HI from Mass
« on: October 15, 2013, 03:02:51 PM »
first bike ever. (36 yrs old) dont even have a permit nor do i know how to ride so....long ride ahead. always interested in building a bobber. Had my eye on an xs650 but an 81cb650 fell in my lap. So thats what I'm working. Bike was in decent shape and title so that was a bonus. Got it running but pissed gas from carbs so rebuild it is. I'm sure i'm going to have a ton of questions so thanks for the help ahead of time. great to be here.

This is a good place to start also, so you'd do well putting together a list and posting in the "Wanted" section.  I'm sure some of the 650 guys will try to help.

Also, check out member Tom Witt as he parts out a lot of 650 bikes.

I know Sturbrudge well and hope to see you on the roads in the future.
