[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: bike count
I know I've aske dbefore, but still looking for any NOS parts I can
find for these 700-S bikes
I finally got the new bike ('84 original owner with only 2K original
miles). The bike is NO WHERE near as nice as owner made it out to be,
and not as nice as 1/2 the bikes I already have.
If I'm to keep it, I'll want/need to totally restore it, which means I
need a ton of blue 84 partsI also still need a red '84 tank decal
(I think right side)

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] 1983 Nighthawk 550
Welcome to the group! Windshields are pretty easy, most of the aftermarket ones just clamp onto your handlebars and will fit on any bike. Most here seem to like the Slip Streamer windshields, since a lot of them actually have a square cutout at the bottom for our 80s bikes. Sissy bar might be a bit harder to find if you're looking for OEM. There are plenty of aftermarket ones too with varying levels of fit and finish. -Kyle On Wed, Mar 7, 2012 at 2:45 PM, Army Nighthawk Rider wrote: > I just joined this group.

[Nighthawk Lovers] 1983 Nighthawk 550
I just joined this group. I bought an 83 Nighthawk 550 about 5 years ago. I am only 25, so yes the bike is older than me, but I love riding it. When I bought the bike, she had been sitting in a garage for many years with some carburetor issues. So my dad and I took at it and cleaned her up real good. I was able to get some good riding time on her, but then in 2008 the city I live in was flooded really bad and my nighthawk was stuck in it since I was out of town. So for the last few years I have been spending most of my time during the summer to fix her back up. Well finally last year I was able to get her running, she had some issues and towards the end of summer the starter went out. Well just a few weeks ago, I had the starter rebuilt and now I am hoping to have her running again for this summer. I have always been fascinated with riding. My dad started me out when I was two by just riding around the parking lot and then by the time I was three we were out on the road. I know this may be asking a bit much, but does anybody know where to get some decent accessories for this beauty. I know that she is almost 30 years old, (which in mechanical years is a long time) but I would really love to maybe get a sissy bar, or maybe a windshield. So if anyone can help out that would be great. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.

[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Any recommendations on Wax & Vinyl cleaner/protectant.
I've found Lexol - Leather cleaner - good on both leather and vinyl. But if you want to be picky they (Lexol) have a Vinyl Cleaner/ Conditioner also. Since my Corbin is both leather and vinyl - I just make it easier on myself.

Do you know which bike that seat came off of? The 700 has the clips like you describe, but that bike wasn't out in '83.

[Nighthawk Lovers] Anyone need a seat?
So I bought a seat from a friend for my 83 but it did not fit. The seat I bought has 2 locking clips on the bottom. My 83 had the seat screwed into the frame. So I do not know what NHs have the quick release seat, but it was not for me. I will send pics to anyone interested. Cover is in great shape. Again, this one has the clips on the bottom and not the "L" shaped brackets to screw it into the bike.
