Honda CJ360 Parts & Accessories

The Honda CJ360 is a lightweight parallel-twin street motorcycle produced by Honda in the mid-1970s, featuring a SOHC 356cc engine and a practical, no-frills design aimed at everyday commuters and new riders. The CJ360 occupies a distinct place in Honda's lineup as a reliable, fuel-efficient machine with enough engine character to satisfy experienced riders as well. These machines were built during Honda's most influential period, and parts availability from specialty suppliers has remained strong enough to keep well-maintained examples running for decades. Owners looking to restore, maintain, or lightly upgrade these classic bikes need carb, ignition, suspension, and drivetrain components that meet OEM specifications.

Popular Upgrades

The most frequently purchased parts for the CJ360 include Keyster carburetor rebuild kits, points and condenser sets, NGK spark plugs, Emgo exhaust pipes, Barnett clutch kits, fork seals, and wheel bearing sets. Dyna ignition conversions are popular for eliminating the maintenance burden of points-based ignition. A set of Barnett clutch friction plates and springs restores positive engagement feel that worn OEM packs can no longer provide.

Performance and Handling

The CJ360 uses twin Keihin carburetors that must be synchronized and rebuilt together to prevent uneven power delivery between the two cylinders. Fork seals on these machines have often dried out over the decades, and replacement is straightforward using standard sizes. The drum rear brake responds well to fresh shoes and proper adjustment. A quality set of Metzeler or Dunlop tires in the correct vintage sizes significantly improves cornering confidence.

What carburetor kit fits a Honda CJ360?

The CJ360 uses dual Keihin slide carburetors. Keyster rebuild kits for the CJ360 include the correct main jets, needle jets, pilots, float valves, and all gaskets for both carbs. Rebuilding both carbs at the same time with matched kits ensures even fueling across the rpm range and eliminates the lean surging common on one-carb-at-a-time rebuilds.

What ignition parts fit a Honda CJ360?

The CJ360 uses a points-and-condenser ignition with a single set of contact breakers. Replacement points and condensers from Dyna or equivalent suppliers restore crisp spark timing. Many owners opt to convert to a Dyna S electronic ignition to eliminate regular points adjustment, especially on machines that see frequent use.

Why These Parts Fit Right

Each part listed specifies the CJ360 production years it covers. Honda parts cross-references are used to confirm compatibility. OEM-equivalent specifications mean standard hand tools are all that is needed for installation.
