A while ago I picked up a 1977 Honda CJ 360 T. This spring began the "CHOP"
I removed the tail end of the frame that basicly held the seat.The swing arm I just welded in place other than trying
to build the whole back end I figured it was easier to use part of what was already there to make things easier.I welded a
piece of 1/4 X 1 onto the swingarm and the frame that holds the rear footpegs.I next tried a couple of different ways to attach
from the end of the swingarm up to the frame where it was cut off just in front of the seat.I ended up putting a slight bend
in my bar right where it is attached to the swingarm.I made one side and began the process of fitting it in and and welding
it to the rest of the frame.Once I had one side the way I wanted it was easy to repeat it for the other side.I took the front
fender off which is all plastic and used it as my rear fender.It tapers toward the front so I put that towards the front and
did not need to remove any for chain clearence.Plus it really fits the tire.Once everything was all welded I cleaned up all
the welds painted it and began putting it all back together. I had been messing with the electrics all winter and had not
been able to get a spark out of it despite having bought numerous sets of coils from E-bay all if which turned out to be useless
crap.I finally broke down and with some online help and bought a set of Emgo coils for it. Hooked everything back up kicked
it over and the Bobber roared to life. I just need to clean up my wiring and I can then get it timed and tuned so this litte
Bobber can fly.
Next up is my Truimph T-100. Thats for a new page however.
