I have a 1996 Nighthawk 750 and am 6'4. I commute on it every day
and I fit great on the bike. I also have a 1982 Nighthhawk 650 that I
just picked up a month ago and rode for 1,000 miles over the long
weekend. A very easy ride and no complaints on the size.
I paid $2,000 for the 750 last

I passed your suggestion on and asked him kindly to indulge me. He did and
found 'large copper shaving's' when he drained the oil. Says that is

Left hand side panels are cheap. Right hand side panels are really frickin'
expensive.

For one out of three broken tabs - if you can mate the two surfaces
(panel to frame) then velcro works well. The panel needs to be
secure at the other two points of contact however (generally speaking).

I have a friend who is really interested in a 1985 Yamaha XJ700X, the
liquid cooled one. The price is good ($1600) but it has an R title.
Is there a way of checking the history of this bike? I was able to
confirm the make and model with the VIN # but that's all

seen images of ones (probably hondaline ) with a luggage rack coming off the

at my clymers manual and it looks like the rear grab rail

The Honda manual refers to it as the Spark Unit. It says on it,

this is an acronym for Capacitive Discharge Igniter.When you take the

I believe anything from 92 on will fit. I an not sure about previous

Re the 650: I have one of those and it is a Hondaline with the attached

before being installed. Just got all the Aluminum pieces back from the

finish.
Maybe it was a wad of JB Weld. I have used it to reinforce the drain plate

The Hondaline combo backrest/rack fits every NH from 91-03.
You do have to do some minor cutting of the rear cowl to install it, however.

Without any long, boring explanations.. think of a four cylinder Jap bike as
two twins. Independent everything, little shared. Kinda' like losing one
channel of a stereo amplifier.
As for used parts, given the cost of new (if available) I don't see much of a
problem. Electronics are go /no go
You can also put a Magna Master Cylinger (which is what I did) on your bike.
This might give you a few more lower cost options. I think the one I had for
