Hello from British Columbia!
« on: December 19, 2012, 03:42:52 PM »
Hello,
I just joined this forum, I was a member on the cb650 forum and figured I would give this one a shot too, quite a few more members here  ;D I live in Kelowna British Columbia and ride a 1980 650c. Prior to that I had an 84 vt500 that I crashed and sold for parts. The cb is quite a bit better to ride. Ive had it for almost 9 months now, I picked it up pretty cheaply in the spring from a guy here in town. Ive done a bit of work to it to get it back into shape; new clutch and cable, front brake pad, new fork seals and boots, new tires, new headlight, valve stem seals and head gasket and a clean up inside the top of the motor, new bars plus lots of  cleaning to make her look good. Ill get some pics up here in the next few days. Future plans,  I need a new rotor, and im switching to stainless steel brake lines but other than that i just intend to ride. who knows where it will go though!

Welcome to the site ;D.  The best way is to start a photobucket (or similar) account and post the image code into your reply.



It'll bring your pictures up like this ;D

Edit:-Sorry Scottly something f#(<ed up there

To the OP; expect to hear from Frank, AKA 754. ;)
