Hello from North Texas
« on: November 05, 2014, 07:00:35 PM »
Greetings everyone. I joined this forum because I'm looking for a piece of my past. Specifically a 1982 cb650 standard. I bought one new in high school and rode the fool out of it. Loved that bike. Now I would like to find another one. So if anyone is looking for a good steward of one of these great bikes that isn't going to chop it up, I'm your guy. In the meantime I will be here on the sidelines drooling.

Well thanks Goldarrow but I believe I will wait and find a whole bike.

Here is one in Plano.  Don't know how badly they cut the frame for that seat.

if you dont trial spin the camshaft in the head and cover you are a novice,with no natural mechanical appitude,destined for destruction.

I saw a really nice one at Barber for $1400, sounded great, looked new, low miles.

That's a reasonable price Faux Fiddy. Wish I was there. I spent acouple of years looking for my '86 VFR750 and if it takes a while to find this piece of my past, so be it. They are great bikes and I will find the right one and give it a good home.
