Thank you sir! that harley is my dads. i have a black 09 FLHX. awesome to see a local on here haha.Welcome from Burlington. Very nice CB360 and the Harley isn't bad either.
no sir they do not, they are welded in. they sound good though, they are louder than stock but not obnoxious at all. i have to put rebuild kits in the carbs, after i do that i will post a video of it running. these mufflers can still be had on ebay. the guy i got mine from still had a couple sets.
good to know, thank you!
Thanks — I already found them I believe and I'm tempted to buy a set even though I don't need them, strategic reserve or whatever you want to call it.
no doubt!, mine were packaged really well and the finish looks brand new. only think i had to do to make them work was slightly enlarge one of the holes on the rear foot peg mounts and they bolted right up, excellent fit too.
If you aren't already aware, do not replace any hard parts (brass, etc) in your carbs with parts from carb kits, they are notorious for having incorrectly-sized jets, float needles and more. Clean and re-use your parts unless it's absolutely necessary that you replace them, and if you do need replacements get them from a reputable seller like Sirius Consolidated or JetsRUs
they were full of old gas from presumably the 70s that had basically turned into almost resin. it took almost a full day to clean them. it runs ok now but i still have a very inconsistent idle and sort of a run on idle after giving it throttle (RPM staying up for a few seconds after coming all the way off the throttle.) i have a sync tool kit coming from those guys in Houston that should be in tomorrow. hopefully that will help. im going to try and get them tuned like they are before attempting to put the rebuild kits in. i also need to order a jet kit, i have pod filters on it (also from those guys in Houston) and these new mufflers, im sure it needs a bigger jet.

Great info, thank you. i have been noticing the price differences between them and other sites. i have only got couple things from them so far. Is there a list of recommended sites that many people on here use anywhere? also good to know about the factory filters, i only bought the pods because they were way cheaper than those guys in Houston's factory style replacements they had. the ones i took off were not dirty but the elements were falling apart. once again thanks for all of this info, this is a new world for me lol.The floating down to idle could easily be loose springs on the advancer allowing the timing to stay advanced longer than it should, which always contributes to the problem of returning to idle properly. Be advised that pod filters on CV carbs are often next to impossible to get tuned properly, and many get tired of chasing it and give up. The bike was designed to use the complete intake tract that came with it from the factory for best all around performance. These engines are more sensitive to small changes than, say, a car V-8 where changing an air filter or plenum chamber has far less effect running through a single carb or throttle body feeding multiple cylinders. And, you should consider shopping around for all your parts, those guys in Houston might be convenient but they mark up their parts more than any other supplier we know of. Here's a great example, the solid state rectifier/regulator combo unit we recommend to replace the separate rectifiers and regulators on these bikes are likely from the same manufacturer that those guys in Houston buys them from - but you pay $65 for it from those guys in Houston, and you pay $37.50 for it from Sparck Moto.

you are correct, and yes i bench synced them based on a video i found. (my first time doing this)
Did you go through the entire Welcome Package of links I posted in my reply to your introduction? There's one in it called "Tips for identifying and locating parts".
Again, one of our sponsors here is Scrambler Cycle (also in that list) and they have the same air filters for less than half the price.
thanks! i notice that this is for a 350, will these also fit the 360?Did you go through the entire Welcome Package of links I posted in my reply to your introduction? There's one in it called "Tips for identifying and locating parts".

Honda 68-73 CB350 CL350 1970 SL350 Air Filter Cleaner Set
Honda 68-73 CB350 CL350 1970 SL350 Air Filter Cleaner Set This is a set, includes left and right filters. These filters are reproduction filters patterned from originals. Fits all years of the CB350 and CL350. On the SL350 it only fits the 1970 model. These filters do not fit the later models...scramblercycle.com
My mistake, I was thinking 350 when I typed that. I'm guessing not because the part numbers are different, but others here with more knowledge of that situation will have to verify.
cool thanks, i went on the 360 tab on that site and he doesn't have any listed there. however the price differences are great! thanks. just went through that tab on helpful links thread. great info!
Update: finally cleaned it. got the chain on today, carbs tuned slightly better and got it running good. Got the front brake bled and working. Rode it about 5 miles with no issues. Only issue I am currently having is I have no power to the headlight and no tail light, only a very dim brake light. Bulb is new. I took the headlight out and bench tested it, both the high and low beam works. Fuses test good too. Slight corrosion cleaned at fuse box and still no dice. Any suggestions?
I never thought of that, does look like a possibility. Those splatters are where it stripped the paint down to the plastic. And thank you! They sounds great too.
I had the switch in the on position, yes sir. The switches did check out. I have the manual that was under the seat but it’s a little fragile. I need to find one online and print it out possibly. Thank you!
What about the fuses? (Also located under the seat.) If the fuses checked out, I would start tracing the wires checking for 12V to locate the issue.
Tracing wires is my next step. Thanks for the info and the help.

Little update, got the headlight working along with the tail/brake light. Issue was a corroded ground near the center of the bike. However the starter did ground out, luckily I still have my kick start for now lol. I rode it around 25 miles today. It seems that the charging system is weak or something is going bad, if I run the headlight the entire time it eventually drops voltage low enough to start misfiring. I can turn the headlight off and comes back around. So some more progress made along with some more parts to address!
How does one check 'live' output in the bike? I've yet to learn this skill.
Just disconnect the stator plug at the main harness connection behind the engine and check the yellow, white and pink wires while the engine is running to get an ac volts reading.
Tom's summary is more than adequate, but Steve also wrote up a lesson that provides reasonable expected output for certain models. Sometimes the coloring on the wires is so faded that they must be identified by the resistance measurements.
Steve's thread is great. Hopefully the OP and me can get these bikes juicing good.
Could have smoked the rectifier if the car was running at the time.
I am probably going to end up replacing the charging system and related components to avoid issues down the road. Would sparck be about the best place to look for these parts? Thanks

Yep, that's the one. Best value out there for a quality rec/reg combo unit. Start with that and go from there, the alternator stators and rotors are a less common fail.I am probably going to end up replacing the charging system and related components to avoid issues down the road. Would sparck be about the best place to look for these parts? Thanks
Would this be the appropriate reg/rect?

I plan on putting an oem style filter set back on it. Just haven’t ordered them yet. Thanks for the info!
