This is beautiful. The very end is my favourite part.

Oh man. . .it's on it's way

One day. . .when I have my own ankle biter

It’s beautiful to watch this old process.

So these guys are in the works for the CJ thanks to Jeff at Bullit Motorcycle Works. It’s also time to make sure the paperwork for this bike is all in order to register in Ontario (yikes!) It was never registered in Ontario or Quebec so it’ll take a few extra steps to get that done. If it can go on the road, awesome and plan A is a go. If it can’t legally be on the road then it’ll have to be plan B.

I threw some new steerer bearings in, slapped the fork and wheels on and got to mocking up the bits to get an idea of lines. Everything is only "attached by zip-ties & gravity". Tires should be on in the next month which will help determine my desired stance. The tail is the original tail piece but chopped and positioned differently. The fender is just sitting there. I'll figure out what to do with it or just go without one. Clip-on bars and rearsets are on the shopping list too. Still lots of chopping, grinding, fiberglass forming, hot glue, duct taping, welding and sparkles (hopefully not due to bad wiring) to come.

Heyoo!
So I'm at it again. One step at a time. I was curious to the shape of the carbs on this '76 Honda CJ360T. They certainly had their share of residue and deposits. I gave them a good scrub but I'm not satisfied. I think I'll take them, with a couple other small bits, to get vapour blasted at dB Customs. They're 42 year old carbs. They'll need to be spotless inside if they're to be reliable. New jets, seals, o-rings and brass bits should arrive any day now.
