Hi Bitsa,
I bought the cb650z as a complete wreck and it cost £4,300.00 to restore, it was a love hate relationship as it was really nice to look at but wasn't very nice to ride, not a lot of power and brake weren't very good, but then that was the seventies/eighties. I also had a VF750FD at the same time so, reluctantly the CB had to go. Sold for £2.700 and then I sold all the spares I had for £900 so just about broke even. It took 18 months to do.

Hi  Green1,
It looks like RS paint sent me the wrong base paint then, they sent me Silver Base not Metallic Silver Base, no wonder I could not get it quite right.

cheers
john

Fisjon,
All the years I worked on them never rode one so I will accept what you say but still looks nice.The worst thing I can remember is my bonehead bruv who had a cbx thou which I rebuilt in my cellar only for him to sell it.Was not happy with him if I knew I would have bought it.
Cheers
Bitsa

Billy where did you get the rear shocks from?

Hi Ant
i got them on ebay 190448102397

they are for a CB 900 1/2 inch longer than for the 750. I was advised by a decent bike builder that these perform better than originals.
