Honda CB description

For Sale 1979 Honda CB650 Cafe Racer / Brat Project Bike 95% Complete

Motor was gone thru by Pinwall Cycles in Canton, OH
Brand NEW Keihen Racing Carbs installed by Maximum Performance and Handling in Cuyahoga Falls, OH
Many new parts from Dime City Cycles
Electric wiring done by Madmoto Co. in Euclid, OH

Complete custom build by current owner down to bare frame, de-tabbed, rear seat frame removed and seat hoop added, frame painted frame matte black. Air box removed and original carbs replaced with Custom Keihen Racing Carbs with Pod Filters (could be swapped out for velocity stacks). Original exhaust painted matte black hi-heat paint with Titanium header wrap. Original tank sanded and painted with custom paint job (still has a few original dents in not fixed prior to paint including one large dent on the right side pictured). One small chip in the paint on the left side of the tank as seen in pictures from handle bars hitting the tank prior to adjustments. New brake and clutch controls, new throttle control and throttle body, rebuilt front and rear brakes with new pads in both. Brand NEW custom seat from Tuffside. New Ballistic battery with charger. All new wiring, new gages from Dime City Cycles speedo and RPM only. Only has basic wiring for motor, headlight (w/ hi/lo), rear LED brake light new with integrated LED turns rear only (no front turns). New ignition relocated to near right knee and choke is on the carbs now near left knee instead of on handlebars. Well over $7k in part and labor into the bike not including any of my time with the fabrication and assembly work. Title shows 31,425 miles (I put about 500 on it before starting the rebuild and rebuild included the new gages which cleared the mileage - I bought it in July of 2014 road half the summer and started the rebuild that Fall/Winter)

95% complete because the motor has a small leak around 1 bolt (can be fixed by removing bolt and putting a bead of Gasket Maker around it and reinstalling it - I did this on the top of the motor and it fixed the leak there I just didn't catch this bolt when I did it). This leak is clearly shown in the pictures. Also needs jetted and dyno tuned now that the electric is fixed. I took it to Maximum Performance and Handling to have this done but when I got it there the carbs hydrolocked and prevented us from firing it and we drained the battery trying. I filled the gas tank and bled the air/fuel mixture screws and got the hydrolock to go away. Bike starts and can be ridden just needs a little throttle to start and wants to stall when you stop unless you keep a little throttle on it which is an idle adjustment. Also backfires a bit which can be fixed with he jetting and dyno tune. 

I am selling now rather than finishing the project out because I won't be able to ride it. I have 3 herniated discs in my neck and won't be getting back onto a bike so I am looking to sell this project and put the money into a car project instead. 

Title is in hand and bike is located at my shop in Stow, OH about 5 minutes from my house. I am available to show anytime.

Mon, 02 Jun 2014

Gary Johnson narrowly beat out Bruce Anstey to take the first of two Supersport races at the 2014 Isle of Man TT. Riding the Daytona 675, Johnson’s win was the first for Triumph since 2003, ironically, with Anstey taking the victory that year in the Junior 600cc class. The race started three hours behind schedule due to fog, but once it began it quickly became a duel between Johnson and Anstey.
