New Member - Nice to meet you guys!

Hey Everyone, nice to meet you!

So I bought this bike about 3 weeks ago:


And love it so far, bought the Clymer manual, so it's definitely a keeper! I'm slowly working out some mechanical issues (started a thread in the technical section for that stuff), once I've got it running and riding great, I'm trying to decide if I want to restore it to stock as much as possible or go totally custom on the look. I can't seem to find those dang plastic side covers for the life of me - so I may just have no choice but to start going custom haha.

Anyway, looking forward to meeting you all!

All the best,
Fitz

Welcome aboard, that's a great bike, Many great members and many great resources here. What ever direction you choose to go you'll do fine. Those were fine looking bikes in stock trim.

The Claw has sidecovers....
https://www.ebay.com/itm/1982-85-Honda-CB650SC-Nighthawk-Left-Side-Cover-83710-ME5-0200-PL223-SC8/233438370652?hash=item365a02db5c:g:B4sAAOSwaSld7~WM

Stev-o, I think that item is mislabeled, for the most part it seems the '83-'85 stuff is all cross-compatible, but not compatible with the '82 or '81. My side covers (well, the 1 that I have anyway haha) look like this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/82-Honda-CB650SC-Nighthawk-cb650-cb-650sc-side-fairing-covers-left-right-cowl/372998827965

I'd get those ones but I'm not willing to pay USD $260 for some plastic :P
