Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Life here on Nighthawk Lovers

If you’re looking for protection from wind, I don’t think 3 and half inches will make any difference. However 10 inches, well I’ll let you know in two weeks (if you remind me), because I ordered the 10 inch plus 2 inch wide Euro model for my 1986 700S, Graham On Tue, Jun 30, 2020 at 6:39 PM Willia

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Life here on Nighthawk Lovers

Thanks everyone for your thoughts on the exhaust. One more question about that subject, the sound that I love so much is coming from the engine, not necessarily from the exhaust, so I had figured if I change the exhaust, I would not lose the lovely sound of the engine purring..? The website t

Graham I live in Osprey, Fl. Warm. Some sites show the first choice for oil is Shell rotella full synthetic t6 5w-40. I am going to use that in my 85 700s, bike due in July 2, 2020. Do you agree? Thanks. Gary On Mon, Jun 29, 2020 at 2:01 PM Graham Rogers wrote: > > Changing the exhaust system

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Life here on Nighthawk Lovers

Changing the exhaust system In any way changes the exhaust note. I have owned all the different Nighthawk models and I go back to the 700S because of the black chrome and the sound. The Nighthawk 700S and the First generation Yamaha VMAX have the best sound, Graham On Mon, Jun 29, 2020 at 1:06 PM

Hey William and welcome to the group! I'm glad you're enjoying your 700S, they do spoil you to just about anything else. Regarding your questions: * I don't know if the 650 exhaust will fit, I had both at one point and a lot of parts do swap like coils and brake switches but never tried the exhaust
