Turbo maybe?
« on: September 01, 2018, 12:28:53 PM »
Hey guys just wanna get your thoughts on this... I have a spare cb650 motor and I'm kind of tempted to turbo this thing. If I'm going to rebuild a second motor I mean why not? Has anyone done this before successfully?

Sure, there's a couple turbo bikes on the forum, one member rides his 550 turbo al the time.

Look up the turbo 550's on youtube.
Lucky people scooped up usable vintage kits.
Others fabricated their own!
