Hi Eric, I have a 2002 Nighthawk 750 also. Mine doesn't have the
corrosion yours has but I have and have had other bikes that do. You
can't do much about the alluminum that has the clear coat other than
sand it off and shine the alluminum. I have done that on bikes and
it can come up like chrome. Flat pieces like some of the engine side
covers are relatively easy to do but others aren't. I did the valve
cover on a CB650 Nighthawk, just sanded the top and the beveled edge
and it turned out great. If you have all the buffing tools to get in
the crevices, it would be easier. Some Kawasakis of the 80's don't
have the clear coat and the alluminum polishes up pristine. Graham

Question for all the NH Experts here (just got mine a week or so
back). 2002 750 Nighthawk (yeah!)
How do you clean and polish and with what - the front fork legs,
engine side covers and engine top casings? Seems there's a
(plastic?) coating on the aluminum so I'm not sure I can use an
aluminum/metal polish. They look pretty 'crappy' and pocked-marked
from road debris, general neglect, and just 'stuff'. So, it's now
- part plastic-stuff, and part bare aluminum.
Thanks,
Eric
