Greetings from NC
« on: March 07, 2017, 06:53:25 PM »
Hey all!

My name's Jake- just moved to NC for the Air Force and just this past weekend finally picked up a SOHC this weekend- an 82 CB650.  Only has 18260 on the odometer (assuming that's accurate).  Been lusting after the SOHCs for years but never found one at this price.  Hasn't run in a while, but the engine turns over by hand.  Needs a good bit of work but that's the fun!  I'll try and get some better pictures of it up here at some point.  .  Not exactly sure what route I want to go when rebuilding and customizing it... .  Inputs are more than welcome!! 

This forum has been amazing for all my research, and now that I finally have the bike I signed up.  Can't wait to share the process and learn a bunch from everyone.

Jake

No- I'm a pilot at Seymour Johnson. I think it's about 70 miles east of ft Bragg if memory serves.
