I forgot the brand of mine but I'll take some pics tomorrow. They're smaller than stock (never liked the stock blinkers on the 700s) but they're still incandescent rather than LED. I suppose since the PO already installed the necessary equipment to run LED blinkers my son has that option in

I totally read that wrong. My needle is broken too, actually I've had two of them break. I guess 30 years is about the time limit for the plastic they used. -Kyle On Sat, Mar 12, 2016 at 7:52 PM, Paul wrote: > Hey Tommy, can you take some pictures of the speedo

Carb kits are around $20 on Amazon. The rectangular lights definitely fit with the overall theme of the bike, but I'd try to find a cleaner way to mount them. -Kyle On Sat, Mar 12, 2016 at 7:46 PM, Paul wrote: > Wow, you guys had Dave Grohl in your driveway! > >

Needle, not the cable. Yes! Cocktail sword, flattened on the back to fit over and a spot of glue. Did that to mine and works perfectly. Just notice the alignment mark when you glue it, let it dry, then ease over the bottom peg. Don't remove the metal tab, just gently file (drimmel) the old

Wow, you guys had Dave Grohl in your driveway! Seriously, that bike doesn't look too bad. Speedo cable isn't hard to replace but I'd take the front wheel off and check that the tabs are lined up before ordering one. Carb kits are cheap. Those fog lights are, interesting. I'm curious how it

A couple days ago when I sent the link for the 700S in our area for sale on Craigslist, I sent it also to my (almost) 19 year old son. He's the one who currently owns a Nighthawk 750 but has been passionate about finding a 700S for sometime now. He called me and asked if I would come with him to

I have unfortunately never been even close to a real live 83 550. But I do own a several 84 500's and a 96 750. All of them but one have had the rivets drilled out and the baffles removed at one time or another. I can tell you that on the 500, it makes a BIG difference. It's loud. I suspect

Yeah I understand those of you that like the quiet. When I was younger I couldn't get my bikes loud enough, but now that I'm older I'd rather be less conspicuous. The problem though is that most of the time I'm riding with my son, who has a loud bike. So not only am I unable to hear my bike,
