Honda CL360 Restoration
Honda CL360 Restoration
2008
I decided to chronicle the progress of the 1975 Honda CL360 restoration project. If you have any questions about the project, please feel free to email me. The blog will start with the re-assembly process, but I will go back later and fill in with information regarding the bike purchase, disassembly and individual restoration projects along the way.
History
I purchased this 1975 Honda CL360 locally off eBay. I won the bid without having looked at the bike, which was a mistake. I probably overpaid. As is typical with purchases like this, the bike is never in quite as good a shape as initially thought.
The photos above show the bike as it looked the day I brought it home. But, as you read on through the site, you will see that once the bike starts coming apart, there are lots of problems.
New! See the photo gallery of the completed project!
Welcome to my site
Restoring a vintage motorcycle is a labor of love. It is certainly not a wise investment. The restored bikes are rarely worth the investment of time and money. The reward is in the accomplishment and in bringing a piece of history back to life.
