Re: 1981 Honda CB650C project in Amsterdam

Hi myers, you may find this link useful. http://www.motopsyco.com/2013/08/09/vintage-piston-valve-keihin-carburetor-overhaul/ BTW, what number is stamped on to the carb body? just above the float bowls. I believe it’s 51F A SF9 Link = priceless. Thank you! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171019/...

Re: 1981 Honda CB650C project in Amsterdam

Makes sense. I’ll keep an eye on local “ebays” for a new tank. I will try my best to clean this one out as for now it’s the only tank I have. If all fails I always wanted to make a decorative shelf out of a motorcycle tank or something like that :) In the meantime I have removed the carburetors from...

Re: 1981 Honda CB650C project in Amsterdam

Hi myers and welcome :D It sounds like you got a bargain but unfortunately your pictures aren't showing :( That epoxy tank liner was probably used because the tank was leaking as I don't know anyone in their right mind that would use it otherwise as it never lasts. Thanks a lot! Photobucket is acti...

Re: 1981 Honda CB650C project in Amsterdam

Got a reply from a previous owner that this is a kind of epoxy paint shop put in the tank to make sure it’s pressure tight.

I am not a specialist, but this is a weird move! Now it’s all over the tank in chunks clogging up petrol flow.

Re: 1981 Honda CB650C project in Amsterdam

Soooo, I started cleaning the tank tonight. I took it off the motorcycle a couple of days ago and took it home. I don’t really have a garage at this very moment, so I take parts off and drag them home :) First I drained as much fuel as I can. And by that I mean that it felt like there was a good lit...

1981 Honda CB650C project in Amsterdam

Heya Honda people, I have no idea what I'm doing! But still decided to pick up a project bike. You gotta start somewhere. A really nice gentleman was selling this 1981 CB650 Custom for peanuts (250 euro) an hour drive away from Amsterdam, the Netherlands. So I gave him a call and asked to meet ASAP ...
