[Nighthawk Lovers] Honda Paint

2011-08-18 Thread Graham Rogers
Hi you all, I have a 1996 Honda CB750. I'm trying to match the color - pearl yellow. Seems impossible to do so by the color code (Y 124- P). Any suggestions? Graham -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers! group. To post to

That particular color requires a base coat, a color coat and a two- part clear to get a decent job. Color-rite has all the info and materials you'll need: http://www.color-rite.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!

Probably due to fading. You will either need to repaint everything or take a piece of the bike with good paint on it to a dupont automotive supply store, or body shop, and have them color match it. Sent via BlackBerry by ATT -Original Message- From: Graham Rogers graha...@ptd.net

Okay so a stupid question from a newbie. My Front Fork brace is cracked. Is it safe to ride until I get a new one or should I park it and wait till the new one gets here? It's on a 85 nighthawk 650 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Nighthawk

The old bikes had those braces because their fork tubes were skinny and would flex under load. Graham is right, it isn't advisable as you have a higher chance of loosing control with out the brace. Sent via BlackBerry by ATT -Original Message- From: Graham Rogers graha...@ptd.net

Dunno but I was thinking that depending on angle its leaning at might be affecting the float level, thus richening or leaning the mixture. Other than that I got nothing. Sent via BlackBerry by ATT -Original Message- From: Kurt Nolte vturbine.po...@gmail.com Sender:

H, I hadn't thought of those. I lubed the cable last time I had it off, and it's not binding there I know, but I forgot about the enricheners themselves. I'll give a shot. Also, it has worsened/changed. Idle's now around 1500 all the time, with a 2500+ idle speed when leaned. Super bizarre...

I haven't, but I did wonder what/why a vacuum leak would only affect the bike on left leans. At least I don't have many places to check for such leaks, unlike my VWs... :p If/when it stops raining, I shall check into these things. On Aug 18, 2011 8:47 PM, Graham Rogers graha...@ptd.net wrote:
