Cool I was debating that leg as I'll be going to utah the week before. Going to try a little harder to get out there and meet you. Was thinking of the 360 asthe land is a little flatter. :lol:

Coolness! I've been hoping there would be someone who knows what a good-running 650 is like so I can compare my work. After all, all I really have to compare against is how the bike was running before the rebuild (which isn't a fair comparison really).

Maybe if you buy me a beer I'll ride the 650 :lol: Its all stock except for the exhaust. Jerry might be riding my "new" one if he dont get his 750 done.

Sure, I'll buy the beer! But even if you don't ride the 650, I'd still like feedback... Maybe you could take my bike for a spin. 8)

If Jerry rides the new one some pics of all 3. How many times do you see 3 in one spot. Well besides my place. :lol: I was thinking of a pic of all mine too as I'll have 7 here for a month before Dad takes Adams home.

I see them quite a bit. Seen one while my bike was running on 2 when I was having pickup problems. I was on the side of the road doin 30 mph and a truck passed with one in the back. Couldnt even try to catch it.
Another I seen out riding out by the airport. He must been in a hurry to get somewhere as I turned around and buried the speedo and couldnt get close.
Those are the memorable ones. Seen a few more to.
Well hoping Jerry rides my new one and it makes the whole trip.

I am really surprised now.
CB650's are quite rare here and this is one reason I am in this forum because there is no German CB650 forum and my French is too bad...
But I've seen about ten CB650's so far and talked to at least three of the riders. Maybe due to the long time and the much smaller country.

Hi Pinhead,

I got a couple quck questions about this project.

1. I want NGK 0 ohm plugs so I can use Iridium plugs. So I need a model number if you got it.

2. What kind of plug wire do I need to hook up the caps to the coils. Any details here would help out alot.

Thanks!

-Kyle
