Hello from just about to be new owner of a 79 CB650Z
« on: February 23, 2015, 12:36:41 PM »
Hi all,

I am about to acquire this lovely old girl... 1979 CB650Z. I started riding in 1979. The CB will be my 18th bike in this time frame.

Congrats, bike looks beautiful.  Here in the States, we didn't get the Z model, and your pics are making me wish we did. :)

+1 on that 4-1 pipe, what manufacturer?
If it works good, it looks good...

Cheers guys.

The can on it is a Marshall. I do not know if the headers are too. Will find out soon when I collect the bike.
