Topic: Do the 79 & 80 CB650 use the same kickstand?

[broncomarc]

I had someone back into my bike today and bent the kickstand and broke a turn signal lens.  I've got a 81 CB650c parts bike I was able to get the lens off of, but the kick stand is different.  I found someone with a 79 kickstand, but I'm wondering if it's the same as my 80.

Thanks..

Your 81 should be the same or very close. The 79 same.  I've had more informed people tell me diff but I compared all mine and close enough to work.

The 81 is a CB650c..  The custom might be the difference.  It looked like the exhaust pipe was tucked in more, the kickstand hinge was more exposed, and the kickstand didn't have the big loop on it that goes around the muffler since it looks like the kick stand doesn't tuck up behind the muffler like on my 80 CB650..  The 79 I saw looked the same as mine, but I just wanted to make sure before I bought it.

Thanks..
