I know the Nighthawk 650 was a DOHC. I don't know about the SOHC, though.

I know The 83, and after, nighthawk was a dohc.
My 82 cb650sc was still a sohc model
I believe you could get a plain cb650 sohc, or a custom as
far back as the 78 model, but not sure, I would need
help on that info....

cb(r), Don't feel bad, there have probably been quite a few who have done the same thing
now and again. I know that I've done it more than once without thinking. But hey, we're only
human. Have a good one. Later on, Bill

Thanks bill. Glad to see that this forum doesn't punish a person for making goofs.

dont relax just yet,the punishment committee is meeting to discuss your case as i type this.

I understand some markets kept the sohc untill 84 as the luxury custom. Looks just like the 82 nitehawk. 79 was the first year 1 model only in US.

So if you buy a bike for 1 grand and rebuild the carbs 3 times what does make you?

SOHC CB650's went from 79 to 82, 80 through 82 had the "Custom" model option, this may or may not have included depending on the year: Comstars or spoked wheels and 4 into 4 exhaust instead of 4 into 2. From 79 to 82, there were a few more changes, the handlebars slowly got wider. The tappet covers had "CB650" on them for the 79 model but not for the rest that I know of.

Don't forget the venerable '82 CB650SC.

It was the only year they made it in SOHC format. I guess that makes my bike rare. Unforutunately it's still only worth a couple hundred bucks.

It had comstars with dual disc front brakes and a slightly different gear ratios, head and carbs. 118 mains and 80 main air jets instead of 120 mains and 100 main air jets.

I hope there is a witness protection to hide me from the punishment

dusterdude · « **Reply #20 on:** March 22, 2006, 11:44:00 AM »

yea thats right,we need witnesses to your punishment,any volunteers?

DammitDan · « **Reply #21 on:** March 22, 2006, 11:50:00 AM »

Only if it involves a forced ride and thumbtacks under the seat cover...

Hopefully knowlegable of carbs.

well I learned another thing from this site. I probably never want to go out drinking with duster or dammitdan. If they have twisted thoughts like this when they are sober I can just imagine the trouble I would get into when they are under the influence. Oh ya you guys are sober? aren't you?

funny stuff

and the 1000 bucks and 3 carbs thing. you are a Pusher.
you are probably pushing that bike more that riding it.

cb650 · « **Reply #24 on:** March 22, 2006, 12:37:22 PM »

I would hope one the 3rd time he got it right. If not hes not afraid to work on it when it breaks down instead of calling a tow with the cell standing around in the brand new biker garb.
