New CB60 Owner

Postby nickap » Tue Jul 28, 2009 9:21 am

Hey all, just saying hi ... I just picked up a 1980 CB650C for $250 in pretty decent shape. Needs a new headlight and a little TLC (carbs gummed up, front brake seized) but is really pretty clean overall - very little rust, and no signs of oil leaks etc. I'm hopeful of getting this bike on the road pretty soon, but I may need some advice from the experts along the way! :)

Welcome here! :D
Great bike for that price! Hope you get it running without trouble.
In case you still need a manual, there is one online at:

No oil leaks? Make sure that there is oil inside at all ... :lol:

Welcome. Nice bike! The exhaust alone is worth the purchase price. You may want to look into the H4 halogen headlight conversion for added visibility (night & day). No wiring mods required and a spare bulb is easy to stow on long rides. :wink:
