Thanks for checking, the NH sold two days after posting (Wingrack went with

[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Saddleabag hangers.

[ewun]

Zip-ties through available D-rings, handles, straps and loops are very 
flexible, cheap and strong enough (to avoid flapping), works wonders.  I've 
used them also to secure two bags - one on each side under the rear fender 
high enough as to well clear the tire.

[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Nighthawk Seat Height

[ewun]

I have a Corbin on my 2002 NH750 and it solved my problem.  I'm 5'7", 
shorter legs, etc.  I can't flat-foot both feet at a stop but can clearly 
get both feet down on more than just toes or one foot down flat-footed with 
just a little bit of lean.  The Corbin does sit lower but the front-tip is 
also thinner (less-wide), which helps.  I would not suggest lowering as 
that affects all kinds of things like geometry, and simple-stuff like your 
side-stand.  Oh, also - get boots with at least 1" soles/heels - and maybe 
even more, that helps.

[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Corbin seat

[ewun]

Not sure what you're running - but, I've got a 2002 NH750 with a Corbin 
seat and the Honda OEM backrest DOES fit with the Corbin seat.  I've since 
taken it off, but while it's a snug fit - with the backrest bolted on, I 
can (just barely) take the seat on  off when necessary, without unbolting 
the backrest.

 I had my River Road tail bag attached to the sissy bar. It contains my 
 gloves, registration, some tools, etc. Now what am I going to do. I'm sure 
 that I can strap it to my back seat but I don't want to do that. Any 
 suggestions or what have others done with Corbin seats? I'm not thrilled at 
 having to buy a Corbin back rest.

[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Hard Bags for '96 Nighthawk

[ewun]

Sorry I wasn't more specific.  Yes - you do need a specific NH750 mounting 
kit and they're no longer in production.  That said, I did find one from 
(New Old Stock) from a supplier in Australia (online) - where their version 
of the NH750 (called CB-SevenFifty I believe it was called) was a bolt-on.

You might want to look at this - I just got a notification in my in-box 
from Revzilla.  I've had it for a couple of years on my 2002-NH750 and I 
like it.  While is definitely supports a Givi mount, I'm sure you can adapt 
to Pelican or others.  Looks sharp, OEM'ish.

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Front Brake Line Kit - 2002 NH750

[ewun]

One More Question - Hopefully the last -

-  The Russell SS Brake Line is on (fits well), and a brand new fill of 
DOT4.  Very nice lever feel after bleeding well.

-  Have not swapped on the EBC HH pads yet as I can't get the *Pin Pad Plug* 
off 
at the caliper, to get to the *Pin Pad Bolt*.  Looks like a 
straight-slotted screw, tried once but I don't want to strip it.  Any 
ideas?  It is a slotted screw-plug isn't it?  (NH manual shows it with 
threads but does't describe it)  Should I maybe try an impact wrench? 
 WD-40?  (Hesitant to use WD-40 so close to the brakes)

I feel like such a rookie, thanks for your help.

[Nighthawk Lovers] Front Brake Line Kit - 2002 NH750

[ewun]

Does anyone have experience on this.  I'm wanting to upgrade my 2002 NH750 
front brake line to stainless-steel and found this Russell Kit:
  https://www.denniskirk.com/russell/brake-line-kits.p196285.prd/196285.sku
The Russell specs say fitment is 1991-1998 NH750 (only).  The models 
through the 90's and into early 2003 were very similar - has someone had 
experience with the front brake line similarity to know if this Russell Kit 
would fit my bike?

Thanks.

Surf -

Thanks, great idea - being more precise.  What I found is - there are two 
different part numbers, and the part number changed over from 1998-to-1999.

From (1998) - 45126-MW3-671, To (1999-2002) - 45126-MW3C71; and part price 
went from $44.44 to $41.57 (so definitely a different part).

I'm not sure now, whether it will fit or notinstinct is that it SHOULD.

 A way to be sure:
  
 Go to any parts supplier that offers microfiche lookup of parts (like

 look up same for your model year.  If part numbers are the same, it's a 
 match.

