I always thought the 550s looked like they were missing that 2nd horn. I wonder how much Honda saved by not putting both on? -Kyle -Sent from Corpus Christi, TX, United States On Fri, Apr 24, 2009 at 1:40 PM, Kyle K.K. wrote: > I just grabbed a set of crash bars from a cb 550 and modified the o

I don't know anything about the Ron Ayers crash bars. I found mine on e-bay and they are Hondaline. They stick out about two inches from the engine on either side. They were from a '82 550, but fit fine. Wayne On Apr 23, 5:26 pm, Graham Rogers wrote: > I have a Corbin on my '02 NH 750 and it

I have a Corbin on my '02 NH 750 and it is very hard. I can't compare it to the stock seat because I've always had the corbin. I know the stock feels softer. I'm only 5'8" and 145 pounds so I'm not a good test case for the corbin. On Apr 23, 2009, at 11:26 AM, Montepaulsen wrote: > > I'm

I have a 650 and it has a really dreadful seat. I've added extra foam and that allowed me to go from 30 minutes to 35. I'm going to look at raising it in the front. One thing I did do that helps is that I put a crash bar on it. Then I put pegs on the crash bar. I'm fairly long legged with siz

I'm taking the seat to a bike upholsterer and having the front section from the riser forward raised to the level of the riser. I'm tall enough to fit the extra height. It might look strange but for me and long rides it's comfort before beauty. Will keep you guys informed. Peter On Apr 19, 7:28

Sargent has a service where they move the riser of the seat back to correct the problem. Of course the pan on the NH is bent upward at the riser position so they can't do it. Whoever designed this seat must have had a miniature bum. Peter On Apr 19, 7:28 pm, Dennis Hammerl wrote: > Yeah, it's ca

I put a Corbin Seat on my '83 650, Best upgrade I have made to the bike, it has doubled my riding time between rest stops. The poor man's solution is to remove the seat and carefully remove its cover, add another layer of foam on the front side of the seat to build that area up and then re-stretch
