So, as per my intro thread, I have a 1980 CB650C that I picked up back in July.
Back when I had a CB750C back in 1994 at the ripe old age of 18, there was a lot of aftermarket support for the old CBs. Exhausts, universal fairings, sprockets, etc. Now, though, it seems aftermarket support for the old Honda CBs has died. I'm looking for some things, and hoping you can point me in the right directions. I do know of Bike Bandit, but it doesn't seem to have a whole lot for my bike.
Here's what I'm looking for.
Exhaust other than Mac (old used Kerker or Vance and Hines would be acceptable, as well.)
Shocks for lowering the rear height - I hate the huge wheel gap on the back end.
Drag bars - Either with slight bends or completely straight. Previous owner had some cafe bars but mounted them upside down. Don't like the look
of them, myself, so once I get what I want, I'll sell the cafe bars. Factory bar diameter is 7/8", correct?
Grips - Preferably rubber. What I've seen on places like E-Bay don't appeal to me.
Carburetor jet kits - I know that some engines (mostly cars) need to be slightly re-jetted after installing a freer flowing exhaust system.
Stock or aftermarket side panels - I have the right side that's in good shape, but the left side cover has 2 of the 3 tabs broken off.
Brake master cylinder - The current one has a lot of corrosion.
Clutch kits - In first and second gear, at higher RPS or under hard acceleration, the clutch slips badly. 3rd through 5th are ok.
Sprockets - I'm looking to go 1-3 teeth bigger in the front and 1-2 in the back. I'm looking more for acceleration but even so, if I can get up to about
120-130MPH, that'd be awesome.
Gasket kits - The odometer only says 32,xxx miles, and there doesn't seem to be any discrepancies with the title reflecting that, but the engine leaks
oil something fierce.
Engine rebuild kits/bore up kits - I know Wiseco made kits for the CB750 as I had one in mine. Does anyone know where one could be found for a
CB 650 or would going to a 750 engine be the better route?
Most all the other things I want for it, I know where to find it.
If anyone has any of the above listed items and wants to offload them for a fair price, please, let me know!
Thanks!!!