I run Progressive 412's on my 2002 NH750 and appreciate the difference from

 I have enough to make five kits for the 650 carbs. I'm keeping one,

 I'll also have extra screws of various sizes, so if you just need

[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: tire options for 1991 CB750

[ewun]

I have Bridgestone Battlax BT-45 front  rear on my 2002 NH750 and think 
they're a good balance between handling and wear.  I'd buy them again - 
when it's time.

[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Corbin seat

[ewun]

Bummer you don't live out here in the San Francisco Bay Area.  There's a 
'Meet Up' group of about 50 bikes going to the Corbin Factory Saturday 
(2/2/13) to do a factory tour and get custom-fitted seats made - 
while-u-wait.  Not going since I have one already.

[ewun]

If you do get one - please post your reviews.  I'm lusting after one also - 
but it's difficult to justify as I'm not going to sell my 2002 750NH and in 
terms of usability - they're closeeven though they're very different 
bikes.  That said, that's the only bike I'd spend money on at this point.

[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Any 750 owners using a disc lock?

I use the Kryptonite Series 4 lock and it works fine on my stock 2002
750NH (front disk brake rotor).  But, then I live in a metropolitan
area and people touch anything that doesn't even 'look' secure.

[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Corbin Seat

[ewun]

I really enjoy the Corbin - versus the stock seat, for a couple of
reasons:
-  The 'Gunfighter  Lady' style has enough room for me to shift in
the seat and enough of a backstop that I can leverage/rest on.
-  Takes about 500-1,000 miles to break-in, but once done - my longest
trip +/- 300 miles was not a problem

I did the same as Graham, and you can adjust it (with varying

  Here you can see the latch hitting the front of the hook on the bottom of 
  the seat.  I can unbolt the latch but it doesn't have any adjustment to 
  move it up or anything.  Similarly the hook is straight and bolted tight to 
  the bottom of the seat so nowhere I can adjust it.

  Here you can see that the rubber between the hooks is making contact all 
  the way across the seat so I don't see how the seat could get any farther 
  down, although there is a big gap under the rubber foot that is farther 
  back from the hooks, and the gap on the left foot is much bigger than the 
  gap on the right foot (right foot not pictured here).

[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Shoei Windshield Pictures Stuff - Second Set of Pictures

[ewun]

I have a 15 mile freeway commute into San Francisco and usually ride
in 1-2 days/week.

Wind is certainly off my chest, now hits me at about nose level (but
I'm short also at 5'7), which is fine as I ride with a full-face
helmet.  Really nice that my hands are really not cold anymore (was so
before even with lite-insulated gloves), because of the early-morning
SF fog.  The fairing is not that big as affecting the 'drafting side-
to-side' much, but there is some.  I just enjoy the freeway riding
more - it wasn't that I disliked it before - just felt a little 'beat-
up' after a 45 minute ride, hope that makes sense.

As I said before - for the 750NH is was pretty-much a bolt-on, jiggle
and adjust installation, maybe an hour - but I'm pretty anal about
stuff.  If you have a black bike - it looks factory standard (except
for the Shoei logo).  It's well braced onto the headlight ear-flaps
and handle-bars and very stable.  Had to tighten one bolt after about
4-5 rides, and went through them all at that time.  No looseness
since.  Well engineered.  Note: because it is NOS - it's made of
fiberglass and you can see that material looking inside-out...pretty
70's if you ask me.

[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Shoei Windshield Pictures Stuff - Second Set of Pictures

[ewun]

A set of after-market LED's adjacent to each side of the license
plate.  Look closely at the pic of the rear of the bike - there are 12
LEDs on each side of the license plate frame (they look like nubs):

http://www.lights.skenedesign.com/P3_Features.shtml

It's an easy install, they provide all parts including connectors
(according to your bike), but it's not cheap.  In my research -
California has this ordinance that specifies Blinking Rear Brake/Tail
lights have to have a decreasing interval of flashes within some
number of seconds, blah, blah - and they conform to that.  My feeling
is that properly installed, they do increase my visibility to others
as driving lights and also as flashing brake lights.  Checkout the
website noted above.

