Over the last few weeks I was looking to buy a cb360 that was for sale locally, but it had way too many problem for me to bother with. So now I'm looking at another bike for the basis of my cafe build.
There are a couple of each cb650 and cb750 for sale for $1000-1500. They're all in good condition, but I have a few questions about them.
Other than displacement, what differences are there? 750's seem to be more popular, does that mean parts are much easier to find? All the bikes I'm looking at have mag (comstar?) wheels, and spoked wheels fit the look I'm going for better. Are there aftermarket wheels readily available for either? Will wheels from other bikes fit?
What are the main problems with each of these bikes? What should I be looking for when I go check them out?
I don't plan on putting a gsxr front end or wheels on. This is going to be a budget build as much as possible. Rebuild the brakes and suspension, new tank and tail/seat, and all the little things like clipons and rearsets.
Thanks for the help and advice, I'll be needing it as much as possible. Everyone I know that rides have Harley's, so they won't be much help.
