Not bad, exactly one hour from frustration to exuberance.  :D

Same thing happened to me mate, I thought all me valves were chattering and I was in for big repairs, amazing what tricks our minds play on us. ;)
Anyhow now you have a really big question for yourself, now it runs better do you sell it and move onto the 400 you were looking at or forge ahead and cure the rest of the 650?
Good luck with that one. :)

Geez man, sorry to hear that! Glad you came out of it with relatively minimal damage. No matter how you look at it riding a motorcycle is dangerous and we all have to decide if we can live with that level of danger or not. Me, I'm resigned to the fact that I will likely get in a wreck some day, which is why I ALWAYS were all my gear. I can't necissarily control fate, but I can sure try and mitigate some of the damage by wearing the correct gear. (stepping down from soap box)

What got damaged on the bike? I'm sure someone can help you get some replacement parts for cheap. I don't know if they will fit, but I have a bunch of parts from the 1980 650 custom parts bike. This is of course assuming you decide to continue on  :)

Either way, glad you are ok!

Sorry to hear you laid it down, glad to hear you are ok.

remember the '79 has a TON uf unique parts to that year (in the US) ONLY.
Turn signals being one of those.
I MIGHT have a few turn signals that are useable.
I'll check and let you know.
As for a side cover, that too is unique on the '79.... and sorry I don't have a spare one....
In fact I have somehow misplaced my right one in the garage/house lately.

At least you know it goes fast enough to get you into trouble. ;D

Sorry to hear about the bike being down. I was reading about your saga with the valves, and for future reference, You can get #1 intake and exhaust valves adjusted, only to find out that #2 exhaust is too tight on the cam. You will need to turn the crank 360* and start over with the #1 cylinder valves.

well guys im somewhat reviving my project thread. i added some clubman handle bars on to the bike tuesday and love riding it now. the only problem i have is my wrists are a tiny bit sore after a ride but then i think, i have the old seat pan and foam. i was gonna try and shave down the foam and recover it to make it my own custom seat. i also added a new choke cable to the bike wich doesnt exactly fit in the perch on the top fork clamp but it works fine and is good where it is. later today im going to get out for another ride and take pictures of the bike, so finall people can see what a bad ass 1979 cb650 looks like.

Hey you replaced the bars??


Would you be interested in selling the original bars??
The ones on my '79 I am restoring to stock are bent..... after tipping the bike over......




PM me if interested.



As for the wrists hurting, try going faster so the air pressure lifts a little pressure off your wrists.....
Try 70+mph :)
Worked for me with the Z-bars I ran with for a while.

Don't forget I own two '79 cb650's now. One is the leftover bike, and the other will be straight stock...
:)

And a '81('82?)...

I think i'm obsessed.

Looks nice, I like that third pic.
Do you plan on doing a paint job eventually or keeping the original paint?
