1981 CB650 Custom motorcycle for sale - Pittsburgh, PA

by

This bike is reposted, as it has been tuned up a bit and now runs well! Check out the details below. Asking $950 (KBB lists as $1200)

I have for sale a 1981 Honda CB650 Custom. I picked it up last summer as a winter project, and have gotten it running and ready to tune and ride. Despite the time I have invested in it.. I don't like riding it. Just not my cup of tea. So, I'm selling it to fund a recent purchase of a new(er) bike.

It starts, runs, cruises nice. Has a little vibration above 6K, but that might be normal for these, Im not sure. Just took her out around and it had no problem cruising at 55 along some nice country road. It has a clean title and can transfer easily. Bring your plate and we can ride it there, and you can ride her home.


So far I have


-Rebuilt the starter clutch (these things will go bad after 10 years or so)


-fixed some stripped out rocker body bolts
-Put on new plugs and wires
-checked out all electrical connections
-re-hosed the carb and fuel system
-replaced the hard to find vent "T"s
-wrapped and sealed the down pipes


-replaced the glass in the speedometer
-replaced valve gaskets and oil pan gaskets
-flushed the brakes
-replaced the fork seals
-installed new clutch cable
-all new filters and fluids
-new battery
-synched carbs


Bike is decent condition. Paint is rough, it is an iridescent (chameleon) purple / green, and has seen to much banging around a garage at some point. A good fine wet sand might do it a world of good and last a year or so. Has a king & queen seat, don't know if that was stock, but its comfortable. It has engine guards, with highway pegs. Just under 16K on the odo, and I have only put 50 on for testing. Tires should get another season, brakes stop good. Should pass inspection, but you may want to replace the mirrors, they work, but don't match.


I also have a clymer book,spare plugs, most of a gasket set (what isn't there is new on the bike) and a spare working starter motor.


This thing would be great for a daily rider, just doesnt fit my odd proportions right (and I cant get used to the whole cruiser feel).

Bike is in Finleyville, outside of South Park, and can be seen in the evening. It has always been covered while in my care, and is currently on a covered porch with a bike cover over it on a maintenance charger. Email me and we can set something up.
Thanks for looking!
Bryan
