Title: New member here!
Post by: Mulv0034 on September 17, 2026, 12:49:13 PM

Hello there guys and gals. My name is Mitch and I live in Minnesota, US of A. I just this summer took a pile of scrap and turned it into a usable machine haha. Its a 1982 cb650 standard. Its been great fun learning about this bike and truly how amazing honda engines are. I will post in the appropriate area, but my last issue i am having is the bike does not track perfect. At cruising speed it is fine but upon decel it wanders.
Anyway thanks for having me!
Ive attached some before and after pics

Hi Mitch. Welcome along.
Great to see how you've transformed a leaf storage box into a Honda 650, well done 👍

A belated welcome to the UK sohc community, the 650 did not sell well in the UK, a very underestimated bike imho.
Cheers Ted
