sorta ot- honda quality!
 

I picked up this '75 Honda CB360 for $50.00 and i planned on parting it out.
It was laying on it's side in a yard with a bunch of wrecked cars and trucks
around it. I found a set of carbs on ebay and fiddled with it for a couple
days. Well the thing runs and works great! This bike was last inspected in
1986 and it sat outside through the winters of NY and she still runs. I
stuck about $50.00 worth of parts into it just so it looks, runs, and stops
good (and some flat black paint and elbow grease). Any ideas for it would be
appreciated. I was thinking of making it a hill climber and extending the
ass end of it, or just a beater bike for the trails around here.

Nice work!! If it were me, I'd just ride the thing back
and forth to work. You can't kill those CB360s.

Chuckle..Ive got a 73' XL-350 the same way. Runs like a champ after
sitting for about 10 yrs in the sun and rain.

Jim, I've got a '91 harley fxr to ride, but between the two mini-choppers
and this bike, the harley just sits there. I dont have a title for the honda
but i know a couple of friends that have cb360 titles, but the bikes are
long gone. I could slap a few lights and a horn on it and head out on the
road, but then i would have to register it and pay even more insurance. I
live in NY so i pay too much now.
My first street bike (when i was 16) was a cb360... you really can't kill
'em!

Small world, I'm in Peekskill. I pay about sixty bucks a year
for my KLR-250 so I bet the CB would be about the same. I find
that I'm taking the kaw for most of my local errands, handles
great and 50 mpg. Dirt roads a bonus!
