cb650 custom build
« on: September 13, 2011, 06:04:48 PM »
Hey guys whats up I'm new to the forum and just bought my first bike a few months ago and just thought I'd post up my progress on the bike. It's a '81 that I picked up off craigslist. So far I've rebuilt the brake calipers and forks. I did just a basic tune up to get it running. I also had to buy all new (new to you at least) switches, handlebar, headlight, and master cylinder. They're not in the pics but I also put K&N air filters on it too.

Heres what it looked like the day I bought it.





In its current state







Soon I should be doing a new exhaust and converting it to a single seater.
