Houston, do you have a problem?  ;D

Welcome. You can post pictures quickly by using a PhotoBucket account (or similar picture sharing service) to bypass the minimum post count restriction. You can also download much of the manual from within this site to assist you in journey. And here's a link to the complete parts fiche for your bike: http://www.cmsnl.com/honda-cb650-1979-z-usa_model472/partslist/
Use that to understand certain pieces, assemblies, and to gather the OEM part number. Then Google the part number to find a local source for purchase.

The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S.
