The CB650 custom was a motorcycle made by Honda between 1980 and 1981, ending as the CB650 LC "Luxury Custom" in 1982.

The styling features that separated the custom from the standard CB650 are:

  • Highlighted, black Honda ComStar wheels
  • 4-4 exhaust pipes
  • Pull-back "wheelbarrow" handle bars
  • Extended front air-forks
  • Vibration-resistant mirrors
  • Custom side-emblems
  • Chrome covered rear-shocks

The CB650LC was a Japan-only variant released in 1982 with slightly lower overall height and ground clearance, with hydraulic double disc front brakes and modified rear fairing[2][3][better source needed].
