1975 CB360 Brat - Part 2 - Inspiration

Started going through the process of obtaining a title for this bike. Went to DMV and paid $7 to get the name and address of the last titled owner. Paid another $3 for a certified letter to that address that will hopefully be returned to me. Next step is to take that unopened letter to the Motor Vehicle Investigator and have him run the VIN and give me a title.

Other than that, ordered 2 Dunlop K70's 4.00x18, bought a front caliper, kickstand, master cylinder, gasket set, wheel bearings, tapered neck bearings, gaitors, and some other odds and ends to kick this thing off. Also found my inspiration bike. Not going too custom on this build, pretty run of the mill.

Buell XB12X Muffler Paint

So first thing you will probably notice is the rusty muffler. This was typical for all years. Most dealerships would take it under warranty and get it ceramic coated. This thing is super thick and acts as a skid plate as well so rust would take forever to eat through it, however I don't like the way it looks. Got some high temp paint and got busy.

New Toy 2006 Buell XB12X Ulysses

Been wanting one of these for a while. Not my normal style, but I have such respect for the innovation behind the design. Less than 6000 miles on this one for $3500. Gonna be doing some mild mods but it's mainly gonna be a commuter for me. Stay tuned!

Street Tracker Part 3 - Collecting Parts

So I ordered my tires today. Picked up tubes, a spoke wrench, the rear wheel for my front. Also of course have my tank and light. Man, I'm just tearing through the list.
