How's the oil? Nighthawks are touchy about the oil and you can burn up an engine when you fail to check the oil after every 2nd or 3rd ride. It won't be cheap if you have somebody else do anything to it of course. If I could see it in person and hear it would help...anon! The ball is in your court on this one. I, of course, would be happy to give you an address on where to send your unwanted, lonely Nighthawk parts....let us know what you decide to do to your ride.

I'm wondering what the group's opinion is regarding this repair. He is going to charge me to tear it down in order to confirm and provide an estimate. I have not the slightest idea if this is a worthwhile repair and if so, how much I should consider or limit my spending to. The bike does have some sentimental value to me, but money's tight and I could really use the group's experience and advice with regard to opinions on how to proceed and maybe the right questions to ask. Thanks as always. -Brian --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
