A little history first; I bought a brand new '02 NH 750 in Jan '02. I rode the bike for 2-3 years, then passed it along to my son when I moved on to bigger bikes. I'v been thru a Concours, St1100 and currently have a Valkyrie. Nice bike, but not much of a commuter. (anyone want a really big

I use a spitfire windshield. It's small but it keeps the majority of the wind from pushing on your chest and still gives you some airflow. -Kyle On Thu, Apr 16, 2009 at 7:36 AM, Wahrsuul wahrs...@yahoo.com wrote: A little history first; I bought a brand new '02 NH 750 in Jan '02. I rode the

Hey, he's kinda like Kyle. We can start a group with *yle as our name. On a more serious note, they do make alarms for when your bike gets moved, but by the time your bike is moving, it'll be on the ground anyway. Maybe sit outside with a paintball gun for a little while one of these nights.

You're right, we need to catch them in the act. How about the string runs to a net in a tree over the bike covered in bells, and a cat. That should detain them briefly while making a bit of a ruckus to get your attention. Can you park near a tree? -Kyle On Thu, Apr 16, 2009 at 10:53 AM, Kyle

So you put the pitbull in the tree, attached by the same string to the cat, the net, and the bells. Now you've got the punk knocking bikes over trapped in a net, ringing bells, a cat stuck to his head, and a pitbull trying to get to the cat... More seriously, the only alarm I've found is this one

I just bought my 1982 650 Nighthawk and love it! I was wondering if anyone had any good sites to go too for OEM parts and even aftermarket parts. I noticed a wide variety of pipes on various photos of these bike and would like to know if there is any preferred aftermarket pipe for the 82 650.

For most bikes an alarm system would drain the battery too much, I think.  The apartment complex next to the storage facility where I work part - time has had a rash of bikes stolen of late and many have started storing their bikes in the smaller units.  It may mean a little bit of a walk, but

Considering the high revs the engine attains, I would definitely put it back also.  I think it would keep oil slinging into the sump from being aerated,which would thereby reduce the effectiveness of the oiling of critical components - like the crank, mains, rods, - actually, all of the fast

Now we're talking! Why not turn the whole bike into a taser? Hook up a large capacitor to the frame, when the punk touches it to knock it over he completes the circuit to ground and ZAP! This might also discourage meter maids from giving you a parking ticket. -Kyle On Thu, Apr 16, 2009 at
