well......I have an 82 cb650 that was GIVEN to me.....a guy I work with owned it and made the hardtail for it......he went to start it and it backfired through the carbs and caught on fire....ruining all the electrics........I got a guy who has some cb550 motors and was going to transplant one into it.....this motor is still good, but electrical is alot simpler with the cb550 engine...http://www.flickr.com/photos/8422717@N06/2328125788/
