Try some Avon RoadRunners. I put a set on my 650 last year. A good
friend of mine who was the original owner of an identical '83 650 that
he commuted onfor over 125,000 miles and did spirited weekend rides
ran many sets of tires on his nighthawk. The Roadrunners were the

Sorry, but it makes me ill to see one of these rare machines in that
condition. One more reason for me to find a 550 museum piece and park
it next to my 650 for posterity.
If you give up on it, please make sure the parts get circulated to

Adjusting preload will do nothing for your ride. It only sets the sag
