Re: New owner of a 1980 cb650 custom

Ok, Thank you both for the advice. I plan on trying to solve this in the next couple days or so. I hope that I do not have to tear apart the carbs...I will try to clean the float pin and the drain srew with the carbs still on the bike. Is that possible? Also I will pop the cover and inspect the cam ...

Re: fuel tank issue

Hey guys, my petcock is pretty nasty...what should I use to clean it? (CLR, Diesle, ??) If I use CLR can I just plop the whole pet cock in a bowl of CLR and let it sit? Also if I just have a light flash rust inside my tank will normal gasoline clean that up once I fill the tank? Thanks for your advi...

Re: 1981 CB650C Cafe Racer Project

A plastidipped fender sounds very interesting. How much did you have to use? I had thought about coating my paintable pieces in spray on liner as I like the low gloss, texture and durability. The plastidip seems like it would be just as, if not more, durable but smooth. Post pics when you get a cha...

Re: Rerouteing Cables / added clubman bars

I have installed clubmans on my 80 cb650c. true, that the cables for the cb650 standard are shorter...however I too was frustrated with a so called "15 minute" mod. All said and done, I did exactly what Paragon describes. I took my cables up above the headlight and then down through the cl...

Re: got my '81 custom today

Hello, I have a 1980 (same tank as 81') cb650 custom tank that I am willing to part with. It is rust free and comes with the petcock. Only problem is a medium sized dent on the front/bottom right of the tank. I am guessing if you are handy at body work you can fix it or take it to a body shop and ha...

Re: 1981 CB650C Cafe Racer Project

VII, sounds good...that is kinda what I was thinking (either cut the support back a little or use black tank trim (the fender is going to get painted black). I will let you know how it turns out. Thanks for the advice, your project is looking good by the way! I know what you're talking about but I d...

Re: 1981 CB650C Cafe Racer Project

The top piece (chrome) around the lip of the rear fender is rolled over to give a finished look. So, When I cut the fender wha...

Hello,
Anyone know where I can find the little cable holder that clips into the front fender and holds the speedometer cable? My cb650 (80') is missing this piece. Thanks for your help.

Re: Tank Swap Ideas

Ok great! So the small difference in fuel line size wont matter? I already have an inline filter so I am guessing that when I use the 81' petcock the fuel line from the petcock to the inline filter will be a bit larger than stock. Are you sure that this will not effect the performance of the bike? I...
