CB360 questions
« on: January 21, 2011, 10:32:03 AM »
Can someone give me a little info. on the CB360's?  I don't see any talk of them here and am wondering if they is a reason for that.  I'm looking at a 74 CB360 now but know nothing about them so any info. would be great. 

Thanks!

Hi mate i don't know a real lot myself, i have just bought one myself one reason is there seems to be plenty of parts on ebay. They are a twin opposed to the 350 which is a four cylinder. I have seen some nice ones on the net so it might be worth looking into. Regards Don.

Just to be clear, there are also 350 twins.

Thanks guys!  That makes sense now.  I was hoping to hard-tail whatever I end up finding.

Heads/cams/rockers/camcovers fail due to lack of oil if the clutch cover is not removed to clean out the centrifugal oil filter on the end of the crank fairly regularly (12,000 OR Annually)

Yes I think that was the stupidest "upgrade" honda did from the 350.   Eliminating the filter access
