My CB360 Project (Formerly: My CB360 barn find by fatherjon)

[mgbracer80]

Hey Everyone -

As some of you may know, fatherjon and myself conducted a trade a few months back that involved his Honda CB360 (http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=29298.msg314933#msg314933) and my MGB GT (http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=42050.msg461590#msg461590)

Any sensable person can see this was a trade with my heart and not my head (which I am still 100% satisfied with). So over the last few months, I have been working out some kinks, learning how to ride it and overall learning the ends and outs of an old CB. Now that winter is on its way, I have a few things planned and I wanted to continue to document it as fatherjon has done so well.

Here is what I have done in the last 3 months -
Handlebar mirrors
header wrap
charging system fix (blew 3 batteries in the process,ouch!)
Chipped seat pan and tank paint
replaced burnt LED turn signals
Kickstarter rubber replacement
other mundane adjustments

Here are my winter plans -
professional paint of the tank and seat pan(looking for ideas on the finish. Keeping the color scheme, but thinking of high gloss white and matte black honda text and stripe
Hide as many wires as possible (Run wires through frame?)
new exhaust mufflers and hangers

Look out DTT, this beauty is nowhere near done!

Cheers, Troy

Im sorry youve had problems...glad to hear your hot on it though. I may be looking at rewiring my machine as well. Im interested to see you pull wires in frame.
I hope no plans to replace mufflers...I have loved the look of those mufflers since the day jon installed em.
got you bookmarked.

MG,

What kind of handlebar mirrors are those and how do you like them?

Here is a link to them:

They are OK. A bit shaky and I always seem to be adjusting them, but the look is what had me sold.
