What's up
« on: September 22, 2008, 06:16:03 AM »
I purchased a 1982 CB650SC around the start of the summer.  I quickly found out it had charging issues...which it seems like many of the 650s do.  I wanted to just use the bike as a starter and then upgrade to a 599 or a Monster, but I have really grown to like the bike.  I may try to restore her now.  Glad there is a community like this for the CBs.  I was on several forums when I owned a few CRXs.

Glad to be a part of the SOHC4 community.

Welcome.  The 650 is a nice bike, once you get past the issues.

I've come to find those issues out one by one.  Replaced a bad rotor already.  Now searching for side panels.  I think the shocks are bad, but can't really tell since I've never owned another bike before.
