I have not touched this bike in so long. The last thing I wrote about was when I put the longer cb360 swing arm on the bike.  Before  After  So this weekend I started working on a mount for the seat and today I ordered the cb360 chain tensioners and a new longer chain since the old one is now 5" to short. The seat I have has 2 cracks in it that I found after removing the seat cover so I need to do a little fiberglass work to that and then I need to figure out how to mount the battery. I wanted to buy a gel battery so I could have it on its side but this lead acid battery still works so I may just use it and save the money. Maybe 6 months from now I will do a little more! |

Looking good Chris! What tires are you running? Also, do you still have that CX500 tank and do you want to sell it?

It has been forever since I updated this topic and about as long since I worked on this project. I guess sometimes life gets in the way of the things we love to do! Let's see... it looks like the last post was when I replaced the swing arm with a longer cb360 swing arm and since then I have not done much at all to the old bomber. I have cut out a plate for the seat to mount to and have now bought a Shorai battery to mount under the seat hump. The Shorai battery is a lithium ion battery and weighs almost nothing compared to a lead acid battery. I have not had a chance to test this one out but I also bought one for my bmw and I love it (no more dimming headlight at stop lights when the engine slows down).  I broke my top triple tree mount from forgetting to put that shim in there so I bought an aluminum one from Dimecitycycle. Don't think I could break this one even if I wanted to!  I was out garage saleing and picked up this nos fiberglass Harley chin fairing for $10. Now I guess I need to stop complaining about Harleys since I have a Harley part going on my bike.   That's about it, maybe this time next year she will be on the road! |

Garage sale finds are awesome when we as guys can find something amongst kid cloths, toys and last seasons clutter.
Looking forward to seeing your cafe. I currently have my engine apart to replace rings and check valve seats.

Adjusted the valves, points and timing on my cb450 but now have a knocking sound that I didn't have before. Guess I will recheck the valve timing another day after she cools off. Grrrrrrrr
