Greetings Gang, I am trying to bring my 1980 CB650C back to stock. In that light, I have an opportunity to purchase a stock exhaust from a 1981 CB650. This is the 4 into 4 (2 on each side) exhaust.

Re: Cam Chain Guide

So, no response from the gentleman at Vince and Hyde racing, using the above provided email address.

I was lucky enough to find a cam chain guide (with cam chain tensioner) on Ebay and quickly secured that. As soon as it arrives I'll be back in business.

Cam Chain Guide

Hey guys,

I recently discovered my cam chain guide is split in half! From side to side about half way down. I have been searching online for a new or used one but they appear to be a unicorn. Does anyone have a source for these?

Thanks, Brian

Re: Help - stripped cross head screw!

Hi, thank you for the reply.

Yes the screw is #18 in your diagram. As you know, releasing it releases the speedometer cable from the gear box which makes life easier when taking the tire off. As it is now I have a front tire with a "tail"!
