Found a completely original 81 cb650 custom everything is original all the way down to the original tool kit/owner manual in the original pouches. Runs amazing bought for 750$ and I drove it home today. I know I will probly get some hate for this but I will probly do a little bit of altering from original.butnothing perminant. Because I like the cafe racer look so mainly just change the bars and seat other then that original. Pics willbe up tonight.
Its my 2nd road bike but I raced motocross for my entire life up until I was 16 (two years ago)

Welcome here! :D

Sounds like you really got a good bike for your money.
Interesting that you as a MX-racer can find something on a heavy steelclad with poor chassis.

How bout some pics. I've rode dirtbikes/ motorcycles my whole life and the two have nothing in common. As far as haters... Fuckem. Do what makes you happy, your the one that has to ride it. I might as well get death threats for what I did to mine but I think it looks great. Whatever you do make it different and make it your own.
