Oil cooler adapted to a 1982 CB650

I found a guy in Oz who machines an adapter plate in between the oil filter cover and the crankcase. We will run lines going in and out of the adapter plate up to an oil cooler from a later model bike like a CB900 or a nighthawk from the mid-80's.

He needed a picture of the area just to machine it perfectly so I posted some here for him.

I'll have to remove the horn I bet, hopefully I can keep my chains that work as my bar stop so that the clubmans don't hit the tank.

The Farmer debuts



Brent DeBoer the Farmer

Raask Rear sets


Here is a close-up of the rear sets I purchased from Omar's Cafe online.  The ones they have for the Honda CB650 are not quite what is shown for the other bikes.  They are a huge clunky piece of melted pot metal.  But every hole is in the right spot and the only thing needed was a longer through bolt that went from one side of the frame through the engine and out the other side.
The rear brake pedal is actually the stock CB650 that I cut and welded then had the local truck bed liner guy dip it for me for 5 bucks- it adds a bit of traction from the oil the bike spurts out all over my legs and boots.

Cheers to the forum guys at SOHC4 that wanted some close-up pics.
