Rims and tires are in for the scrambler build.  Shouldered Excel rims with stainless spokes and beefy dual sport tires.




Engine is all prepped for paint.

Two days in the shop and the bike is completely tore down and cases are split.  Surprised on how clean the engine was.  Looks like it had a recent .5 overbore done.





Everything media blasted except the frame and swingarm.

New Project is in the garage

1975 Honda CL360 Scrambler K1
"Vacation Bike"








100% complete and a strong runner but a little crusty.




 First day back in the garage, complete tear down to get it ready for a moderate rebuild.  Engine will be completely tore down, cleaned and rebuilt.






Nice surprise was finding the front end was recently rebuilt, including new "Forks by Frank" tubes.











Plan is for a pretty comprehensive rebuild of the entire bike but leave the paint as is to add some patina.
