cb360 build/entry: part 1

Another build saga begins/continues for the Ozark Mountain Scramble.

Mr. Wixil has stepped up to the plate, challenged to make a previously failed attempt at last years Scramble a success. Starting where Cail left off, he has shifted a smidge in build direction in favor of a scrambler/tracker configuration. Carbs and getting the beast fired are among the immediate items of the short list. A skanky seat that needs a good shave and recover has been put into play as well as a sl350 rear fender needing some massaging for fit. Inspirational photoshop included.

Cb360 build/entry: Part 2

Frame and tank have been painted and reassembly has begun. Parts have been coming in at a steady pace with a few hiccups along the way. Hopefully we can wire and fire it this weekend to hear it run for the first time. I made up a kick only wiring diagram that is untested at the moment. We'll know if something explodes soon enough. Here's some crappy pics to prove all of the above.

Cb360 build/entry: Part 1

Another build saga begins for the Ozark Mountain Scramble.

A few weeks ago I stumbled upon a couple basketcase Hondas for $100. Couldn't resist the price, so $50 later in gas I had some future projects lined up. Fast forward a couple weeks, and a brother-in-law (Cail) is eyeballing a buddy's project dubbed Street Raper. He's into it, and wants to build his own with a twist, so I offered up the Cb360 for what it cost me. The deal has been struck, and he has been a permanent fixture in my garage since the day of purchase. I'll see about whipping up a proper photoshop of the direction this one is headed, but you can rest assured this thing has to be built on the cheap.



Within the first day, the motor was removed from the frame to begin the rebirth. So far the majority of work has been focusing on getting everything cleaned up and inspecting parts to see what needs replaced. The list of parts is growing, but with some proper budgeting things will begin to roll soon.
