ANY of you guys who want to send me a cylinder to cut a key, I would be HAPPY to take it in for you and have a key made then ship it all back to you. The original bid for making two keys from the ignition was $18.50 *Paul LeBoutillier * *www.hondanighthawks.net *

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Tire size

Maybe so, I'm not an engineer. I just wanted to state it so that the OP knows and can research and decide for them selves. After seeing Javier run radials for a good 5 years, I'm convinced that the Nighthawk rims can take it. I'm guessing it is more of a consern with the older bike rims which are n

First congrats and welcome. Parts - original parts can be found on eBay. Other parts that are made today Bike Bandit. They are competitive priced and easy returns if needed. Plus if you're an AMA member you get a discount. Given what the PO did to your bike I'd replace the battery anyway.

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Tire size

Ehhh... I suppose that might contribute, but... I'm not convinced the difference is that great. The plies in both are essentially fabric (nylon or poly); they don't provide any sort of compressive strength, like you'd need in an impact situation. The plies are there for their tension strength, to k

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Headlight out on '96 NH 750

Javier, the parts fiche says it takes an H4 bulb, so any replacement bulb listed as an H4, HB2, or 9003 will work. Just keep in mind that the brighter bulbs have a shorter lifespan. Like the silverstar bulbs last about 1/3 the length of a standard bulb. Allen Thomas -- You received this message

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Tire size

Kurt, the reason is the orientation of the bands in the tires. On a bias ply the threads are arranged in an x pattern which distributes the load over a larger section of the rim. On a radial tire the bands are in + pattern with the sidewall bands at a 90 degree angle to the rim. This places load fr

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Headlight out on '96 NH 750

Before I mentioned I was having an issue with my headlight. I lost the low beam. I was convinced it was something wrong with the wires, because I switched them and got low beam and no high beam. Anyway, I checked again, with more care, and I got power in both wires at the headlight. I took the head

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Tire size

I don't know how do you remember those things Allen. I remember I put new tires when the bike was still on your garage, so probably 2 years ago now. But in any case, yes, they are BT-something, either 23 or the newer 30, and they are great. Those are the second pair I put in my nh750, and I really

I should note that your bike was designed for bias ply tires, running radials on it you have a higher risk of bending or cracking a rim. Allen Thomas On Apr 5, 2015 10:16 AM, "Allen Thomas" wrote: > The thing that impressed me about the BT023 is the wet traction, I run > them on my VFR. With the

RE: [Nighthawk Lovers] Tire size

The thing that impressed me about the BT023 is the wet traction, I run them on my VFR. With the pilot power 2CT that I was running prior I had it skip out on me a couple of times, both when cold and wet, none of that shenanigans has happened yet after switching. Allen Thomas On Apr 5, 2015 10:07 A
