It was not that long ago that a 250 was a nice midsize bike With a 650 being enormous And I sure the ride, reliability and efficiency being much better today Then back then

Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Nighthawk 250 CC Tour! Hi Paul, Could you please tell me where you purchased your sissy bar/backrest? I'm having a hard time finding one for my 2000 Nighthawk 250. I've tried Google but no luck. Thank you. - Rob (incidentally, I owned a late 90's 750 and it was my favorite bike of all time; I'm teaching my wife to ride the 250, then might get another 750 for me) On Tuesday, March 15, 2016 at 5:18:54 PM UTC-6, Paul wrote: Welcome to the group! Wow!! Coast to coast on a 250? I guess my first question would be how many trips has he already taken on the 250? I installed a sissy bar and backrest on my 250 years ago. (I no longer have the bike.) The one I installed did NOT have a rack. [https://groups.google.com/group/nighthawk_lovers/attach/c9800048d0e13/Nighthawk250.jpg?part=0.1&authuser=0] Is that the kind of setup you'e looking for?

My husband and I are both owners of a couple of Nighthawk 250s. His is a 2008. I'm helping him plan a CC trip from San Francisco, Ca to Columbus, Ohio this spring, solo. Since he hasn't done this before, we're trying our best to prepare him well for his journey. The Nighthawk isn't an easy bike to load gear on, from what I can tell. I admittedly have limited experience, but it seems a bit more challenging, yet possible. I've seen where people have bought Hondaline backrests that were designed for the Honda VLX600 Shadow, but am concerned about it being a good fit. There don't seem to be a lot of people talking about what backrests/sissy bars they installed on the 250. Does anyone have experience putting a backrest/sissy bar on the Nighthawk 250? Also, aside from having his bike well serviced before the journey, if anyone has any tips, I love hearing about the experiences of others! Rubber side down!
