HondaCB650

I have a nice set for $20 plus shipping.

The engine is still pretty clean and won't take much to clean it up. The headers are pretty blued up... Somebody has been running it hot. Might check the plugs for a lean condition.

Looks great. good job!

Did I read something about a picture ??

I believe you will also need the 81 fender as well.

According to Mr Volker's numbers the rotor should be 4 to 10 ohms.

Looking at the rotor the rings are the brass looking circles that the brushes would be contacting.

FYI: I recently purchased an 85 CB650SC also and it came to me with a Uni filter. The plugs were to white to suit my tastes so I replaced the Uni with a stock Honda filter to get more fuel flow. The bike now has a bit more soup and runs better in general. IMHO

Hey bud glad you are liking the parts. Didn't know you needed a seat. I do have an original seat in pristine condition if you are interested. Advertised on this site in "bikes" .... CB 650 seat 1980-81.

The only difference I know of is the custom covers have an emblem instead of the decal. This does mean that the custom cover will come with holes for the emblem to mount thru. I have good metal emblems for the custom set mentioned in the e-mail.

I would like to thank the guys, and gal, from this forum for all the help in getting this project taken care of. It has been a pleasure doing business with each of you. As relisted in the original post (Top of page 1) now there are a few pieces left but mostly it is gone. MAKE ME AN OFFER I CAN'T RE...

Kudos for the seat, it looks nice. FYI: If you shorten the fender you get wet nasty stripe up your back and head if the road gets wet. You also devalue your bike (throw away money). IMHO

Check the new bulb to the battery just for grins. Also my horns didn't work either, and as a desperate last thing to try I adjusted the screws on the back of the horns. Horns went honk honk.

Will forks from 1980 cb650 fit to a 1975 cb550?

I do like the candy red color on the side panels. I have not seen it on a complete bike in person however. They would be an easy prep for a repaint/color change. I figure if a person is needing side covers they are likely building a bike and will need to repaint anyway.
