1. Anyone on here I could send the carbs to and have them gone through?
2. Cheapest place to get tires/tubes online and is it worth trying to do myself with the wire spoke wheels?
3. Recommendations for an inexpensive windshield.
Any input is appreciated. Thanks!

jarlef z650 .
I disassembled, cleaned, & rebuilt my own carbs. It seemed fairly straight forward to me.
Doing your own tires is hard. I have the same bike & could not do the Rear - the old tire was hard as rock & the rim stoppers are a bear to deal with... you don't want to pinch the tube.
The Front tire is doable, but it's still hard.
I got Bridgestone Battlax BT45 tires from MotorcycleSuperstores.
Does your bike have the stock handlebars? If so, you might want to consider replacing them, especially before getting a windshield --- the fitment for the stock bars may not work with different handlebars. don't ask how I know. :blush:

2. C.R. Tire in Marion Iowa www.cedarrapidstire.com/home.php
3. Maybe J and P cycle in Anamosa Iowa? www.jpcycles.com/pages/worldheadquarters
I know your local dealer (Sindt) could do the work also, but with any dealer your going to pay.

Martin, thanks for posting that link. I just found out the bike is actually an 82 not an 81. Now I just need to find a manual for an 82.
KD hart, I'll check out cr tire, thanks!
I took some more pics this past wknd, I'll try and get them posted soon.
