Actually I think it looks pretty good. The seat appears to be the same height
as stock. But because of the mod to the rear wheel there's a huge space between
the two making it look odd. I'm not really into the whole bobber thing, but it

I agree with Allen. If the bike or transmission is still going too fast an
attempt to downshift to first on this style of transmission still be met with
resistance and the symptoms will likely be a clanging or clunking type noise.
Its also easy to miss second gear we while upshifting when first

You only need 1 outlet. There are plenty of high output dual USB adapters. Make
sure as was mentioned earlier they are compatible with your hardware. I bought
some recently that had 1 port dedicated for Android and 1 for apple. There

I never thought about a chain as being dangerous when it comes off. I simply
thought they fell off. I wonder how often they actually fail in that manner
and cause crashes. Has anyone ever heard of a shaft drive failing in a manner
that caused a crash or near crash type scenario? Just wondering.
This bike would likely not go over too well in NYC, but neither does 32 oz soft
drinks. :-O

I pinged Google with your dilemma and found some useful info. The following
link describes a few steps you can take to identify whether your gauge is being
misguided by a faulty oil pressure sending unit or a bad stepper motor in your
instrument cluster. Good luck.

So I'm reading the Clymer and it describes testing
It's been a month since I had the Nighthawk out so I figured I'd take her to
work. It was a little chilly this morning so I figured it would be tough being
her going. After about 30 seconds of cranking the starter speed turning it over

I was in Marlow, OK.
One other thing brake fluid absorbs is paint. Take extra care to protect your
front fender, gas tank and headlight areas from drips of it. My buddy was
helping me and put the reservoir cap on the headlight case and I ended up
having to repaint it. It works as fast as paint stripper.

I too had very old tires on my 650. I priced a number of online sellers, then
decided to get them from my local powersports shop. I don't think there is that
much to save on the tires themselves. But now the big cost is labor. It's was
almost as much as the tires...
