1980 cb650z cafe

[peterrk]

Hei alle sammen

First, you must excuse my bad English. I'm from Norway.

Have just bought myself a cb650z which I will build into a cafe racer. Just fitted clip on's and will soon build me a seat, possibly in aluminum.

Looking for some parts on the internet and was wondering if someone could help me with what some parts are called in English. The part that you turn on and off the light on the right side of the handlebars.

Thanks for the link.

have created a template for the seat out of welding wire and ductape.
Buying aluminum after Easter and try make a seat. Never done it befor so it will be interesting

Will also see if I can move the battery behind the saddle and ditch the original airfilter box.

Also had to ordre both trottle wires and I`m thinking of ordering the acewell speedo.

Just some electrical work and some paint left.

Looking for a round tail light, anyone know where to get one?

I also need air filter any idee what to get?

WOW! That bike looks sharp. Those wheels look the tits man! Very nice. I have been thinkin about painting my bike a yellow color when its all said and done. Mainly because I have never owned one and yellow is just about the only color we dont have in the stable right now. I think you have persuaded me to go with the yellow indefinitely. Whatever happened to the aluminum seat idea?

 

[peterrk]

cheaper and easier to buy one in fibreglas 8) Whant to get the bike done by june. The season up her is from may to august.

 

[Narb1989]

ahhhh alright that would explain that then. I have an idea for making mine out of aluminum but I will most likely end up with fiberglass for similar reasons. Keep it up man, im interested to see the final product.

 

[peterrk]

Almost done!
Still need new paint, new filters and a seat.

Need to lower the frontlight or get a new one.

The frontline doesnt seem to be sitting up that high. Once you put weight on the bars it should come down a bit, no? Perhaps your headlight is mounted too high giving you the illusion that the entire front end is high. Just my 2p. I may be wrong. Oh btw, I cant get over those wheels.. so sweet!

 

[peterrk]

The front light is in its stock location. Its a little to high for my taste.

 

[Erskine]

Your seat looks spot on!

Flip the mounting brackets for the headlight?
