I'm a new rider, this is the end of my first season but I have the itch and it's spreading. I want to do a bit of maintenance to my '83 CB650SC and I would love some input from people who have done some customizing to their bikes, upgrades, cafe stuff etc. First question, I was told by a mechanic that the air box has velocity stacks built in and that switching it out for POD filters isn't the best idea. Has anyone done this? I want to get rid of the clunky large air box. Any tips? Are there velocity stacked pods that will do the trick?
My other question is about switching up the instrument panel. I want a new, round headlight and bullet speedo and tac with very basic instrument panel. Is this just electrical know how? Will anything work in replacement for the huge '80s back to the future dashboard? Finally for now, refinishing the tank, what's the best way to go about sanding it down and repainting it? thanks, and I'll post a pic of my bike and keep up with the photo updates -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
