I had the same problem on my 82 honda nighthawk 450 s c . It was a rusted fuse holder. Bought all new car style fuse holders and it has never happened again. Check for bad fuseholder or connections to it. On Oct 9, 2011 7:52 PM, "marcel cerdan" wrote: > OK, > > Bought a very nice 1985 Nighthawk..

Can't say I blame her. Riding pillion is not something I enjoy either. I've only done it once, when my bike broke down miles from nowhere and a passing stranger gave me a lift to town. I was back there braking, throttling and changing gears all the while, cuz the guy's riding style drove me nutz
