Thanks for the useful guide. I can deal with timing chain slap.
I might put on some slightly straighter bars, but this bike is very comfy as
is. Are there any common modifications that improve the factory setup?

I'd love if someone could tell me if the sporty windshield from the 700s would
fit into an '85 650 nighthawk? Or, is there an aftermarket alternative? I've
seen some pics by searching online, but no live links.
In my opinion, the front end of the bike is the weak link in the style
department,

I sloshed the tank around and it had gas still in it. I think the reserve

Kyle, how are inline filters any trouble? Do they mess with the fuel delivery

I have a drip of oil flowing out of my left side engine cover. Seems to me, the
most logical reason is the o-ring that seals it! Problem is, it seems every
website I check lists this item as not available! Where can I find it? Or what
can I use instead?

Is this a bulb or wiring issue?

I'm just now finding out that the new seals I installed on my 1985 Nighthawk

sandpaper. What did I do wrong? Are there any critical tips for instal

Thanks for the pics but it's hard to see. One side of the seal has a groove in
in, the other side is smooth. The grooved side faces the piston, correct?

Well, I got new Pistons and seals in. Still one caliper leaks...
Although it is much less of a leak, I wonder if maybe I am just really bad

That could be something. I'll check it out after new Piston comes in.
The only one leaking is the only one I didn't replace a piston on, so I'm
betting that may be the issue, even though the piston looked clean enough.

My calipers have pistons parallel to one another.
There is no boot. Only two seals for each piston. A big seal for the brake
fluid, and a smaller seal closer to the edge of the bore.

I actually found a cheap nighthawk 650 caliper on eBay and made an offer. It
was accepted, so I'll get it in next week and clean it.
Hopefully it's not pitted or scratched. It's supposed to be from a bike with
only 13,000 miles, so that seems like light is.

Update
The other caliper came in. It was dirty so I had to clean it. I popped out the
Pistons, replaced the dust seals, but kept the old main seals in. Cleaned up
the Pistons with a wire brush and brake cleaner.
Now, after bleeding the lines a bit, it doesn't leak. I just have to pick up

Kyle, just wanted to say thanks again. Fortunately it was not the ignition
switch, but the plug that goes into the fuse panel. I'm afraid the bolts that
hold the ignition switch in place are stripped and impossible to remove cleanly.

I know I'm just playing catch-up on 30 years of neglected maintenance, but

Specifically the petcock. I have the Clymer manual, but I seem to have an extra
