I love those spoke rims.  Wish I had a set of 18" for my 79 cb650.

You can get a 17 off a standard 650 and it will slip right on.

I want to get the front and rear wheel even. I like that feel.  I think it puts more response into the front steering.

My 79 CB 650 is 19" front, 17" rear, stock.  I'd like to match them up at 18" each on wires.  Love wires.

Here's my '82 650 Nighthawk, hoping to get it back to as near original as possible, using it for fun, and it is one of the best rides I've ever had, not the fastest by any means but sooooo nice

I think my 82 CB650 CS (Custom) had them like that Larry.
I think the thing I most like about motorcycling is the speed at which my brain must process information at to avoid the numb skulls who are eating pies, playing the ukulele, applying make-up etc in the comfort of their airconditioned armchairs as they make random attempts to kill me!!!!!!!

Hi everybody!
Sorry for bashing your party. I guess I´m fashionably late, huh?

First post here, but I´ve been lurking for a while. Hope to get to know you all, and how to wrench my bike myself. Not many of my friends are into bikes.

Heres my 1981 CB 650. Just bought it yesterday. All stock except for the Clubman-style bar.

Good for you for getting the Mr.'s a bike of her own.  That's the reason we purchased our CB650C, though it's in Las Vegas right now and my wife is in So. California.
