Greetings all,
This is the first street worthy bike I've ever owned. I've been riding friends and relatives bikes for 19 years, but never had one of my own. Finally picked this one up about 3 weeks ago.
It had been sitting since 2008 so the carbs needed attention. After simply cleaning the jets, it fired right up and runs like a Honda. There were only 7600 miles on it when I got it, and I've only put another hundred on it so far. (dang MI weather)
I'd love to have the body repainted, but I really want to put the original Red/Chrome stickers back on afterwords. Does anyone know of a source for them? I haven't found them yet, but I keep looking.

As you cleaned the carbs did you clean tank?

Welcome here!
Really nice bike with low miles. Have fun!
Cleaning the tank is a good hint.

Wow!! She's gorgeous! Really looks like someone took good care of this bike!
So...when will your bike be finished? Umm, never. It is an old bike, there's always gonna be something to do!
Re: '82 CB650SC Nighthawk
Faded paint on the tank was bugging me, so I gave it a new coat of black satin. I also repainted the badges by hand, and had the seat re-covered. I think it looks pretty nice.
Pics a little fuzzy, I'll put up some better ones later.
