Hello All,

My name is Travis and I am from Cape Town, South Africa. In January I bought a 1979 Honda CB650, 1 complete bike, 2 engines and a spare frame to be accurate with the intention of creating something truly unique. Have always been a practical hands on, working with tools person with a somewhat crazy imagination.

Thus far I have stripped one frame and sent the engine away for stripping and assessment of the internals.

My parts list comprises of the following:

Engine:

SOHC 650 Honda
Dynoman 674cc Piston Kit
Keihin CR33 Roundslide Carbs
Mac 4-1 Exhaust
Polished Allen Cap Bolt Set
Lockhart Oil Cooler Setup
Ported and Polished Head
Heavy Duty Clutch Kit
New Engine Gasket Kit - Full

Chassis:

CB 650 Frame - Shaved and Cleaned
2005 Yamaha R1 Front Swop - Complete
2002 Ducati 748 Rear Swop - Complete
2006 Yamaha R6 Rearsets

Controls:

Brooks Handle Grips
Motion Pro Push/Pull Throttle Assembly
Pyramid Parts Clutch, Throttle, Tachometer Cables
Yamaha R1 Brake and Clutch Levers with Master Cylinder
Dime City Cycles Brake Reservoir

Electrics:

New Stator, Rotor and Ignition System
Custom Wiring Harness made with Vintage Connectors
Round Vintage Style Brake Light
Dark Tint Indicators

Extras:

Harley Davidson Vintage Petcock
Brass Spy Window Fuel Level
Concave Round Rearview Mirrors

Undecided:

Headlight - Unsure to go round vintage with a yellow tint or something retro, LED, halo style.
Footpegs - To match Brooks leather handles.
Fuel Tank - Original with Leather Detailing
Battery - Smallest Possible
