Hello fellow bikers! I've just purchased my 3rd Nighthawk. The 1st was an 84 Red/Black CB700, the 2nd was a poor pitiful little CB250 with 24000 miles, & now I'm the proud owner of an 86 CB700 that is a complete "Basket Case", & I don't mean The motor's out, & the tank & seat are off....I mean, if it could be taken apart...This guy took it apart & labeled nothing....I have no Idea what was on this guy's mind, but everything is disassembled...well, let me back up....he did leave the tires on the wheels....Hahaha!
I've wanted one of these ever since I sold my 84, so here it is. Although the odometer only shows 15,000, most of the parts look nearly new, especially the tank, seat, fenders, exhaust, etc...but the one problem I see this far is that there is a hole in the center of the top crank case at the back, just above where the cases bolt together. Also there is a broken shaft & a broken gear that I've managed to locate in the box. All of this appears to be a problem in the transmission What I'd like to know is this... Is this a common problem for the Nighthawk 700? or Did something like this more likely happen from playing hot-rod? Also, I have an engine from an 83 nighthawk 650....Can I use the 650 bottom end & transmission with the 700 cylinders & head?
