Graham,  nice looking bike.  where did you get the Nighthawk 750 for the side cover?  is there a place out there making them?  I'm missing one on my 82 and cant seem to fine one, thinking of just replacing them with stickers. thanks   Mack 82 750 Nighthawk   From: Graham Roger

it was on a suzuki bandit 600.  if the kick stand was down it would stall if you put it in gear.  also had an alarm on it.  on the ferry over to the isle of man you could hear all the alarms going off down in the storage when you hit some ruff water.    Mack  82 750 Nighthawk From: Dennis
