@oldrx7 -5735 points for you

A+ for promptness

The brakes were well seized on to the point it was difficult to push around. Pulled the calliper off and couldn’t even get the pads out due to the amount of corrosion on/around them. I ended up having to hydraulic the lot out with a grease gun resulting in this mess.

I spent some time with the parts cleaner/scotchbrite and a hone at work and it came up very good. -Bore is mint, Seal groove came up well, and exterior has some slight corrosion, but no pitting and surfaces are all smooth.

Jammed it together with a new seal, piston and pads.

Have taken some measurements, and am going to box the old brake hoses up to get a new one made to suit bars/ replacement master cylinder.

Hi,

please go and carry out the latest task in the spotted thread.

thanks

Currently plan is get it running, take it in to see what it needs for a WOF.

However, the fork top triple clamp has previously been welded up but has cracked again. If anyone has any leads on one to suit a CB360 it would be greatly appreciated.

Tdlr : Shakotom buys another project bike, leaves it sitting and does nothing to it then rushes to get it ready in a short time frame

After I got back from America, I listed the FZR250 and sold it, got side tracked with the rest of the year / moving out / life /other shitty bikes and left the CB360 sitting sad in the corner.

That brings us to the present, 

I ordered a few basic bits from 4into1 to try get this thing going / back on the road for summer 2021.

And made a start on getting it going.

I called it having rego on hold, and needing saving a good enough reason to justify purchasing when compared to most of the other early Honda CBs that I had been looking at. As a bonus, it was incomplete enough that I could change a few things on it as I wished and not feel bad about wrecking a tidy bike, plus the poor modifications moved the bike down into my budget.
 

With that a deal was struck, I strapped it to my trailer and rushed back across town to hide it away in the garage before going to the airport a couple of hours later to jump on a plane.

Fast forward two days to the morning of the Sunday that you’re flying to America, and you find yourself driving across to the other side of town with a trailer attached to your car to look at a ‘unfinished cafe racer’

It had been sitting since 2013, Didn’t run, had had the usual remove all the lights and slap some clip ons on, then loose interest cafe racer attempt done to It, and was missing a bunch of parts but, it had rego on hold.

Picture this, It’s March 2019, you’ve just got back into the country after spending 3 weeks riding motorcycles in Malaysia and Thailand. You’re watching the days tick by as in a week, you’re about to fly to America for a month for a Holiday with your partner.

You’ve got a 1986 Yamaha FZR250 in the shed, It’s an inline four cylinder sports bike with 45 horsepower, and a exhaust note that sounds like a formula one car as it runs out to its 18000rpm redline. 
It’s great, you’ve been using it to commute on and done the odd weekend thrash run with it which is great, power delivery is fun, and it rides well, but being 6ft tall after a couple of hours in the saddle, your hips start getting uncomfortable.

It’s now the Friday before you fly out, and something catches your eye on trade me...

What a weekend.

Not a micra, but a Mira.

pine for small ecomobile is growing

drawings done as per @MopedNZs brief, @GuyWithAviators just gonna pchop some text on it then it’ll be in your emails tonight @johnnyfive

That sounds super, I don't know if @Shakotom was up for doing anything or just being peer pressured.

I'm quite happy either way, I don't know how much lead time sticker printers need on this kind of thing? Its possible we're too late already, any idea @Truenotch @Archetype

I’m ms painting

i should get it finished at lunch and flick it through, feel free to not choose it tho, it’s pretty shit haha

I’m sure we will drink a pink pussy in honour of you two this year

Where would one potentially find a cycle such as this?

I sold a ST90 a few months back now.

they or the 10inch wheeled ones (Honda dax) pop up every now and again. Just a matter of keeping eyes peeled / cash ready

Why do I now find myself wanting a k11 micra.

What PCD are they?

I vote sit on your 10k and wait for a kp60 to pop up. If that’s what you want, anything else will be a compromise/won’t fill the KP60 sized hole in your heart.

Join Facebook and all the RWD Toyota for sale /club k / kp60-1 pages 

/wait a month and @Snoozin will get sick of his again and put it up for sale

I want one of these for my s14. Would make it so much more useful

I dig it, it’s got the go to match the show

@Beaver yeah would be happy to throw donation your way to get bike there if that tees out / isn’t full of speedcocks 

Very interested. Just need to figure out logistics of getting a bike there.
