Thanks Robert! Sometimes it's tough to try and update an old bike but not have it look like you just bolted on some modern parts to it. The aesthetics of moderns parts can stick out like a sore thumb and just not flow very well on a vintage bike.
Be sure to check out our Instagram page for in-process builds. We're about to get the seat pan done on another CB360 so you can probably get a look at the mounts on there soon.
Thank you! The battery is under the seat. There is a custom battery/electronics tray under there that is just big enough for a lithium battery and a few other components.
absolute beaut of a job bud keep up the sick work I have a 1974 Honda 250 g and have the same problems with the wheels being too skinny as I'm doing it up to be a brat can I ask what you used for the wheels to make them wider and any links would be appreciated, cheers from the UK
Places like Dime City Cycles will have some decent options on wider rims. You could put a 1.85" wide on the front, and a 2.15" on the rear, depending on what you need for tire widths. 2.15" is about as wide as you can probably go in the stock front fork, but that's quite a bit wider than stock (which I think is just 1.6").
Thanks. The rims are 18x2.15, and the tires are 4.0x18 or 4.1x18, I don't recall exactly. Lots of room in the rear swingarm, but that's pushing the limit on the width of the front fork.
The bike really looks great . It just looks unfinished to me . I would have done the rear end a little bet more to it . I would have had the rear fender come out from the frame about 4 to 5 inches with a small brake and marker light . For the front I would have a fuller 1/4 fender on it being chrome with a chromed light ring . Just to keep that early 70's vibe going . Yes I do agree with the white frame and the tank .
That's an interesting perspective, and I think I can see what you're saying. I suspect the relatively flat seat with very little kick up at the back contributes to that feel you're getting. We made a conscious decision to forego the rear fender, but that definitely could have changed the look of the bike.
Some early CB360s had drum front brakes, and all of the CL360s had drums. I don't really know the history of this particular bike or whether that's the original front brake, but I've seen a bunch with drums in front.
In love 😍
Thanks!
That looks absolutely BAD ASS.
beautiful dream bike!!!
Simple and Clean is what a Real Custom really means. Great job!
Thanks!
Such a professional video! This really is my favorite bike you have done and is just so slick as you say. Excited for more videos!
Thanks BJ. Been thinking about doing this for a while and thought this would be a good bike to start with!

This is so beautiful but i will like to ask how and where do u place the battery 🪫

Nice clean build. I think the color choices are spot on. What size (width) wheel and tires did you use? They look great.

needs a rear mudguard and bigger front guard and a fatter seat and you have about the perfect motorcycle,
CB 360’s came with a front Disc brake.
Some early CB360s had drum front brakes, and all of the CL360s had drums. I don't really know the history of this particular bike or whether that's the original front brake, but I've seen a bunch with drums in front.
