My Cb650 Custom

[lafa2003]

I bought it for half a year~
After repairing work,now is cleaning work.
Large project...

[cb650]

Cleaning is never finished. Looks like a non 81 cusom front end.

Welcome here!
Yes, this bike seems to have some decent mods. E.g. the rear axle should just pass the bottom 4-4 silencer without the need to remove it.
You got it running properly?

Thanks for your reply.
1980 or 1981,puzzles me long time~
Frame/VID is RC05-

[Volker_P]

This looks like 1981 on engine/carbs.

If you get ahead with German, you may try to find out with your frame number at: http://www.kleinjung.de/techdata/index.htm

81 or 82 standard I would guess. Thats when they started using the dual piston calipers.

V you dont have to remove the bolt on us models to get the wheel out.
Thought it would be the same set up as yours.

[Volker_P]

It is the same with ours, you can release and flip the tensioners down, remove the holders and pull out the whole thing to rear. But in principle you could do it by pulling the bolt and I prefer it that way at least for installation (far a reason I probably won't remember until I have it in my hands next time ). Just wanted to state that this bottom silencer looks like non stock length.

Rear axle...
I changed the rear tire yesterday,and cleaned the silencer.So I removed the rear axle .
The engine works well,but the front brake pump was broken...

Thank u so much~~~

Yes the bottom pipe should be shorter. didnt catch that the first time.

[lafa2003]

80 or 81,still puzzled me.
I was born in 1980,so...if my bike was born in 1980 too, a ha ~~~~~
Its great~

[cb650]

even if it was built in latter part of 80 its a 81. CV carbs.

[Custom81]

the colors appear to be those of an 81 custom, but it looks like it only has one front disc, whereas an 81 custom would have dual front discs.

As I stated before looks like someone put on a front off a standard model but kept the comstar. Easy swap to do if you change the triple trees.
