Welcome Rafal. I did a little research and confirmed that Nighthawks were not marketed in the U.S. that year. So your bike may have been imported from the U.S. to Poland, but it was probably brought here, sans documentation, from another country originally.
I would first speculate that it might be Canadian, since that's nearest our borders and they use metric measure (kilometers). But I know American servicemen who have bought bikes unavailable in the states and "smuggled" them here by various means (crated/stored in the foodstuffs hold of an aircraft carrier, for instance !!). When I was in the Navy I once bought a 500cc Meguro (BSA clone made by the Kawasaki Aircraft Co. in Yokosuka, Japan, before they started producing their own name brand, and transported it to Hawaii aboard ship). I then had it shipped to the mainland as part of my personal household goods when I was transferred. So it's possible that your bike may have originated in a Pacific Rim country as well. Don't know if that helps with the parts problem, but it gives you a helluva story to tell (!) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
