Re: 82' CB650 Project Bike Update:Frames mods and new brake MC and Clutch leverl Its been quiet here as i have been traveling for work a lot. I got some fun stuff in the mail and got to work modding my frame today. CNC Clipons from ebay. They were $79.99 shipped and they look great. I like...

I know this has been discussed already but in the future you have to include the fenders, fork brace and let the owner take them off if he likes. If he crashes because the tire threw a piece of gravel in his eye or because he got wobbly in a corner or at speed due to the lack of a fork brace he...

Well...After all that work on the brakes it turns out the PO had swapped on a 5/8" Master Cylinder on to my single disc CB650. Thats a no go so after spending $100 rebuilding and hours sanding cleaning and shaping they (MC and Clutch Lever) are on ebay now. Getting a more appropriate 12mm MC...

Excellent! I just put my existing MC and Clutch lever on ebay along with a few other things. As soon as they sell i'll get a set. Do you have some pics of them installed?

If you want to it to look perfect without a lot of work take your tins to a body shop and have a pin stripe laid down over the edges of the stripes. White or red...maybe a copper/bronze would look good. For future reference if you are going to paint a stripe shoot a coat of the base color...

I got the long loop today. You are awesome man...can't believe how fast you got it to me and its perfect! Thank you! Now I just need to carefully cut the existing seat rail out and fit your loop in its place.

I completely tore down cleaned and refinished these levers before finding out the PO had been running too big a master cylinder for my single disk setup. The Master cylinder is 5/8" and would be great for any twin disk setup, a GL1000 conversion or any modern front end conversion. The master...

I have been emailing with the seller and I got some more info. It seem the Master cylinder has a 12mm piston. This is perfect for single disc applications but is all wrong for twin discs. I am close to pulling the trigger on this as it looks good and is appropriate for my setup. I will make...

I need an 8"-8.25" O.D. Loop with extra long ends. Please see attached drawing. Could you let me know if you can make this and what the price would be? The ends don't have to be exact...just close in length. I am going to do something like this (...

No doubt. I have seen you on a lot of threads and I know you know your shit. I am not a knucklehead and I listen to those that have more experience. My goal is to build the best bike I can. I want a well finished end result. Everything has to fit right, have nice flowing line and look like...

Thanks for tips. I had read the same cleaning procedure on the SOHC4 forum. I did a quick cleaning after honing with soap and water but I will go nuts on it to make sure it is crystal clean before assembly. I am traveling next week and have a lot of parts on the way so next updates will be a...

Re: 82' CB650 Project Bike More Progress Brake overhaul Made a lot of progress this weekend. I ordered a ton of parts from Service Honda (gaskets, orings, brake rebuild kits....) mainly for engine assembly so I cleaned up, flexhoned and painted my cylinders. My front brakes were not...

Re: 82' CB650 Project Bike Did a lot of work this weekend on the top tree. I will be running clip ons and different gauges so I cut off and reshaped the upper triple tree. I made a heck of a pile of aluminum dust but the results were worth it. Next up: I need to order some gaskets, rings...

Re: 78 550/650 Streetfighter - Rollin' on two wheels! Can you show some pics of the adapters you made for putting the GSXR discs on the Honda hub?

Re: 82' CB650 Project Bike - More Progress Forks Done! I spent a lot of time on these prepping the lowers and the trees. I had planned to polish the fork lowers but they had some pitting that was too deep to sand out. I ended up hand sanding the lowers with 120/220/320 paper. Then priming...
