Re: 1981 cb650 Std resusitation

Dude, that is one sweet Honda. Absolutely beautiful. I'd be happy to take her off your hands but I'm broke from spending all my scratch on my own 650 which unfortunately, is not nearly as pretty as yours. Good luck though, I hope it finds a loving home.

Q tip carburetor.

:? Here is a "genius" move I made that I would like to share in the hopes of someone coming up with an idea to fix it. I was rebuilding my #1 carb (VB44A) and I used a q-tip soaked in carb cleaner to clean the bottom tubes of the main jet, slow jet and the other one, not sure what it is bu...

Re: sidestand compatibility

I have an 81' custom and the sidestand seems to be too long as the bike stands nearly straight up on it. Maybe a previous owner of your bike had the same problem and installed a sh...

Re: anybody have any GOOD used tires?

I know what you mean, my bike still has the factory tires from all the way back in 1980 (the mfg date). They look ok but I would be scared to go very far or fast on them. I think maybe you should go for the shinkos, I looked at them as well and cheap, new tires are better than risking your bike and ...

Re: my 1981 cb650 custom project

The bike looks great, and considering it actually :D runs, I'd say $150 is like you said, a hell of a deal. :D

Brake issues on 81 CB650C.

First I would like to express my appreciation for a forum dedicated to the cb650. It's nice to see that I am not the only one trying to resurrect one of these bikes. I've had mine since 1992 and it's been laid up in a storage building since '95. When I finally got it out this July, I found among oth...
