Last time I checked, this was still the U.S. of A. and we are all free to do
what we wish. (Freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of choice). If
the confederacy had won then you would be singing a different story (and
whistling Dixie). If he wants a confederate flag that's his business. If I want
to call my bike "Ratt Fink" I'll do that to. (My Harley, not my Hawk). Send me
a picture when you're done Kyle....there won't be another Hawk like it I'm sure.

why would anyone want to put the symbol of a bunch of loosers' on
anything connected to themselves?

If I were to apply the confederate flag decals to my bike, I think
I'd paint it orange first and put a 01 on the sides. ;)

sure being a little bit too long would not affect how it runs.I can definitely
use the hwy pegs also,they make long trips so much more comfortable.The rust on
the sissy bar is not a big problem ,i can either find a place to re chrome them

I just have to figure out which sizes to get... they will look good
on the bike because it is painted white ... i am still trying to decide what to
put on the front fender ... i was thinking about something along the lines of
this ---> http://www.westonsigns.com/product.php?productid=16420&cat=305&page=1
<--- maybe 4" on that decal to go in the fender
My wife and i saw leather jackets and helmets to match these decals
the other day ... they would go great with my rebel flag tats.
Just let me know tomorrow how much the cost is going to be and we
will get that right off to you, Thanks ~ J. Scott

Oh, so you're just a few or couple of hours from here -
no spark plug wires. If it reaches your #4 will do, just tag it as
#3 for future reference. Sorry no turn signals, mine were all broken. I'll
check again for fuse box cover but I don't remember seeing one. I have some
highway pegs I'll throw in. Keep them or pass them on. I'll mail it all off
tomorrow and let you know what it costs. You'll have to be the judge of the
sissy bar - you saw the pic. There's rust. Only good thing is that it's been
adapted to fit the 650NH, Graham

working today, i can't seem to remember things at times.If you have one i need
a #3 cylinder spark plug wire, i got a wire but its from #4 cylinder and i
don't know if that will work of not.Aside from that stuff all other stuff is
luxury items that i don't really need in order to ride but would like to getin
the future such as highway pegs and crash bars.

Scott, Graham here, what's the air cleaner duct you need? I
have the four rubber boots that go between the carbs and the air box. I have
the air box too.

i know the feeling, my 1st bike was a '83 Nighthawk 650, sold
that becuase i had a plug break off down in the cylinder and my friend who was
going to get it out for me was never around.I ended up buying a Yamaha Virago
920 which turned out to be nothing but problems.I was looking to buy a Harley
Sportster but ended up coming across an'85 nighthawk 650 and couldn't turn it
down for $660 so now i am trying to get it up and running correctly and can't
wait to take my first ride on it once the weather (rain) lets up and i get all
my new parts on it,find needed parts change the oil and get the carbs set
correctly.
New parts to be installed include:
gearshift pedal rubber (already installed ... wife beat me to
it... she just had to install the first part ... i don't mind, she can install
every part if she wants to i am easy to get along with ~ lol)
tank hold down parts(were missing)
side covers (need to be primered & painted)
spark plug wire(replaces one that the previous owner taped
back together)
choke cable (old one was frayed and binding up)
fork reflector(was missing)
turn signals (either install after market ones that came with
the bike or buy new ones that belong on the bike.
battery (now that we finally got the correct one with the
terminals in the correct places, the dealer sold us the wrong one then gave us
a fit taking it back)
Needed parts include:
fuse box cover (missing)
seat ( need replaced or recovered)
instrument assembly (no cover, needles broke off speedo &
tacho)
brake light (not working at all)
air cleaner duct
parts i would like to get but don't necessarily need:
sissy bar
windshield
headlight assembly ( would like to have the rectangle light
that is suppose to be on bike but can live with round one that is on the bike
currently)
engine guard and highway pegs
emblems (for new side covers after we paint them to match
bike ... or could leave "emblemless"... but would it still be a Nighthawk ?)
emblem (for right side of fuel tank... already have the one
on the left side,right side is not being found easily)
service we will have to do to the bike before riding:
oil change ( god knows how old the oils is in the bike, the
previous owner claimed to have put "Restore" into the gas tank ... i thought
"Restore was to go into the oil not the fuel ... so we emptied out the tank and
filled it with fresh fuel
set carburetors (try to find out how to and attempt to set
the carbs after installing choke cable
*** If anyone knows where i can get any of the above parts
that we still need reasonably priced or has any advice about parts we need or
advice on service that we should do to the bike before getting it on the road
please feel free to let us know .We always welcome advice due to the fact that
we definitely do NOT know everything and are always willing to learn and
appreciate any and all advice given. Thank you so very much for reading and
ride safely out there !
Have a great day ~ J. Scott

My first Bike was a 82 650 Nighthawk. I paid $450.00 for it
and have
owned them all from the so called Crotch Rockets (
Uncomfortable
Riding Position), Enduros ( To Top Heavy) and a Harley is( To
Noisy)
and not for me. My Nighthawk was the Perfect Bike in Ride,
Looks and
Reliabilty and It had all the Get up and Go I needed. It's
been said
Over and Over again that once you own one you always want
another and
It's True. Since Selling it I always missed it and wanted
another, and
when I saw the Ad for a 83 550 For Sale I had to check it
out. I
didn't know much about it until I found Paul's Nighthawk Web
Site.
After Reading all the Information about it and what I already
knew
about the Honda Nighthawk I Purchased it. Although it's not
the 650
Nighthawk I was looking for It Is Still A Nighthawk and I am
Happy
with it. Thank's Paul and Everyone Else, Great Site !!!!!!!!
Oh
and Kyle # 2, Hammer out those Dents and Keep Riding.

Gorgeous bike, but when it came time for me to buy, I chose a Ducati 160 Monza
Junior instead.

right?? Big mistake!? In a year, the Ducati was rolling junk...bearings shot,
chrome rusted, paint weathered out.? The Honda still looked and rode like new.
Every bike since has been a Honda: CL175, CL350, two CM450C's and now the
Nighthawk. You can't go wrong by "following The Leader."
