[Nighthawk Lovers] Grab Bar
Is it possible at all to put a grab bar or sissy bar on CB 450 Nighthawk Models (mine is a 1985) without having to manufacture ones? I tried a 1983 grab bar for a 650 and it didn't work (which I am willing to sell for $20 +shipping). I was even thinking of mounting it to the seat somehow, but it would ride weird on the rear fender. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers! group.

I owned an 84' blue 700S also for a couple of years, one of the best bikes ever! For 2 years I tried to find a backrest/sissy bar with no luck so I sold it and bought my current 93 750. Still a great bike. DON SIMPSON 93' 750 NIGHTHAWK West Central IN Date: Wed, 1 Apr 2009 20:29:31 -0700 Subject: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: I bought another Nighthawk!

[Nighthawk Lovers] Looking for speedo and tacho casings for 1997 Nighthawk 750.
Hi everyone, I am new to the group and hoping you can help me finding some parts for my 1997 Honda Nighthawk. Having an American model bike and living in Australia,as you can appreciate information on buying parts is very limited,so I thought I would try this medium for help. I purchased the bike from ebay here in Australia as the original owner had moved here to work and brought the bike with him.He was returning back home and decided to sell his bike. I absolutely love it ,as this model was never offered for sale in Australia. I am looking for speedo and tacho casings (plastic chrome) to replace the originals and would appreciate any help on where I could find some new or good condition secondhand ones.

Join the club. Left hand side covers are relatively inexpensive on ebay. Right hand side covers are few and far between.

I have 2 acres, a 5,000 S.F. shop, and 3 sheds. One shed is devoted to storing some old bikes and parts. Regular Toys R Us. Your taste in cars is impeccable, that's why you can't find what you want. I had '64 Buick Wildcat once but it just needed too much work for me so I sold that one. I always wanted either a '67 or '68 Camaro myself. The 1st muscle car I drove was a '67 Camaro 3 speed 327. I launched it off the end of our street and skidded it sideways in two lanes. Lucky there were no cars coming. I just had no idea! That was so much fun that I decided that I wanted a car like that.

Paddy, Nice to see someone else from the southern half. I spend half my time in Seattle in the US and half in Christchurch in New Zealand. Thus far, I've been the only Nighthawk owner on this list with a foot in the southern hemisphere. I can't help you with the parts issues - wish I could. Ive got a CB700SC 1985 that I shipped last year to Christchurch and I really love having it down there (I'm in Seattle now until November). It gets a lot of looks and comments from folks there. I don't know if you know about it but the creator of this group, Paul, has set up a map so everyone can see where the other Nighthawk owners on the list live.

A BSA. Cool. That was my first MC in about 1965. In those days, I think the British bikes were made of whatever pot metal they could find. I remember, I had to replace my foot shift lever every month of so because it would strip on the shaft splines. Later, when I switched over to Japanese bikes and I had to learn that the shift and rear brakes were on opposite sides, I think there was about week or so when I had a very short life expectancy until I got the new layout into my brain properly.

Yep I remember same thing Dennis On Apr 5, 2009, at 4:48 PM, Dennis wrote: A BSA. Cool. That was my first MC in about 1965. In those days, I think the British bikes were made of whatever pot metal they could find. I remember, I had to replace my foot shift lever every month of so because it would strip on the shaft splines. Later, when I switched over to Japanese bikes and I had to learn that the shift and rear brakes were on opposite sides, I think there was about week or so when I had a very short life expectancy until I got the new layout into my brain properly.

Ive got a CB700SC 1985 that I shipped last year to Christchurch and I really love having it down there (I'm in Seattle now until November). It gets a lot of looks and comments from folks there. I don't know if you know about it but the creator of this group, Paul, has set up a map so everyone can see where the other Nighthawk owners on the list live.

drumhillcycle.com has the gauge set for $325 but the casings alone might be hard to find. Do a used motorcycle parts search and try your luck.

That's a 750F1 and had a 41 exhaust originally. Probably VERY yellow too. Crank up the way-back machine, it has points ignition.

[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Honda CB250 Clutch not Disengaging
The wheel spin in gear with the clutch pulled is the clutch dragging. Needs a proper adjustment. What weight oil is in it ? --- On Sun, 4/5/09, thor mev...@gmail.com wrote: From: thor mev...@gmail.com Subject: [Nighthawk Lovers] Honda CB250 Clutch not Disengaging To: Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers! nighthawk_lovers@googlegroups.com Date: Sunday, April 5, 2009, 6:11 PM I have a '92 CB250, I noticed the other day that it was extremely hard to get into neutral, so i took a look at the clutch cable to see if it was adjusted wrong. In fact the only time I am able to get into neutral is when the motor is off. I checked to see if the clutch was working properly by raising the rear wheel and putting it into first with the clutch in. No go. Tire spins as well with the clutch in as it does out. I took the cable completely off and just pulled the rod up till it stopped with the same result. So it's not the cable. I am not familiar with tranny stuff so please help me out here. I am an aircraft mech, so I like to think I have some mechanical understanding... Any help much appreciated, gracias! -Matt --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers! group.

Sorry Graham, I thought I responded yesterday. I brought the bike to my brother's yesterday and he has a spare for his Magna, which fits the Nighthawk. So I won't need it, but thanks.

[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Just pulled from the shed..
How can I tell? Is it in the VIN code? A 4-in one wouldn't seem to make much sense on this bike considering the placement of the spark plugs and the fact that there is no room for a 4-in-one that I can seehmmI will need to pull up some old stock photos now.
