According to the page there is 24 CB650SC on the road and 90 SORN. Not many for sale. Last time I have checked on the famous auction page, on trader and on G-tree I have found 2 in UK.

New parts ordered from http://www.cmsnl.com/. 27 euro for springs,caps and rollers I think a very good price. 13 euro for postage for them little bits quite painful but at least it's coming from Netherlands and not the US so shouldn't be too long, I hope. On hold until then ;)

Thanks for the replies, Tom I will have a look there in a second.
Bryan I have checked the parts numbers, I am trying to avoid getting them in US, UK or EU would be much faster. She is a US model, I think the same bike was offered here but under different name

Hi all, so I went on today to get my starter clutch fixed. After getting it out it turned out that the kit that I bought does not fit, the rollers and all are way bigger than does in the starter clutch :(
So now I have to return it to the seller ( didn't even have to take it out of the package ) and buy another one.
Question here, will one from a CB750 fit or will it not ? I have looked a David Silver and he only sells separate springs and caps but no rollers. The kit in question is this here :

Please help  :-\

Hi Royhall, etch primer - added to shoping list :) First that, then black finish. Thanks for the advice. All the major parts will be either painted o powder coated by profesionals. I'm just painting the tiny and not visible bits ;) Still, want to get them right so thanks again ๐Ÿ‘

Afternoon All, new carb boots and repair kit for the infamous starter clutch ordered. Can't wait for them to arrive. ::)
In the meantime I got some work going on the seat brackets / mounts. They were all rusted so got them stripped to bare metal and covered with Zinc spray. Maybe tomorrow I will get my hands on some black paint and get them finished.

Old and new seat. Now as I understand some may say that it's a funny way to start with the seat let me explain. My dad back in Poland is working in a company that is rebuilding seat for lorries and they do new upholstery for cars and bikes, so it didn't cost me anything to get it done ;)

Hi there, so after introducing myself I think it might be time to start a post in here to keep You all up to date on the progress ( if any ) on the restoration of my little " Hania "
I bought the bike back in July '15 from a Polish lad here in NI that wanted to send it to Poland and get it rebuild but the decided not to.
She was starting when I got it ( with a push ) but didn't work in idle. I had the top of the engine removed, checked the bores, pistons, rings and so on. Got it back together with new seals, new valve stem seals, o rings... Put in new spark plugs, new wires and caps. I had the carbs out and cleaned them, got them back in but with no new parts there. New battery and she starts and runs, still not what You would expect but. As the carb boots are old and cracked I think she might be catching some air on the side there, so have to get them ordered and replace as well.

Basically the plan is to get her rebuild to standard spec, but the work will be progressing slowly as there are time and funds limitations :)
I'm a hands on man, love bikes and into mechanics so as far as possible I get it all done myself with the exception of the obvious ie. powder coating and chromes.

All help and advice always welcome, also if You have any questions - shoot :)
