I do sense a theme in your choice of decals - I'm from the south to - of the equator - down under. You'll need crash bars for the highway pegs. They're a pair I took off some bike I had. I have four Nighthawks - an '85 650, an '02 750 and two 700's a red '86 and a blue 84 I'm in the process of restoring. #3 wire will not have any adverse affect on how the bike runs. Our son bought a CBR1000 off e-bay in MD. We went down and picked it up - sthn MD near an air force base I think. Part of the bars on the sissy bar are already painted black. I think you'll see how it fits together, I'll e-mail tomorrow and you can Paypal me the $ ([email protected]), Graham
