having problems with my power suppl on the 83 650 ie it runs out of charge would isolating the headlight with a switch be of any benefit as legally here in ireland we do not need to have lights on in day time would this use less power and give me some bonus charge or is is it a waste of time polo

I'd start with visually inspecting any wiring involving the charging system and branch out from there.

SaturnKnts <[email protected]> May 14 12:41PM -0700 ^ have always had a love for nighthawks even though i've never owned a bike. he's asking $1,000 and i dont ever see any for less than that in my area. as it is i would be driving 100 miles to pick this up. opinions, thoughts? should i wait for the next one? Will except best offer over $1000 For Sale: 1993 Honda Nighthawk 750, nice running bike, was laid over about 6 years ago going 30 mph and dent in tank is still there as evidence. This is one of Hondas indestructible inline 4 cylinders. 4 into 1 header which makes the bike sound good, still have factory dual exhaust as well. I have taken this bike on a 1000 mile day ride before and it did great. The windshield is about a year old and seat is in good shape. Front tire is good and back tire is about due for a change. Chain/sprockets have about 5,000 miles on them and fork seals were replaced last year. Possibly take trades of small camper or 4x4 atv. Title is clear. Case guard on bottom of engine is scratched up but it did its job when bike was laid over. Back rest has small amount of road rash that I keep polished up so no rusting starts.

Mine supposedly was crashed in a "soft landing" in a grassy ditch. I saw some evidence of that when I bought it, but went for it anyway. Even though it looked and ran great, frame and forks were bent, requiring replacement of those, a wheel, handlebars and some plastic parts before it was road ready and reliable. It's in good shape now, but only after more than $1000 in used parts (+$1500 purchase) and a year's steady wrench work. Unless you are committed to that kind of frame-up restoration project, look elsewhere. I like the model too, and I did not buy it with resale value in mind, but I did not buy it with the idea that it would turn into a money pit, either. But it did, so be prepared for that. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.

Topic: [No Subject] surfswab <[email protected]> May 14 06:29PM -0700 ^ There are as many types and styles of bags as there are motorcycles, so it's neccessary to narrow choices down by deciding what uses you'll put them to -- touring, commuting, running errands, etc. Do you want permanent installation or no? Hard bags or soft? Expensive or cheap? Saddle bags, tail bags, tank bags? All have advantages and disadvantages. Hard bags are generally expensive, that is if you can find them at all to fit the Nighthawk. Soft bags are more versatile, but usually require some innovation to attach them to the bike and get them to stay put. There's one "system" I have my eye on for my '95. It features a one- time installation of a rail to which you can attach several mix or match accessories -- a sissy-type bar for soft bag touring luggage, or a grab handle when not carrying luggage, or a rack and grab handle for light luggage. The accessories are instantly interchangeable, depending on the type carrying you plan to do, and they offer specially designed bags for it. Kinda pricey, but very versatile, seems to me. Haven't sprung for it myself, but queried the company to see if it would fit my bike. They sent me a copy of the installation instructions for the '91-'03 Nighthawks, so I know it will.

Topic: 1982 parts bike Kim Paddock <[email protected]> May 14 03:21PM -0700 ^ Hey all...there is a complete 1982 CB650SC bike for parts in Ontario Oregon. The guy says that his son bought it to fix and lost interest. (carbs needed done). He says it's low miles, dark blue, comstar wheels. It's listed in Craigslist for Boise, Idaho....honda 650. His name is Dennis and his number is 541-881-1459. He has no title, thus the parts bike listing. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
