1980 CB650 Custom

Postby andreortiz » Fri Aug 29, 2014 8:41 pm

Hey guys - I'm new to forum and new to riding. I always wanted a bike and decided to indulge myself on my 30th birthday. I've been tinkering with my 1971 CB175 and my new CB650C for the last 2 years (it's been slow moving). While the aesthetics are working out the performance could use some help. I'll be trolling through all the carb related posted for the next few days in an effort to build enough confidence to get in there and start cleaning and adjusting.

Here's what I'm working with. Cheers!
