Congrats dude. Well deserved botm, excellent craftsmanship!

Yup i did. Not sure why some photos are sideways, but if you click on them they open in their proper orientation.

Decided to take a few close up photos of the paint and such. For anyone wondering the bike is based in UPS brown, and has gold pearl sprayed over black on the sides of the tank and some of the engine covers as well as hand spun copper leafing. Engine and wheels are sprayed in tamco epoxy primer...

Thanks man! Thanks. I kept the factory rear fender, filled all the holes and recessed it so it tucks into the frame hoop a bit

Thanks man, yeah I agree the knobby tires just didn't feel or look right to me on this bike. It may get a fender in the future if I can find something half decent, but I'm thinking of swapping the forks out in favor of something updated with better brakes so I might wait until then to address that.

Re: DO THE TON / DIME CITY CYCLES BIKE OF THE MONTH - NOVEMBER 2017 NOMINATIONS Thanks folks, I'll happily accept the nomination. As far as the history of the bike goes it's a 1979 cb650 I picked up for $300 in non running condition a few years back, not knowing anything about cb650's (this is...

Thanks man, I've been doing custom paint for roughly 5 years now. This was just a quick job as i have a lot on the go for other folks but I'm happy with the outcome.

Thanks man!

Re: 1979 CB650 Brat. Here's version 2.0. This winter after testing compression and getting 60psi on 2 cylinders I decided to rebuild the engine and make some other improvements, it got: Dynoman 10.5:1 cr 674 big bore kit, mike rieck stage 2 ported head with 550 valvetrain/kibblewhite springs...

Re: 1979 CB650 Brat. It's a MAC 4-1 that came on the bike when I bought it, and I altered it slightly.

Re: 1979 CB650 Brat. Thank you, I did all the paint and metal work myself, except bending the rear hoop as I don't have a tubing bender (or place to put one) yet

Looks great

Re: 1979 CB650 Brat. So far I haven't had to dig into the engine, luckily as it sat for 14 years. But between dime city, siriusconinc and my local Honda dealership (Valve seals and misc engine seals have been surprisingly cheap there) is where I've gotten everything. If I end up tearing the...

Re: 1979 CB650 Brat. Thanks man! It is a generic eBay seat. This winter I will probably stuff a gel pad in there and add a small amount of padding as well as get it re-upholstered with higher quality materials but for now it's better than a plank of wood. I had the carbs ultrasonic cleaned...

Here's my latest build -'79 CB650 (tank is off an '81) Bought two years ago not running, ended up just being a matter of cleaning the carbs out properly and fired right up. After that I Stripped the bike and altered the frame a bit to accept the new tank and eBay seat, made sure I could tuck...
