Going to look at a '79 CB650
« on: July 24, 2013, 04:11:09 PM »
I'm not a bike guy at all but I've always wanted a 70's Honda CB. Can anyone tell me any common issues and problems to look out for on these. From what I reading they are basically bored out CB550's with their own body parts, right? Thanks.

No not much in common with the 550.   It just replaced and used up the old tooling.
Charging and carbs.  Tanks are hard to find. Especialy ones that havent been molested. ;D

Gotcha, this one is 100% original and low mileage.
