Parting Out: 1980 Honda CB650 [Murdercycle #10]

1980 Honda CB650
This is a project bike I bought last week. The owner put a lot of work into building it how he wanted it. Even had 'Murdercycle' cut out in the front fender (I didn't get the front fender). Not really my thing, but kinda cool. Unfortunately for the seller, when he went to get the title transferred into his name, he discovered that the VIN on the bike did not match the title. So he was stuck. He parked the bike in his garage. That's where it has sat since last year. It was running at one time. I have not tried to start it. 14,272 miles showing on the odometer.
FAQ:
- The cam has sold.
- Frame has had some minor alterations. I do not have a title.
- Yes, this bike has two headlights.
- I do not have the original seat.
- I DO have the 16" rear wheel that matches the front.
- It currently has a 17" wire-spoke wheel mounted on the rear.
- Appears to have the exhaust from a 650 'Custom'.
- I do not have the stock airbox.
- Pegs appear to be aftermarket.
This will make the tenth CB650 that I have parted out in the past couple years. Some might think that I am a business, but I'm not. I'm a stay-at-home dad of three, an average Joe, and a motorcycle junkie. I own and ride several different bikes. I have a small workshop in the basement of my home. I often buy local UJM's from the late 70's and early 80's. I did not intentionally try to 'specialize' in the CB650, but they tend to follow me home more often than any others. I part them out to supplement my wife's income and try to help make ends meet, and sometimes I fix them for myself.
I will answer PM's, but if you have an interest or questions about specific parts, it's usually best (and quicker) if you email me directly at witttom@yahoo.com (three T's in w-i-t-t-t-o-m).
I will be updating this thread with a list of parts that have sold. It is fairly common for me to ship parts out the following day after receiving a PayPal payment, but sometimes it takes me two or three. If PayPal doesn't work for you, we can figure out an alternative. If you do not see the part that you need, check with me. I still have LOTS of parts from my other CB650's and may have what you're looking for.
