1975 honda cb 360 plastic side cover?

Question

will the side covers of a 1975 cb500k or 550k fit on the cb360? i've checked jcwhitney and bikebandit and they dont carry the exact model part im looking for... should i just keep an eye on ebay? where do you guys get your old plastic? also, what is the color code for the pretty candy/ light blue model? thanks for any help!

Answer 1

The Covers aren't the same,,but probably could be adapted to fit.

The Blue is called Candy Riviera Blue.
Code is PB-5C-S
0r
PB-5C-C

...........................................................................
Another code,(I THINK it's old Lubritech code/number system??)
PB-1-NL

I agree with you about that blue color,,very,very pretty.

It's Tuff to get a "perfect match" if you're planning on painting just the side covers.
Partly because it's a multi-step process paint,,,not a simple solid color.
And partly because it fades a bit over time.

Bike Paint can get a bit expensive.

Ford and GM both had a color that was so similar,,they'd pass for each other unless all 3 were side by side.

Ford's was code 3M, called "Silver Blue Glow".
GM's,,I dont have any idea,,but they used it on late 70's~early 80's pickup trucks

This paint chip doesnt do the actual paint jobs justice.
Ford had a few colors that were "special order" called "Glow",,,starting in early~mid '70's.
It had a "Candy" type of appearance,,,,but with an unusual sort of neon effect to it.
It actually Did seem to Glow.
Has a higher Gloss Shift than most candy paint--it goes from just a shiny paint to an "actual glow" at various angles

If you put these 2 side by side,,You can get an idea.
They're a a LOT closer than it looks.

Point of mentioning "Car" paint,,,
is that You can get Very Close,,,and Might be able to save some $$$

If you're interested in it,,,Most any auto paint store or car body shop is usually happy to let you look thru their Paint Books/Chip Charts

Here's the blue sidecover on Ebay:

Here's a color chart--(which doesnt even begin to accurately represent the paint,,,let alone it's visual effect in daylight)
Silver Blue Glow Code:3M

Good Luck,,hope ya find all that you need.

Answer 2

I was going to Mention Ebay and Bikebandit. Nevermind. Try to cross refrence the part with similar bikes on Bandit. I also need the R side plastic for my bike 85 Honda xr200r. The real kicker is my buddy just bought the same bike, also missing the R plastic.
