Nick and I went to check out a '76 cb360 Saturday, and ended picking this gem up for a song and dance. ![http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1021_zpse00b61f1.jpg](http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1021_zpse00b61f1.jpg) ![http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1020_zps369d6b3b.jpg](http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1020_zps369d6b3b.jpg) On Sunday started tearing it apart. ![http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1031_zps3983d311.jpg](http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1031_zps3983d311.jpg) Shorting the length of the hoop at the back of the frame ![http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1032_zpsb5058a1e.jpg](http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1032_zpsb5058a1e.jpg) ![http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1034_zps799d7329.jpg](http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1034_zps799d7329.jpg) ![http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1036_zpsdd35ddff.jpg](http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1036_zpsdd35ddff.jpg) Grinding off useless tabs ![http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1038_zps148406e2.jpg](http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1038_zps148406e2.jpg) ![http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1042_zps79496f72.jpg](http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1042_zps79496f72.jpg) ![http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1041_zps6c7e5eea.jpg](http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1041_zps6c7e5eea.jpg) Template for electronics under seat ![http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1043_zpsc3a197fb.jpg](http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1043_zpsc3a197fb.jpg) Side view ![http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1044_zps819d799c.jpg](http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1044_zps819d799c.jpg) Rough idea ![http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1046_zpsd2826902.jpg](http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1046_zpsd2826902.jpg) New key and battery location ![http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1049_zpsbc246f12.jpg](http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1049_zpsbc246f12.jpg) Yesterday Nick came over and we started molding the tank for the rear tail section. ![http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1051_zpsb2010094.jpg](http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1051_zpsb2010094.jpg) ![http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1053_zpsd7c9853c.jpg](http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1053_zpsd7c9853c.jpg) Start of seat pan ![http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1054_zps9abb9bf1.jpg](http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1054_zps9abb9bf1.jpg) First test fit ![http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1056_zps7fd35073.jpg](http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1056_zps7fd35073.jpg) ![http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1057_zpsb288f73b.jpg](http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1057_zpsb288f73b.jpg) Seat pan is going to be flush to the tank ![http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1058_zps26ca714a.jpg](http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1058_zps26ca714a.jpg) ![http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1059_zps34897a2b.jpg](http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1059_zps34897a2b.jpg) Taped off the seat pan area, cut the tail section curve ![http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1060_zps4d5c4178.jpg](http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1060_zps4d5c4178.jpg) ![http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1061_zps7f3a5383.jpg](http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1061_zps7f3a5383.jpg) ![http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1062_zpsb2dd7972.jpg](http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1062_zpsb2dd7972.jpg) Still have to trim the back to fit the same curve as the hoop on the frame. I’m also waiting for my tail light to come in, as it will be flush mounted. It’s a 2" round light. ![http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1063_zps817533d7.jpg](http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1063_zps817533d7.jpg) That’s it as of last night. Going to be laying fiberglass on the seat pan today. I also have a set of adjustable shocks on order. I will be lowering the whole bike roughly 1/2"-1" front and rear. As for the rest of the bike for now: clip ons rear sets pod filters, re-jet/rebuild carb 2-1 exhaust, making a sport bike shaped muffler no rear fender (bikes missing a front right now as well) new brake/clutch levers grips speedo only, no tach or neutral/high beam light small turn signals dual sport tires paint (2 color scheme ideas 1.black/charcoal grey or 2. black/beige/bright red-orange) tune up/brakes etc obviously ---

Then its body work/primer time! On another note, one of the flappers in the carb is rivited in place, vs being screwed. It wobbles around a bit. I’m going to have to drill out the rivits and tap the holes and put new screws in. ![http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1064_zps153ce578.jpg](http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1064_zps153ce578.jpg) ---

> [@checko](#): > > That’d be sick! Thanks dude! I’ll have Nick bring the Mic over and do some measuring Calipers? haha. I think all I need is the inner and outer diameters. 1/4-20 is more than fine for what you are doing and if we can keep it at .5" total thickness I can make it out of plate. Alternatively, one bolt in the middle might be ‘better’. Then you would need a small piece to span the opening, which the double bolt plug should have too, actually. You could even get away without any bolts if the size is right for a press fit and/or it gets bonded in. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/76-cb360-cafe/228727.md?page=2)
