Tudor9, I don't recall what size they were. If you want to go with pods check the diameter of your intake and get the appropriate size pods. I had to use some radiator hose to put #1 and #4 at an angle to clear the frame...but they are all in the trash now! I put pods on my bike because I...

Everyone looking to make purchases for winter projects...Please consider GRIM CYCLE SALVAGE (http://grimcyclesalvage.com/). Grim Cycle is a ma and pop shop that does it right. The owners (Sean and Cat) are completely solid and will help you find what you need. They have over 400 bikes to pick...

Exhaust: I am looking for some advice on modifying my stock exhaust. I am building a CB650SC and would really like to shorten up the exhaust to bring it closer to the center of the bike. Can I just chop the pipes and replace the baffles? How will it effect my tuning/performance? I am not so...

What did you use as your sacrificial for the inside tank electrolysis? I did the outside of my tank but haven't done the inside yet.

I that the standard '82 CB650 or is it a CB650C or CB650SC? I have an '82 CB650SC and my experience has been that parts can be difficult to find unless you have a local salvage yard to pick from. The CB650SC was unique in '81, '82 after that some changes were made. Most of the differences...

Fox, Thanks...Unfortunately I have learned by making many mistakes. The photo is what the bike looked like Sept-Dec. Its now spread throughout my garage (hope fully I dont end up with any extra bolts). The seat pictured I purchased on ebay (look up cafe racer seats), they provided the foam...

Hi all, Fairly new to DTT...But digging the amount if information and tips. I haven't yet found any threads that discuss Honda 4's or more specifically CB650's. Okay, so they are the bastard child of the CB's, but they can be found cheap and can easily be made into very cool custom bikes...

Thanks Jewbacca... Sound advice...I have gone though the exercise that you detail at least 3 times trying to get the motor to perform to its potential. I realize it wont be a crotch rocket but I do expect it to run consistently through all gears. I have been told that just changing jets, air...

Hello DTT, last year I decided that I wanted to try my hand at a garage built motorcycle. My thought process was to make my mistakes on something relatively inexpensive and move up to some kind of hot rod. At the time I didn't realize that cafe racers were so popular i just know I liked the...
