Anyone experiment with air shocks on their Nighthawk? I just purchased
a set from a seller (off a CB900) on the off chance they'd work. If
they don't, I'm giving them to my mechanic and getting a set of
progressive rear shocks in return. Either way I win. :-D

OK, you set the table. The end result just may be a feast. Start with the pride
of your work and finish with a good solid, reliable bike that will serve for
years. Extra points for dedication.

Yes. Follow the diagram to the source of this problem. Above 4k, the slow speed
circuit contributes little to overall. The whole picture will be improved once
the jet and it's internal passage is open. A bike under load requires more
fuel. Does this bike have it's original airbox and filter ? Or
Sabre panels are kinda' big, that's why I wire mine on. They seem to pop out in
the front at high speed. Small holes and black wire ties.

The right side panel on my buddy's Sabre fell off while I was riding it. It
landed on the right foot peg and started flapping back and forth rapidly.
All I know is it felt like someone had just grabbed my ankle while I was
riding down the hwy at 65mph. I just about jumped off the back of that bike.
I broke the bottom stud off my right side panel. Cured the flopping around by
forcing a fat hard rubber cushion (like that on a car suspension) between the
bottom of the panel and the closest frame tube.? The tight fit cured the
problem and the cushion is easily removable when the panel needs to

I used velcro on my GoldWing side covers. It works wherever the
panel makes contact with the frame - and where it doesn't it's easy
to attach something to the frame with a radiator hose so it makes
contact with the panel. Buy the velcro tabs where both tabs have one
side sticky, Graham
you could epoxy (plastic on plastic) over the hinge and screw the otherside
to the fender? Magnets do work nice on my tank bag, but... it might fall
off. Then you really got a dingle-berry with a panel hangin by a thread.

I've often wondered about glassing some hard drive magnets onto the back
side of my panel to see if that would make them stick on better. Another
friend of mine actually threads a small bit of fishing line through one stud
and ties the other end to the frame so if it does fall off it won't go far.
On second thought, I always thought that those panels could be better
fastened with hinges, that screw off for removal. Since you're motivated to
do something, and have an otherwise junk panel, to improve it
(read:hack-job) you could try Ace Hardware for some big 2" door hinges and
cut them down.
Yeah. It's annoying. And it doesn't help that my bike is a one year

It's not just missing studs that are the issue. The person who owned
the bike ahead of me melted the panel so it really doesn't fit well
without some wire holding it on.
