Oh yeah. I forgot about the center stand. That is crucial for lubricating and adjusting the chain, and if you want to do your own tires. The bike should have come with a center stand. Honda really dropped the ball on that one. I don't do my own tires, but I do save a lot of money ordering tires online, removing the wheel and taking it to a guy who mounts and balances new tires for me (and disposes of the old tire) for $20, and the center stand makes that a lot easier. When I remove the rear tire, I can just leave it on the center stand. When I do the front tire, I use a motorcycle jack to hold the front end up underneath the exhaust, but I also use the center stand as the pivot point.
Hawaii Sean, before we talk business on selling you my Corbin seat, how exactly did you break yours in? I've tried riding on mine for extended periods, and it still isn't soft. Maybe if I can get it to be softer, I might finally appreciate it. One more thing I should recommend for the OP is new mirrors. The stock mirrors don't give me much visibility behind me without contorting my body. I can't recommend the mirrors I bought on Amazon, but they're cheap (about $13); they're also too loose, so I ended up using glue to hold them stationary. I do, however recommend you upgrade your stock mirrors with mirrors that stick out farther to the sides than the stock mirrors. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
