1981 CB650 Custom
The tank was rusted through in several places when i got it; I replaced it with a clean solid tank from a CM400.
The solenoid had been home-brewed; replaced
The handlebars were of the wheelbarrow variety; I replaced with something with a mild bend.
Had no tach: found a replacement.
Had not tach cable or choke cable; found replacements.
Idiot light cluster was badly damaged. I adapted a nicer cluster from a 750 but am currently working on creating something truly unique.
Dropped the instrument cluster 1.5", dropping the headlight a few inches now too (in progress)
Carb cleaning is a nightmare. It ran when i got it, but it turns out it only ran on two cylinders. Slowly making good progress but not there yet.
Replaced carb-to-manifold boots.
Long term goals include fabricating a shorter seat and chopping the rear fender in favor of a smaller light cluster.
