Is this a 250? I'm wondering how softtail exhaust would be useful. You will probably find that the CV carbs don't work well with pod filters. Though I have read elsewhere that using the airbox boots with the pods helps to keep the vacuum at the air jets. I would also plumb the crank case vent to all the pods to keep the slides lubricated. Have you ever ridden a rigid? You might want to just replace the shocks with a solid strut rather than weld, so you can go back if the crappy ride gets old. Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T

First, I'll give a little backstory: About 8 months ago I did a little trading on Craigslist and ended up with a decent nighthawk. At factory, it wasn't a bad bike but it needed some personality. I jumped right in and started changing things I didn't like and had a nice bike to ride around on. Then a good friend of mine wrecked it (Luckily he wasn't hurt too bad) and I basically had some shiny scrap, so I started from the ground up and I'm currently working on getting her back to where I want her. Mods include: -removal of the god-awful factory air box and passenger pegs -conversion into a rigid -smaller solo seat. -28" black drag bars -Arlen-Ness billet chrome mirrors -fixed steel rear flat fender -Harley Davidson highway pegs -Harley Davidson FLH pipes (which need to be replaced!) -Offset chopper-style brake light and custom tag mount -And strangely enough, Renthal soft compound MotoX grips, which are pretty comfortable as it turns out. Mods to come: -Harley Davidson SoftTail pipes (They were free and I want to at leats try them) -2 1/2 gallon peanut tank -new saddlebags (as mine were destroyed in the wreck) -bobber spring seat -Classic chopper style pods -a little creative surprise for turn signals on the rear! I will be more than happy to post some pics when the rain lets up and any suggestions are greatly appreciated! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
