Bought a 1981 CB650 regular, 8,000 miles for 500...however,...

It has a lot of cosmetic damage and the seat is torn and brittle from exposure.

It also has electrical issues. And a lot of surface rust on the frame,

It makes a perfect donor bike in this condition since restoration is pretty much out of the question.

So I don’t feel one ounce of guilt about what I am about to do to this bike over the next 6 months  :)

I'd agree that it sounds like a good opportunity for some custom work.

Did you take a 'before' picture?
