I think Tim and I topped out around 75 coming back from Greenville.
Might have been lower, we didn't want to push that old kinked chain.

Just to do it, I went over 100 on my 550Four, back in '69. I had no

but did have a helmet and face shield (lotsa bugs in Puerto Rico). It went

What kind of nighthawk do you have? Either way, put the bike on the center
stand and make sure it's level. Open the drain plug on the bottom of the
rear end below the axle and drain.Replace the drain plug, open the fill
plug, which is above it, a little more than half way. Fill until the gear
