Nah, I didn't get any pics of that one. I took plenty of pics of that God awful gold monstrosity though.Those with a strong stomach can view them at http://munz.kicks-ass.net/nighthawk/?p=219 -Kyle On Tue, Mar 10, 2009 at 12:57 PM, Creative Residential Designs <[email protected]> wrote: kyle do you have a picture of said crispy-critter? It doesn't take a genius to know that body putty is porous and therefore NOT a good sealant against corrosive gas. ----- Original Message ----- From: Kyle Munz To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, March 10, 2009 10:45 AM Subject: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: 1995 Nighthawk fairing/chin fairing/ luggage rack wanted I'm not an expert on body work or bondo, but... My local salvage yard has one nighthawk that obviously caught on fire. What happened is the guy drilled holes in the tank to pull a dent out, then bondoed over it and repainted etc. All the right steps for getting a dent out of a fender, but apparently it started to leak, and was parked next to the water heater, and took the house with it when it went. -Kyle On Tue, Mar 10, 2009 at 11:42 AM, Marco <[email protected]> wrote: Hi - Re: complete disassembly: don't. Motorcycles are a huge pain to put together, and the 91-03 Nighthawk is a warhorse - it'll take quite a bit of abuse and neglect. Do a general inspection and replace things piece by piece, it'll maximize your chances of having a running motorcycle at the end. Repainting: I'm currently considering doing the same, as well as bondo- ing some dents on the gas tank. No experience either way. I'd like to hear your report back to the group when you do it, if you don't mind. Chin fairing: a lot of people use National Cycle or Givi fairings. You can buy a short windscreen/flyscreen very cheaply. I have one on the way as well. Luggage rack: most luggage racks made for the CB750 are actually made for the Seven-Fifty, which is the European version, and attach to the grab rail. The US version doesn't have a grab rail and so you'll need to do some cutting and fabricating to put it together. However, Ventura has a kit for the Nighthawk (http://www.ventura-bike.com/ fitments.aspx?manu=Honda), and Givi makes a universal fitment kit, so you do have some options.
