    '82 cb650. Best purpose for this motor?

    Thanks for the advice, sir. I'm assuming that whatever I go with, I'll just have to keep testing and checking to see what combination works best. I'm getting carb rebuild kits, and am not going to go with the Murrays for this build. This is going to be a budget build for now... ...at least...

    '82 cb650. Best purpose for this motor?

    I've read that with a 750, anything but the stock airbox is a no-no, but with the 650, can I run velocity stacks? Or if I go with a better filter, what brand would you recommend?

    '82 cb650. Best purpose for this motor?

    I'm not really going for low-end grunt. I have a harley softail for the useless sound and bark, haha. I just meant that I wanted to make sure that it wouldn't be a dog as far as acceleration, having never ridden a 650. My first bike was an r6, and after having the Harley, I miss being able to...

    I guess I'm thinking of low-end get up and go around the twisties. I love the look of the motor, and I agree - the 650 frame is ugly, but nothing a little mig welding can't fix, right? ;D

    It's a standard, and I have spokes instead of ComStars - which I prefer.

    '82 cb650. Best purpose for this motor?

    Well, I am in the process of acquiring a cb450, but my first build will be a cb650 that I picked up for free from my friend's dad, who wants to see it put to good use. I know that the 650 is kind of the bastard child of the cb line, but I'm going to make this one my winter project. It needs a...

    cb650 carbs won't budge. Help, please.

    I literally can't take the carbs off of my cb650. All of the clamps are undone, the throttle cables are out of their clips, and the airbox is disconnected. They just will not budge, as the bike has been sitting for about 15 years. Do i use a hairdryer? heat gun? I would rather try to salvage the...

    I suppose this means vintage bikes will start doubling in price?

    Oh geez. Our passion has become their fad. Well, for some extra cash, I'll just put an ad on facebook, "Attention Hipsters. When something goes wrong with your motorcycle, call me and I'll fix it - because I know full well you have no idea what to do."

    Hey, guys. New to DTT. I just picked up an 82 cb650 for free and am going to start tearing it apart for a cafe' build. This is my second bike, as my DD and normal bike is a 2000 harley softail. I'm really excited to start working on the CB, and this site has given me a lot of inspiration and...
