Battery size

Hey guys. Been following the sight for quite a while now. I purchased a stock battery for my cb650c which is going to be mounted under the hump on my seat. Well the battery the guy used as a mockup was from his gsxr 600. My battery is about 2 inches too tall for the fiberglass seat to come down in p...

Re: Choke question

Might be my problem. -on your picture the black plastic piece next to the double spring is where the choke cable attaches? Mine appea...

Choke question

Hey guy. I have 79 carbs and I'm having a bit of trouble putting them back together. The issue is with the butterfly's and tension springs between the two rods. When I move the butterfly's, should they spring back? Where exactly does the choke cable hook up too? Is this hooked up correctly? The spri...

Tail light and battery are installed. Tail light mounts to the battery box under the hump.

The tank had holes in it from rust. Get it repaired or purchase a new tank that I actually liked....... http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u199/aridecommando/The%20cafe%20racer/image-4.jpg http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u199/aridecommando/The%20cafe%20racer/image-3.jpg http://i168.photobucket.co...

Re: 1980 cb650C cafe racer. Start to current.

Re: 1980 cb650C cafe racer. Start to current.

As I said before..... My first attempt at a rear shock mounting point. It obviously did not go so well. http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u199/aridecommando/The%20cafe%20racer/null-18.jpg http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u199/aridecommando/The%20cafe%20racer/null-14.jpg

Re: 1980 cb650C cafe racer. Start to current.

I decided to keep the comstar rims. I sandblasted them, to save a few bucks before having them powder coated. Was not worth it at all. I took me over 8 hours to do, three bags of sand and only saved me $40.00. http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u199/aridecommando/The%20cafe%20racer/image.jpg I had t...
