Re: Quiet bike, NC WAS: Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: pegs/windshield
Raleigh. It's irritating to be on the Blue Ridge Parkway with all its beauty and critters to have an ear-splitting scrum of cycles roar by, oblivious to bird songs and the rest of the joys of riding the parkway. I'm sure many hard-core bikers would consider a rider who likes bird songs a bit "quar." Interestingly, there are many, many small-displacement, quiet bikes on the parkway as well. I think they seek it out for sanctuary. Bill S. On Wed, Nov 2, 2011 at 10:18 AM, Jeremy Kindy wrote: > I like the quietness of the bike too. I'm in Winston-Salem area - where > are you in NC?

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: pegs/windshield
A bit of googling came up with this page, which seems plausible for how that fairing might look on the bike: http://members.fortunecity.com/cb900f/81cb9f01/81cb9f1a.htm I like it - would love some hand protection, non-electric gloves only do so much.

[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: pegs/windshield
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_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=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.

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: pegs/windshield
I'm not trying to spoil the camaraderie, but one reason I like the Nighthawk so much is it's the anti-Harley, and doesn't have a mostly Goth following. It's sleek, aerodynamic and q-u-i-e-t, something I appreciate more and more after decades of noise in my workplace -- television news. North Carolina is dominated by Harley riders who feel the need to be monolithic in dress and noise. Honda has been my refuge, a place of diversity and acceptance.

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: pegs/windshield
finaly got to check out that aircraft... yea, its HOT... sounds like its in a private museum and thats cool... check out www.*fantasyofflight*.com its a private collection. has alot of rare and unique aircraft. everything in the collection is flight ready (that alone is impressive) and at least 90% original. every year they do "mustangs and mustangs" if your into vintage american mussel and vintage war birds... its worth not missing...

[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: pegs/windshield
That's one of the reasons I swapped the black skins from my '95 parts bike to my '96 and vice versa. The other reason was the '96 skins were hot-rod-cop-magnet-pearl-shining-look-at-me yeller. Black skins, blacked-out motor -- gotta love it! Gotta keep it clean and shiny, though. Otherwise it lookseh!

[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: pegs/windshield
I know several people in this group have the SlipStreamer Spit Fire. You can pick it up for about $60 off of eBay. It's not nearly as cool as the NationalCity one but its the perfect size to keep the wind off. I purchased crash bars and highway pegs on eBay - I found some Highway pegs out of China for a good price and they haven't rusted (I live in Hawaii - rust is a major problem). I've had them for about 25,000 miles and have maybe used them 15 times. I'm 6'3". They look cool but I don't use them at all but I'm also a daily commuter the longest ride here is maybe 60 miles without stopping. Sean On Oct 26, 11:57 am, Bill Sandifer wrote: > Yes!
