Welcome here! :D
I was not aware that one can still buy the CB650 new at a shop. Not much to add to that, I guess? Very impressing!
BTW, I have a scan of the German Bucheli manual in case you like it.

I strongly recommend to wear welding glasses during that! :lol:
I spent much time for polishing when I was a student and even some guys asked me whether my bike was new, however I never came close to that. So you certainly have my respect.

German company,
Why did I know that!, maybe because They make great stuff.

you buy every thing there? even the protective welding glasses.

If I was a cop I would give you a ticket for causing blindness.
just kidding.

Want to polish my bike? It looks like yours is done..... any more and you might polish it apart.
If you have some kind of polishing fetish please come polish my bike, pretty please with sugar on top. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thanks for the link. Very professional stuff, I remember a circular saw that also had 2.2kW. :)
For the near future however, I will be busy with other work and be already happy to find at least time to keep the CB alive and half way clean and go a bit riding.
arcangel, any guess where the original Autosol and Wenol recipes come from? :wink:
