Well, Hello all,
I am thinking of overhauling my '79 this winter with pieces I have been collecting over the years.
My '79 650 currently has a few mods I have added through the years.
MANY of them inspired by what I have read here at SOHC4.
61mm pistons,
powdercoated frame
oil cooler
new shocks(rear)
Air assisted setup off a '82 cb650 on the front forks
Dual disk drilled rotor setup for the front tire
'81 swingarm with custom bushings(82? I forget)
31mm CV carbs(600cc ninja)
a fairing(vetter)
and strangely enough a 550 cam(had to try and see if it would really run with one in preperation/hopes of getting a 550 race cam in there one day).
I was origionally going to put my spare bits n pieces on the other 650 I have.....But $$ is tight, christmas coming etc.... Going to sell the other 650.(I currently have 2 '79 cb650's)
The spare bits - n - pieces I am going to play with this winter include:
62mm pistons, rings, bored/honed cylinders(was told the pistons are 10.75:1 CR
)
4-1 exhaust
mini turn signals
stock 650 cam
I might even ditch the fairing and go with a dual headlamp configuration up front.
'82 650 swingarm modified for the 16" rear tire with a disk brake.
I like a fairing some days, and hate it others.
Not sure what I am going to end up doing, I really want to get a CV 650 head to better match the carb spacing of these CV's I am using. I might not put the 62mm pistons in yet though. The 61mm overbore I am currently running is fantastic still IMO.(ie not smoking)
I would like to ditch the rear foot pegs, and do a custom sea for solo riding.
If I can figure out uploading pics, I will add what I can.
