Deleting the rear fender 1980 cb650
« on: March 31, 2011, 12:25:48 PM »
Have a 30 year old cb650 I'm planning on bobbing out in the future. How would I go about deleting the rear fender?

More specifically, is there a custom bracket I can throw on, or do I need to get the welder out?

And it looks dang awesome Larry. ;D
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!!!!!!!

That's another mod I just don't understand.  If you remove too much or all of it, the first time you go through a puddle, your back is wet.
Go metric, every inch of the way!

Dig it Scunny. The exact look I want.

What kind of pods are those? Painted rims?

don't worry 333, the rear fender still does it's job.
they are unifilter pods. don't use pods unless you like tinkering.
rims are standard Z type.
