My 1981 Cb650 Custom look
« on: March 09, 2010, 06:07:50 PM »
I bought this cb as my first bike and love it to death have done a ton of work to it and am quiet pleased with where its at now still not 100 percent done but its getting there tell me what ya think of my design.  When I bought it it barely ran and the brakes didnt work and the front end had been bent in a crash so I fixed the front end got a new rim took off the huge fairing it had on it and fixed all the wiring so it worked as well then set to work cleaning it.  Then this winter i got the bug to customize it a lil to make into my own custom dream bike and so far Im happy with the results I still am going to put on a harely fat boy tank on it that I bought for longer trips and give it a nice paint job maybe 2 tone black and white.  It has a sportster seat and hard tail right now strait pipes with stage 3 carb kit and single airfilters it really screams now. Heres a video of it the most recent. Its gone through a few paint stages heres some of those older videos
This is when it was red the first try at paint.
Then I tried some custom paint.
Then this winter I started on it again heres the first winter video
Then open pipes in this one
Then this one has the fat boy tank in it should be done with that soon

Stage 3 kit is for the CV carbs.  All new needles jets and about anything that you'd need.
They are utube links I'm seeing.  Yes the fat bob tank is wider then the 650 engine.
