Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Good old Honda Parts (CBR600RR, 2008, mirrors)

OK, Got my CBR600RR mirrors (2XXX), and you see them held up with tape on the left behind the AirFlow screen I'm holding up. I'm going to move my base screen up to the next 2 screw holes on each side (about an inch higher freeing up the 2 lower holes) which will allow me to get a Sheet metal

Btw Allen, I was enjoying the pics of your bikes on GooglePlus. I especially liked the different color schemes you had of the CB650, including the addition of the 700S fairing. You did that with a Photoshopping program, I take it? On Friday, April 8, 2016 at 7:51:11 AM UTC-4, Allen wrote: >

Some good info. there, Kurt. I thought the unit was sealed. Getting the actual bulb is not a problem. I was assuming that by being sealed the whole thing would have to be completely replaced. If not, can I make a plastic lens, or will the heat affect it? If it doesn't have to be sealed, I think I

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Headlight for 1983 CB650SC Nighthawk........

By "standard automotive headlight" do you mean a crummy "sealed beam" style all in one headlight? Because if I recall correctly (been a while since I touched mine) the Nighthawk 650 has an H4 style lamp (with a motorcycle/wide base) and H4 style optics, which is the way good contemporary

Thanks for the reply, Allen. I agree with you about the added modifications somewhat. I do like the all black look of the 700S pictured above, but I also like the stock look. I did find some sources that had the bulb, but they wanted about 180 bucks for them. E-Bay did have some used ones for

I've tried it both ways, disconnecting the boots is definitely the harder way due to the inaccessibility of the allen bolts between the center cylinders. Graham's method with the spray lubricant and a pry bar works. In the absence of a pry bar straddling the bike and wiggling the carbs up and down

I don't have a 90s NH but I would assume it's the same setup as the 80s bikes and every other bike I've had to wrench on. The cables have a barrel on the end just like the bicycle brakes. Once you get the carbs off and some slack in the cables you can slide the barrels out the side of their

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Headlight for 1983 CB650SC Nighthawk........

Sorry to hear your headlight got busted up. Before even considering swapping to a round light I would do as much research as possible. I wouldn't think the round would use the same fuel gauge, or gear indicator sender units. As for mods you have a list there. Most people seem to just clean them up
