Welcome Dave.

You can insert an image by using the little pictureframe icon above, or upload a picture to the site using the "Additional Options" at the bottom of the post.

I've added full instructions to the "Newbies Start Here" thread.

Thanks Mick, well today we had a go at starrting the bike, its not been going for over 2 years so put new fuel in and drained old (brown) fuel off, After messing about with the carbs plugs etc we managed to get it/her going. needs a new battery though but what a result. I'm not at all mechanical minded but have lots of will power so between me and (also) Dave looking forward to doing a proper job on this bike.

Thanks again Dave.

Hi Dave, we've chatted (online) already about some of my spares, but only just noticed you're intro here.

Take alook at http://uk.geocities.com/cb650@btinternet.com/ for the full story so far of my rebuild (which is basically a standard bike but cosmetically different)

I've got about 500 pics of the stripdown and rebuild (to date) - I'll stick them on a CD and put them in the parcel with the rack etc, if you want.

regards, Phil

I'll send it separately, as I've bundled up the other bits and didn't fancy sticking the CD to the outside of the parcel. On it's way to you soon,

Davbe, I still haven't sorted out that mudguard yet, but just noticed this...

It's not a 650Z one, so you might need to redrill the mounting hole positions, but looks pretty clean at a glance.