Yes, into clean installs - if you look closely at the picture of the
gauges/handlebar you'll also see an analog clock/watch mounted on the
center of my handlebars - also looks stock too (just above the center
nut of the triple-tree)!

[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: pegs/windshield

[ewun]

If you're still looking for recommendations - I looked at quite a few,
including the Rifle (NightFlight) which was my second choice, but
finally settled on a NOS 'Old-School' Shoei F2.  There's a company on
eBay that has an inventory of Shoei NOS Farings that are 20 years old,
and even made of fiberglass.  I have a 2002 NH750 and it bolts right
up and looks perfect with no mods - looks like it was made for the
bike black-on-black.  Here's a link:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Shoei-FM-2-Black-Fairing-Windshield-Kit-0152-/180745804403?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessoriesvxp=mtrhash=item2a154a1a73#ht_3005wt_828

It's a 'tweener' that's not as sporty as a bullet - but keeps the wind
off your chest and also protects the hands.  You have to like the old-
school look, but I figure you might as you have a NH!  If you're
interested I can snap a couple of pics.

[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: 1992 Nighthawk Seat for long rides

[ewun]

I have a Corbin on my 2002 750NH and would buy it again.  The shape is
perfect and it does get softer (broken-in) after 600 miles or so.  I
also appreciated the 1/2-1 reduction in seat-height (I'm 5'7).  I
got lucky and found it new/unused on eBay for $150.

 I have one I bought used from ebay for $200, and it's true -- it is

 But it's shaped perfectly to my butt and the seating position is
 ideal, so I live with the hardness.

 With the stock, I found myself sliding toward the tank regularly,
 crowding the family jewels, so this is a compromise I can live with.

 I'll probaby modifiy it with a gel pad at some point.

[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: NGK Spark Plugs - OEM/Standard vs. Iridium

Graham -

I love my NH - it's the perfect bike for me.  I'm not a 'boy-racer'
nor a laid-back cruiser, so the 750 is fast enough and can keep-up
with the traffic on California's crazy freeways.  It's good-enough at
everything I need, and generally won't get me into trouble either.

[Nighthawk Lovers] Washer Mod + Uni Filter on 2002 750NH

[ewun]

I did them both yesterday - the Carb Washer Mod and Uni (oiled)
Filter.  Like Allen said, doesn't make the 750NH into a sport bike,
but definitely notice that it's breathing better and lot more
responsive on the freeway this morning.  So glad it did it.

Something to note:  Because I'm in California I believe there's
additional smog emissions equipment that has to be dealt with when
removing the tank and accessing the carb tops.  Not sure about others,
but I had to un-do and move away for access - the smog (canister or
something), and the throttle cable and returns are also screwed-down
to one set of #3 carb top screws (and those two screws are longer than
all others).  There's also a tank breather-tube (on tank, not petcock)
that I had to remove in order to move the tank at all.  Probably took
me an additional 45 minutes - mostly because I was taking my time and
keeping track of what I did, so I can undo it easier.

Thanks to surfswab (Ron) for the push, Allen for the extra tips, and
Javier for his encouragement.  I would do it all again - the
difference is noticeable to me.

[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: 1986 Nighthawk S for sale (CB 700SC)

Greg -

Looks good and I'd agree that listing for $1500 - $1800 sounds about
right.  You really have to post pics when you list a bike on
CraigsList.  As a point of reference - I got a really-good deal, on
mine just a few months ago for $2,000 - a 2002 750NH, 19,000, all good/
great except for broken tach (common) and ripped seat (I wanted a
Corbin anyways).  Bought it from a guy in San Francisco, and I'm on
the Peninsula.

 That looks pretty nice.   Two or three years ago, I gave $2200 for one that
 was similar - except that it had the side cover.  It’s with me here now in
 New Zealand along with its buddy – my ’85 700s.

 If you don’t sell this one and still have it in November, I’ll be back in
 the USA then and I’ll be coming through the Bay Area.   I’m thinking of
 buying another bike for my US visits.  And, as a lucky stroke, I have a good
 friend in the Bay Area (Benicia) who would let me store the beast in his
 garage when I’m out of the country.   So, if you don’t sell it, let’s stay
 in touch.

