First CB

Postby k9shag » Wed Apr 11, 2012 7:07 pm

Here is my first vintage motorcycle. CB650C. previous owner was a mechanic and rebuilt the brakes, carbs, forks, replaced all cables and painted the tank and side covers. New tires seat cover, everything works and so far nothing leaks. 26K original miles. It has been a long time since I had a motor with carbs and a choke. Always wanted a CB and the VTX 1800 has company in the garage. Look forward to learning from all of you here.

Make sure if there is oil in there at all.
If yes, this bike might be a falsification! :lol:

I love that black and chrome look. Going to copy for mine! Those black handlebars are interesting. Are they painted or black metal?
