New member & cb360t owner in western washington!!

Hey all,

I am from Seattle/redmond/kirkland Washington, and I have a '75 cb360t that I have raised from the dead and turned into a cafe/rat bike. I am calling it a rat bike because it is far from perfect, and because I have very little experiance in metal working I have fabbed all of the brackets and metal bits using my DIY ethos and "resourcefulness" It is my first street bike and I am having a blast building it! I will try to dig up some before pics to post in the before and after thread, but here is how it is now. One pic in garage, and one on its maiden voyage with all the stuff to make it street legal .

Thanks. I really like the barebones look. There are a bunch of amazing bikes on here that gave me some ideas.
The next thing on my list is to polish up the casings, rebuild the carbs, and try to enlist some help with tuning her up. It runs ok, but I'm having a little trouble with timing (I think). Runs strong on one side, but backfires periodically on the other, and also taps out at higher rpms. It's a blast to cruise around town, but I'm itchin to get it out on the highway and see what it can do! Need to get the tuning dialed in so I don't blow anything up.
