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.

Rossi Wins at Assen, but Lorenzo Is the Hero; Alpinestars Releases Crash Data

Mon, 01 Jul 2013

There’s only one thing left to say about Jorge Lorenzo’s 124 mph crash during a rainy practice session last Thursday while warming up for the TT Assen: It could have been a lot worse. The images are horrific, but thanks to groundbreaking protective gear, Lorenzo walked away with only a collarbone fracture and a heck of a tale to tell. Today, Alpinestars released a trace graph analysis of Lorenzo’s spill, thanks to data collected from his TechAir airbag suit.

Honda VFR1200 blog: Dearly Beloved

Wed, 25 Nov 2009

FOR WHAT we are about to receive... We all know motorcycling's a religion, which may be why Honda chose a defunct church to launch the 2010 VFR1200F - the bike the company reckon will take the sports-touring market by storm. Rain-soaked Spain is the venue for the European launch of the all-new Honda VFR1200F.
