Well I went through all that effort in building my carbs and then that dreaded ebay decided to get involved and send me some bits I may like. So I bought a set of cr29 carbs for £550 which I thought was a compete bargain. Then I went and bought some switch gear. Because I'm fitting these...

Good idea. Thanks Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

I've been really busy at work lately so not really done much to the project. I decided to change my rear shocks,I sent all my info and requirements to haygon and had some custom made. I also had a play on the lathe to make some custom caps for the shocks, I've had them sent away and made in...

Not really done much on the bike been so busy with work just not had the time. But I have finally built carbs. What a pain in the bottom that was. I had most of it working fine except the choke. I checked over and over again and just couldn't work out why it wasn't operating. In the end I...

Haynes Manuel says for my carbs keihin pd50 that the setting is between 0.40 and 0.60 I've set mine to 0.50 but not running bike for a while so cannot comment if it's working correctly. Except seeing it opperate on the bench Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

Sorry to bring up an old post. But I'm just about to tackle this whole process. Building a new harness and just wanted to know if you have any tips that I would find helpful? Many thanks Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

Well that was entertaining. Stripped all down until I go to number 4 float bowl drain screw was seized solid. I soaked it in penetrating fluid. Warmed it. Then the head of the bolt snapped. So had to drill and easy out. Except easy out didn't work. So drilled out to 5mm and still has...

It's not brilliant but cleaner than it was Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

Carb cleaning today. Can't really see my jet size think it's a 92? Was thinking about going up 2 sizes to accommodate my velocity stacks. Can anyone confirm if this is advisable Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

Still need to 2500 grit and polish frame. But couldn't resit seeing the contrast between the black and green Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

I have gone a little OTT (over the top) with the nut and bolt situation. I had a company manufacture me a new swing arm bolt and a rear wheel axle from titanium I also asked him to replace the other engine mount bolts etc etc. So other than the engine bolts I have all titanium nuts and bolts...

Yeah I totally agree. (Also makes it difficult to mount a number plate) which I have no idea what to do with this. I'm not 100% happy with the rear shocks and want some replacements. Any ideas. Eyelets for top and clevis for bottom. Currently 340mm Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

It was just some rattle can stuff I found on Amazon. Hycott gloss black engine paint. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

So not much has really happened lately. Many purchases of titanium bolts and other tools etc. I have painted the engine and currently in process of polishing engine covers. Painted frame at work the other night so just waiting for it to harden so I can polish and start reassembly Oh and...

Sorry pal for late reply. Seemed people wasn't interested so I kind of switched off. Engine is mega heavy but lucky for me the 650 has a removable section. And I used a trolley jack to support the engine. I then made a engine stand. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

Been busy. However the new shocks I have bought see not long enough. So looking to buy 360mm instead of the current 335mm Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

Where to start? My name Lewis I'm from Kent England. Back in June I stumbled across a 1980 cb650 custom a few streets away from my house. I had always wanted to customise a bike into something like a scrambler,brat,cafe racer type so bought it for £1500. (This was a massive impulse purchase...

This is amazing. I'm currently in the process of converting a cb650 custom. Would love to see an update on this. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
