[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: 450 nighthawk carb intake boots

Harumph!...and the horse you rode in on. You can get intake boots for your piece of sh!t on ebay, craigslist or any salvage yard, but you knew that.. Good luck with the search. But trust us Honda nerds...with your attitude, it'll still be a ride-a-mile-tinker-awhile pos after you've found

[Nighthawk Lovers] Brake master cylinder body on 85 450 punctured. Fixable? Anyone willing to sell a replacement?

The window on my 1985 CB450SC Nighthawk's brake master cylinder body (the main reservoir) took what appears to have been a pebble, and now has a small hole. I'm not sure when it happened, but it was parked for a week and when I went to ride, I had no brakes and you could see fluid had leaked out fr

Graham, the next time you get a Maxim 650 let me know and I'll mail you some jets. Some 112 main jets and a washer really smoothed out the power band. Roll on is much stronger, but I still have a flat spot. I'm going to try another washer and then some 116 jets because it feels like it wants even m

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Clutch/low gears rattling?

If the carbs are dirty enough messing with the idle screw will need to be done when cold and then again once it warms up. As for the clacking I'd suspect the clutch. The cork friction material turns into linoleum after 30 years then starts cracking and falling apart. Investigate the issue before ri

There's a huge difference between "no, thanks, I'm going to do this anyway," and "eff off, don't tell me what to do" with casual insults thrown in. We were asking for the former by dissenting based on an assumption that's so frequently played out. What we got was the email equivalent of a high sch

Yes, but we politely told him it was a bad idea it was. That's the difference. On Apr 11, 2015 5:26 PM, "James O'Gorman" wrote: > You guys do know that we were kinda asking for it though, right? I like > customization but always cringe when someone asks about it on this forum. > > > On Apr 11, 20

[Nighthawk Lovers] Clutch/low gears rattling?

I was out for a drive last night and had some unsettling sounds coming from my bike. When I go from higher gears to low, at stoplights and whatnot, I can hear some clacking and one time it was shaking bad enough to scare me into cutting it off and checking the oil...At one point it didn't want t

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: 450 nighthawk carb intake boots

+1 to all said before. But since your probably doing it for looks, you could make a support bracket. Also if the boots leak air you can fix them with silicone be and a bike inner tube. Allen Thomas On Apr 11, 2015 7:28 AM, "Kurt Nolte" wrote: > x2. The pods are trouble on CV carbs. Better to get

x2. The pods are trouble on CV carbs. Better to get a nice air filter, good exhaust, and play with the carbs themselves. The bikes are hardly air-limited anyway. Kurt On Apr 11, 2015 2:10 AM, "surfswab" wrote: > Not to criticize your plans for the mod, but scrapping the original air > intake sys