 And, if you do get rid of it, then et this E-Mail serve as notice to you
 other Night Hawkers that I’ll be looking to get a bike when I’m back in the
 US in Nov/Dec.  It doesn’t necessarily have to be a 700s either.   One of
 the newer 750’s might suit me as well.  

 Keep me in mind, Hawkers.

 Hi Folks,

 Finally got off my butt and too some pictures (attached). Some info. about
 my bike:

 ·         1986 CB700 SC

 ·         13,688 miles

 ·         Got a front fork servicing 1 ½ years ago.

 ·         Engine servicing 1 ½ years ago (nothing major – more of a check
 since valves are self-aligning).

 ·         Oil changed routinely when in use

 ·         Engine runs like a dream

 ·         New Battery

 ·         Seat in perfect condition

 ·         Rear cowling is faded

 ·         Ride side (cover?) is missing.

 ·         Front tire good, rear tire needs replacement

 ·         No custom parts – all stock.

 ·         Bike has never been dropped while riding. Some minor scrapes 
 scratches from falls (not while riding – all lame-O moves in the driveway)

 That’s about all I can think of. I live in CA (near SF). Any thoughts as to
 what I might get for this?

 Thanks,

 Greg

 Hi Greg,

 A little more info would be helpful.

 1. How many miles?

 2. Has the bike ever been dropped?
 3. What kind of shape is the paint in? The seat? The tires?

 4. Are there any custom parts or is the bike completely stock?

 5. Etc...

 And a picture would be helpful too.

 I honestly don't know what bikes are going for in the Bay area, but I would
 guess (depending on your mileage and the overall shape of the bike) you
 could get anywhere from $1500 to $2500. That's a wide spread because there
 are so many unknowns.

   learning more every day.  I've read and re-read the Carb Washer Mod

   pointers highlighted in the instructions - could you offer any
   additional hints/tricks?  Thanks in advance.

Vadum -

Please report back - especially with any 'I should Haves'  For
everyone - the washers are $2.19 at Radio Shack.  I'll probably get to
it in two weeks as the weekends are already booked with family stuff.
Have a great weekend all.

If you want to stay with the branded stuff - Uni sells just the oil or

 re-attach the spring. Now take 2 #4 washers and slide them down the needle 
 and put the needle back in the carb slide. Put the needle retainer back in 
 then drop the slide back in the carb (note the placement of the little rubber 
 ring on the edge of the diaphragm). Put the big spring back in the slide, and 
 screw down the cap (there is a bump on the cap that corresponds to the little 
 ring on the diaphragm, don't crank the screws really tight as you can strip 
 the threads on the carb body). Repeat for other carbs. The two inboard carbs 
 are the only ones that can be tight to get at because of the frame spine. 
 Also #3 carb is under the wiring harness so you'll need to move it a little, 
 no big deal though.

 Allen -

 This might sound 'stupid' but it's not - it's real.  I'm happy to put
 in the time to learn (more) all about my bike, but I've never even
 taken my tank off (yet).  I've had my NH750 for about 3 months now and
 learning more every day.  I've read and re-read the Carb Washer Mod
 instructions/pictures atwww.nighthawk750.com- it sounds pretty
 straight-forward.  Could you/would you recommend that a newbie like
 myself work though this at this point?  I'm moderately handy and
 mechanically-inclined and very meticulous about things.  Beyond the
 pointers highlighted in the instructions - could you offer any
 additional hints/tricks?  Thanks in advance.

 (Worse thing for me would be to somehow disable the bike and I can't
 enjoy it on weekends!)

There are actually a couple of Indy-shops that partner with on-line

[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: For Sale: Black 2000 750 Nighthawk

[ewun]

I think that's 'within-range' I guess.  I just paid $2,000 for a 2002
NH750 with 19k here in the San Francisco Bay Area, California.

  Dunno if I'd spend $3500, but only the market will tell if it's worth
  that.  On the other hand, I already have one, so what do I know.

  Market prices here in the south range from $1500-$2500 from half-way
  decent to pristine shape.  I've seen some advertised in the
  neighborhood of $3000, but don't know if they actually sold for that
  when all was said and done.

