newbie 650Z owner, lots to do!!!
« on: October 18, 2006, 03:00:30 AM »
Hi all, newbie here from UK. Just got a CB650Z after many years away from bikes (Hey, I was starting to ride when this bike was in the showrooms, so you get an idea of my age). Wanted a project that didn't take up all the garage, like my cars do, so thought a bike from my early days would be good for a change. Lots to do, and plenty of questions will follow, but take a look at the website showing where I am right now.

details here >>> http://uk.geocities.com/cb650@btinternet.com/

regards, Phil,
Sussex, England.

Wow, that bike is pretty rough...

Having said that, though, good choice!! I've got a '79 650Z and love it!

Plenty more activity recently. It's all on the website (see sig) but here's a few bits of late.

Got the frame back from powdercoating today (satin black), so lots of rebuilding to get onto.

Nice!

Looks like you are doing quite a job, be interested to see what it looks like fully assembled when you are done!

However I must say, the rims look odd to me.
But thats 'cause my '79 cb650 has the reversed comstars....
