Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] 1991-2003 nighthawk. What is the solution for rusty exhaust under the engine?

I had to rebuild the carbs, gas tank was rotten so i got another one and lined it, master cylinders for brakes and clutch had to be rebuilt‎. Depending on how fussy you are, a lot of disasemble to clean and re paint parts. Also my intake boots off the air box and insulators from the carbs to the intakes were rotten and hard as a rock. Replaced them. It's a labour of love to bring these great bikes back to life but we'll worth it. It's only time lol

Ric: Since you have been thru this already. If I find one with low mileage what would I probably have to do to the machine due to age? Are there parts readily available? Thanks.

I have owned both, many of them and I like both. Just about any 700S you find will need work. All mine did and I’ve owned at least 20 of them. The 750 is a great bike, very smooth and incredibly good motor. I now have just an 86 700S Halloween edition (black, red and orange decals). I could easily have kept my 2002 750 but for different reason. The 700S is a classic. It’s not just utilitarian as the 750 very much is. I think your criteria has to include whether you are looking for more than a reliable, utilitarian, practical bike. Looks is important too. Which one do you think is the better looking to you?

You have a far better chance in the States to find one. Here in Canada far a few in between, mine only had 6000 Kms on it but sat for 12 yrs so major work to bring it back. Hope you can find one, Great bikes

Thanks. Just read about the 84-86 700sc. Sounds like a superior bike to the 91-03 750. It is not "cheaped out" like the 750. Fuel gauge,center stand, 6 spd etc. What are the chances of finding a pristine 700s? Red or the blue would be fine. Gary

Here in Ontario Canada there is a shop that sprays ceramic coating. There is a silver he uses, great finish as he did a black on mine for a 1984 750 sc

I have gathered that one section (silver colored but supposedly not chrome) of the exhaust is prone to rust. What is the solution? Thanks. I am looking for a 2003 bh in vg condition. I am in FL. Red, no black. Earlier years might be considered. Would much prefer a newer year.
