This found its way into my truck today
« on: January 27, 2013, 02:10:35 PM »
This founds its way into my truck today.  I dont know how it happened.  Thats my story and I'm sticking to it!!

1974 Honda CL360.

As you can see its needs a few things.  For starters a set of carbs would be great.

I've never before heard of a scrambler version 360. Must be rare? What's the plan?

I was going to buy a 360 scrambler late this summer but the pipes were shot and seen they were kind of hard to come by to replace.Still should have picked it up though as the next guy grabbed it and flipped it pretty quickly.  Did you ever buy the GT550 ?

There is a similar CL360 for sale near me, not in as nice a shape though, but oddly enough also missing the carbs. Until I stumbled on the 550 I just bought I gave serious thought to buying it. I do like the CL350/360/460 models.

Magilla saw these and thought you might be interested.

Respect

I don't know it it's a CL or a CB.  it came with no title.  Will these carbs fit both models? 
it's a CL unless a whole lot of parts swappin' has been going on...carbs should be the same except for jetting, probably (different jetting to account for different exhaust systems)
If it works good, it looks good...

All,  What should I do to this bike?  Is it worthy of restoring?  Is there any following for these bikes that it would amke it worth while to do a restoration?

Is it a better candidate for a Cafe' bike?  Perhaps something else?

I like the little bike.  Its neat and reminds me of what I rode to high school back in the 80s.  So I bought it.  Now I need to figure out what to do with it.

I would restore back to stock, looks too nice to chop up. They are quite popular...

I agree with Sean . If it was a pristine stock unmolested example of a CL360 it may do pretty well but I think most collectors would prefer the 450 and the 350 examples which I think sell for more. I would make it nice and rideable but not go overboard on a total correct resto.
