I think it sounds pretty good for one of those. They tend to be quite mechanically noisy. Riding it is a trip, it makes a neat hollow sound at 2000 and whistles from the carbs at that speed too. Partially rolling off at most any speed will cause the whistle. When I got it, somebody had drilled out the four rivets in each of the muffler end caps. TOO loud. I replaced them and left it that way. They are odd for a Honda, no paper air filter, just a huge slab of foam in the box. Short intake tubes on the carbs and long, bent square tubes that run from the openings in the lid (all internal). Whatever they had in mind, it makes huge torque at low speeds. I seldom turn it over 4K. In 6th at that figure it makes 75+MPH. It's nowhere near as nice to ride as a Hawk, just brutish.

Your VF1100 sounds nice, but I still think the nighthawks sound better ;) -Kyle -Sent from Houston, TX, United States On Fri, Sep 11, 2009 at 1:14 AM, Dennis Hammerl <[email protected]> wrote: Yeah, I have several. I'll scan and send tomorrow night. Just drop one bowl to check. An outside one will do. Find any bad stuff and you know the rest. --- On Fri, 9/11/09, Kyle Munz <[email protected]> wrote: From: Kyle Munz <[email protected]> Subject: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Kyle, 115 jet size To: [email protected] Date: Friday, September 11, 2009, 12:47 AM Thanks, I didn't get a chance to drop the bowls today. I spent all day in the waiting lounge of my local tire shop while the tire company talked to the leasing company to talk to my company so someone could decide if I deserved new tires or not. I get to go back tomorrow as it was finally decided I deserved tires but they need to be ordered. Ppl say I'm crazy to b$#tch, but I HATE having a company car. Anyhow, I hope to open them up tomorrow at at the least this weekend. Do you know about which RPMs the different jets are used? -Kyle On Thu, Sep 10, 2009 at 11:39 PM, Dennis Hammerl <[email protected]> wrote: The size of the #115 main jet in your bike is .041" The #35 is .005" That's just in case that's what is in there but I'd check the size to be sure if they have been reamed. You may just find something like #120 ! I'm working on the intake area that would be optimum for performance. I included the audio file of the VF11. Lot's of chains and gears running around in there. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
