OK, so I'm fairly new at all this, but I've been lurking around for a while.
My querry is this:
The CB650. Good, Bad, Ugly? I've read that it had attrocious electrical problems, mostly relating to the charging system malfunctioning in the stator area. Anyone know a fix, such as swapping for a different component or modding the existing?
Also, I've read that this bike is very similar to the CB500/550. If this is the case, would that mean some of the Café accesories that fit the 5's fit the 650? If not, then it would just mean modding or fabricating stuff but that can get pricey, and I'm just a poor college student looking for a cheap bike to café.
The reason I'm asking is because someone in my area is selling one for 800$ and that's pretty much right in my price range
Any other info or tips about the 650 would be much appreciated, as I'm quite the noob.
Thanks a lot,
Trevor
