Hi all, I just bought another NH 700 - a blue 1984, great engine but is a little shabby with a few missing parts. Does anyone have the battery holder for the 700S? My last 700S was missing the same thing. Can't find any on e-Bay. I also need the front rubber turn signal holders. In fact all turn signals need replacing. I'm missing one of the small chrome round swing arm covers. I'd like to hear of any good parts anyone has for this bike. On the other hand, I have a 1983 650 Nighthawk parts bike. I wanted the exhausts, someone else is taking the motor, the rest is mostly in boxes, anyone need parts? Graham
