[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Matching motorcycles with windshields...

Yeah, part of my "preference" between the models was the price - I got mine on ebay for $75 with no shipping costs incurred as I just had to drive to Madison to pick it up (and was going there for work, anyway). The windshield that came with the bike when I bought it was similar in size and covera

RE: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Matching motorcycles with windshields...

Looks like the only difference between the Slipstreamer S-00 and S-02 is the squarer lines on the 02. The size looks about the same. That's really a matter of preference and style. I prefer the S-02. Ron -Original Message- From: nighthawk_lovers@googlegroups.com [mailto:nighthawk_lo

[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Matching motorcycles with windshields...

I have a Slipstreamer S-00 Enterprise on my 82 CB750SC. Being a newbie rider (for a year now) I hadn't ridden another bike until this last weekend when I was visiting a buddy and rode his brand new Harley Fat Boy. Obviously it was quite a different experience, not only because it was Harley v Hon

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Idle on 2001 750 Nighthawk

what does it idle at when warmed up? I have mine set at about 1100 rpms (2002 750) and yes there's one big screw in the middle under the carbs. Mine is warm enough to be idling right after about two miles, Graham On May 17, 2012, at 9:40 AM, Thomas Cuzman wrote: > To all, > > Quick questio

[Nighthawk Lovers] Idle on 2001 750 Nighthawk

To all, Quick question... I know the 750's need to warm up quite a bit before riding when it is cold out but every now and then mine still dies when coming to a stop. Had the carbs fully cleaned last year and then drained the bowls for winter storage. Should I turn up idle a little bit to help out

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] rookie looking for suggestions

Quick update, I was able to spend some time working on my bike last weekend. Progress is going a little slow since this is my first time doing something like this and I have been labeling every like crazy so I can put it back together again. Photos and some sort of write up to follow. I will
