newbie ..king of newbies

Postby inferno » Mon Oct 14, 2013 4:44 pm

I am psyched to be apart of this forum and look forward to learning from all of you. I picked up an 81 cb650 custom the other day, was search for either a cb, kz, xs, basically something to bob. Little back story I have been working and racing tuners for about 15 yrs. So I have some mechanical knowledge. I do not know how to ride a bike, I also don't even have a permit(36yrs old). I was going to see a client one day and saw a cb bobbed out and said to myself they definitely look cool and with a couple of buddies getting bikes this year ,I said what the hell. So here I am bike is currently being torn down(so ive got parts if your looking) Starting with carbs as soon as I got it running it started pissing gas. I'm assuming I need to replace pins and seats. Ive got an idea of what I want this bike to look like in my head and I'm hoping to share the progress with all of you. Also looking for spoked wheels if youve got em.