[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Starter for 84' CB650SC

[ewun]

Hey Jim -

Just wondering - I also live in the Bay Area (Peninsula - San Mateo)
and just acquired a 2002 750 NH (19,000 miles in good shape).  Would
you happen to have any good recommendations for local service/
maintenance shops/mechanics that are reputable and do a great job?  It
would be ideal to have some references for the work that's beyond my
(limited) abilities (even with a shop manual).  Thanks in advance.

Eric

 I have had some problems with my Harley generator and the cost is way
 too much to

 starters and generators
 alternators too. usually not too bad a price around 100.00 here in
 Silicon Valley in California
 since gas is at 4.39 a gallon.

  Anyone got a starter for a reasonable price for a 84' CB650SC?

  I thought I had a weak battery, but jumped it directly to my car battery 
  and it still cranks slowly, with intermittent slows/almost stalls.
  Going to tear it down, but just in case I need one..

[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Cleaning, Polishing and Maintenance Tips?

[ewun]

Hey, thanks Graham.  I was figuring it was going to be an 'all or
nothing'.  I'll probably try tackling the flat side covers as they're
easy, the fork legs - I'll just keep them as clean as I canfor
now.

Guess I was looking for the 'miracle ointment' that would polish both
the clear and the aluminum at the same time!

Cheers!

 Hi Eric,  I have a 2002 Nighthawk 750 also.  Mine doesn't have the  
 corrosion yours has but I have and have had other bikes that do.  You  
 can't do much about the alluminum that has the clear coat other than  
 sand it off and shine the alluminum.  I have done that on bikes and  
 it can come up like chrome.  Flat pieces like some of the engine side  
 covers are relatively easy to do but others aren't.  I did the valve  
 cover on a CB650 Nighthawk, just sanded the top and the beveled edge  
 and it turned out great.  If you have all the buffing tools to get in  
 the crevices, it would be easier.  Some Kawasakis of the 80's don't  
 have the clear coat and the alluminum polishes up pristine. Graham

  Question for all the NH Experts here (just got mine a week or so  
  back).  2002 750 Nighthawk (yeah!)

  How do you clean and polish and with what - the front fork legs,  
  engine side covers and engine top casings?  Seems there's a  
  (plastic?) coating on the aluminum so I'm not sure I can use an  
  aluminum/metal polish.  They look pretty 'crappy' and pocked-marked  
  from road debris, general neglect, and just 'stuff'.  So, it's now  
  - part plastic-stuff, and part bare aluminum.

  Thanks,

  Eric

[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Insurance Coverage

[ewun]

Progressive.  Very zip-code specific in terms of cost.  Being it's the
San Francisco Bay Area (crazy drivers, metro, etc.) $190 - full
coverage+ like Viggy's.  Shopped Progressive, GEICO, Allstate, State
Farm, AAA - all higher.

 $76/yr with Allstate for my '84 700SC.  My coverage is  100,000/person;

 with Progressive.  I looked into combining into one.  Allstate wants double
 (what I'm paying now) for my auto, Progressive wants double to cover my
 bike.  Multiple vehicle discount my ass...

  Progressive $110 year full coverage and road side for 96 750.

  State Farm was about $350 for the 96 750 Nighthawk.  My agent admitted
  that they purchase from Progressive and resell it as their own.  I'm
  sure other companies do the same.

[Nighthawk Lovers] New Guy (old guy)

[ewun]

Back into riding after many-many years and just picked-up a 2002 750
Nighthawk in great condition.  Got it for many reasons - but mostly it
was the 'most current' version of what I remember riding back in high
school; a Honda 550 Four.

With about 16,000 miles on her, all black, her only real deficiency is
the well-noted problem -Tachometer went out several-thousand miles
ago.  Over time, I might do something about that.  Got her off of
Craigslist from a gent who 'retired' from riding at 72, with a well-
documented history of regular service and attention.

I'm in the San Francisco Bay Area and looking forward to lots of
riding 10 months out of the year.  Looking forward to hearing of all
the banter, mod suggestions, maintenance tips and riding stories.

Eric
