Boys new motorcycle progress report

Well we have it running now. Still needs a lot of TLC since I had to hot wire it. Boy still wants me to figure out how to lower it a bit because hes not tall enough to touch the ground well on this 360 Honda. Cabrs may need to be cleaned out and a few other thing but all in all it does run pretty good.

Sounds cool. I almost bought some strange looking motorcycle from behind a guys barn for $65. He said it would be an easy fix, and if i couldnt i could get my money back from the rims alone. Thats exactially what he told me about the sickle mower i got from him......

That 360 is a good bike for your son. Had one myself and went everywhere in the 70's.

Here is more info on that recall. Gives the serial # and what to look for (punch marks near engine serial #)

(I admit I have a soft spot for those old Hondas, and horde them up like Allen in NE buys up all those old Gleaners ;-]

Had Honda 250, four 350's, also 360. Excellent machine to my way of thinking. One carb dropped needle. Came loose from slide. Soldered in place. Never happened no more. If you want to lower experimentally, remove rear shock and replace with length of 1 inch pipe with holes drilled in each end. Get fancy, chrome it or paint it. Instant hardtail honda. Icouldn't ride that, but a young boy could sure handle it. Don't forget to readjust chain. And be careful.
