Smooth 1974 Honda CL360 by Josh Mott

"It's old, but it ain't cold", this is what came in mind when we first saw Josh Mott's take on an 1974 Honda CL360. In fact, this bike is not only "not cold": it is a smoking hot build!

Idaho-based Josh Mott took good care of this barn find, and has restored it to a greater glory than such a bike could ever dream about. Once cleaned, the CL360 got rebuilt carbs and suspensions, and a lot of other modern-day upgrades: a lithium-ion battery, Trail Tech gauge, new headlights.

While some of the parts are simply mounted, Josh also fabricated others to suit the mini H-D XR 750 theme he had in mind. Hubs got drilled, the engine got a crinkle paint job and in the end, the bike received a nifty bright orange and black livery, screaming out racing DNA.

Jeff says the bike rides like a dream and sounds even better; it will be available on eBay in a couple of months, and Jeff smiles: "I cannot wait to show the previous owner what her old bike looks like now." Seen on Pipeburn.
