drop of Clubman's bars... back in the day, we scrapped the too-high stock handlebars, and installed Superbike bars instead. The provide a MUCH better riding position, and help to focus more weight onto the front wheel for better handling...

Lastly, the preload of your shocks look to be set really soft, unless you changed the settings after those pictures were taken. Depending on what you weigh, you might want to stiffen things up a bit...

thanks for the compliments.

as for handlebars, those superbike bars look like they would fit the bill nicely. thanks for the info.

as for the preload, please explain. I just dropped the rear shocks to the lower setting so they would match the lowered front end. By doing so this made my preload really soft?
