First bike, '83 CB650SC Nighthawk
Posted: Wed May 17, 2017 10:24 pm
Figure I might as well make an introductory post before I start asking questions. Over the weekend I picked up an '83 CB650SC Nighthawk. I got it for cheap but needs a little work. The guy I bought it from said the engine had a knock and included a parts bike that has a running engine, same year and size. Should be a fairly straightforward deal but being my first bike there are things that I'm figuring out. There were some parts already removed from the bike and put in a box so I will be asking for help there as well. All in all it's in pretty good shape, just needs cleaned up and of course swapping the engine.
I am 23 from Indiana and this is my first motorcycle. I have several project cars I'm working on so I'm no stranger to working on these types of things. The plan with this bike is to simply fix it up and get it running so I can learn to ride, then use it as my daily when it's nice out. I only have one picture right now but I will get better ones once it's fixed up and going. Hopefully that's not too far in the future.
