[Nighthawk Lovers] 1982 Nighthawk 750 SC sissy bar

2010-01-16 Thread Jimi Avery
Does anyone have some close up pictures of a factory sissy bar/luggage rack. I just picked one up missing some parts that need to be made as they are no longer available at honda. I'm presently doing some winter work on it, had gas tank rewelded and lined as I developed a couple of leaks and than a

Thanks. That is what i wanted to know and I got her running. Well, at least idling in the garage. First time I've heard her run and it was sweet. I hooked it up the CA way as that is the diagram that I have. Does the non-CA model have the canister underneath the bike? I need to track down

I've looked for baffles, but the diameter is too large.  They're 1-3/4"  The end's of the pipe's are rusted, can't even get the small old baffles out. (thought of fibreglass)They're too big to even screw a lawn-mower muffler on the end's!I don't like making so much racket like the local Harley rid

The second nipple doesn't need a hose, it's only a vent for the back side of the diaphragm as you thought. The only reason it's facing down to begin with is so it doesn't fill with crud. If it's now facing up you could now put a small piece of vacuum line on it facing down and open on the other end

So today I worked for about 3 hours on the bike. I removed the side coverings and the tank. After draining the tank I removed and examined the petcock. Opening up the vacuum assembly didn't show any problems, the gasket was in good shape and sealed well. Furthermore, the bowl at the bottom stil

My bike doesn't look that great to begin with.  I don't have that much time & elbow grease.  It sits outside under a tarp all year round in central Pa. (not conducive to gloss) Once I have a decent paint job, I'll worry about the shine. I'll have to try a little WD-40 for the halibutHad fun riding

Kim, that is exactly what I've been using so far, but it doesn't make my rims shine. It is pretty good stoping the rust... I love it just for that. J. On Fri, Jan 15, 2010 at 1:27 PM, Kim Paddock wrote: > To heck with all of that work. I just use WD-40 and a rag on it. Some of > you got too much
