I got a CB 900 4-1 exhaust header for free...and was going to modify it to fit my CB 650. I cut it into 5 pieces today (took all of 10 minutes on the bandsaw)...separating the 4 downpipes and the collector. I have the smaller flanges from an old set of CB 650 pipes and was going to weld those...

Just take it somewhere and have it blasted. Save yourself the aggravation of using stripper, water and sandpaper.

Ok it was my understanding that torque cones help create back pressure in open pipes....like for guys that add drag pipes. When installed inside the head pipes these cones act to repel the pulse waves as they return to the engine and alter velocity as the gas passes through the narrower...

Anyone have any experience with these on a cb 550/750 exhaust? I'm building my own 4-1 that is currently open. Or is it better to build a baffle? I'm going to be running pod filters as well. Thanks....

Black is hands down the hardest color to paint and perfect. It just shows every little imperfection and bodywork magnified. Now, if you do an accent color, striping, etc with some different metallic color it really makes the black pop and helps with the whole "perfection" thing.

Re: 1980 Honda CB750 Cafe Racer....preject King Midas Gotta love the black and gold theme ;)

Lots of brake cleaner, elbow grease and compressed air to clean. Shot with 2k primer then VHT aluminum...I'm replacing all the engine hardware with stainless fasteners.

Hey guys in Columbus...shop is downtown! Can wrench, weld and paint. Here's my cb 650 build.....

Throwing this thing together....

Depends on your budget. Even though I'm a painter I would still prefer to send my frame out for pc. If you are limited to using rattle cans (no compressor or spray gun) get a good 2k urethane clear. I think spraymax is the brand I've seen at napa. Also use an etching primer on that bare...

Tons of CB 750/650/550 rims on ebay. All have 20mm axle and will fit...may have to modify spacer slightly...

With how affordable the K70's are you could probably find a used cb 18" rear wheel, buy the tires and still save $$$ compared to buying some other "vintage" tires....

I like the Dunlop k70 series. Really affordable as well....

Hey guys... Looking for a cb 4-1....preferably for a cb 650....but I'm sure I could make other models fit. Thanks!!

Just get some 3m vinyl tape and tape them off & spray. That shape is simple and you can clear over them.

Degrease with brake cleaner....aircraft stripper if necessary. Wax and grease remover. Lots of air. You can prime with 2k urethane primer before VHT. Cb 650 I just finished

Hey just saw this.... Do you still have this?????

Thanks! Shocks were purchased on Ebay....I think they were around $110...nothing name brand but they are the length that I needed. Had to go with 2" longer than stock due to the extended swingarm.

Hey guys - I'm new here and wanted to show a bike I've been working on for a few months....1979 CB 650. I bought this bike and a 76 CB 750 as a package deal from a guy in Southern Ohio. Both were in good running condition and had clean titles. This is not my first bike build, but first...
