1979 CB650 Project

Postby JJWorld » Mon Oct 18, 2021 4:31 pm

Hi Everyone from Calgary Alberta, Canada.

Thank you for accepting me in your forum. Newbie here and so excited and looking forward to getting great advice from your forum members. I registered back in June but just only getting the time to login.

I have a 1979 CB650 that I bought at the start of the pandemic due to boredom working from home. It was a non runner, green tank and I took the chance on it. Over a year later and it's coming along the way I envisioned this bike will look like. I wanted a bike that would look great cruising in the city and also capable of going off-road as well. I stripped it and installed LED lighting, cafe seat, rear loop weld, and painted comstar wheels with 50/50 hwy/0ffroad tires. My friends call it the Zombie/COVID-19 apocalypse bike lol.

So this is my introduction and I'll have another post on what my issues are with the bike.

Thank you once again and chat to all of you soon.

JJWorld.

Welcome here! :D

Interesting choice of tires!
These rear shocks with regulation reservoir look interesting. Do you have some info on them?
