Anybody have a good route from Cleveland southwest or south suburbs to New Philadelphia. Looking for some winding and/or scenic roads, no highways.

try CL MOTOTECH https://chrislivengood.net/clmototech/. i have some on my '82 cb650sc, basically the same frame and fork, great shocks. I raised the rear about an inch, very happy with how the bike tracks.

When I bought it, the first incarnation in rat bike mode, and now...

I got my bike started, 1982 cb650sc, but its idling at 4200 rpm. I couldn't find anything in the manual, or online related to idle adjustment for CV carbs. Here are the changes made since removing the carbs. complete carb cleaning and rebuild replaced vacuum-assisted petcock with a regular...

I'm working on a cb650, cut off the rear fender brace and remounted flush to the frame. Created a seat pan that follows the bend in the frame to run a brat seat. I don't have any pics accept when I was just starting the mock up (not trimmed to size at this point). I'll add a rear bobbed...

Why not a cowl mounted to the fender brace sort of like this...
