I'm more worried about this part of the conversation - Yeah the guy said it had been parked for four years. - If that bike has been parked for only four years - it must have been four long years! I think the guy got skunked. -Joey On Sat, Jun 11, 2011 at 1:11 AM, Kurt Nolte

I have been waiting a week or more for someone who has my carburetors that go to my bike to give them back. I have no idea why the guy won't return them other than some people are very nice or honest. I have a '82 and no carbs that fit are for sale anywhere I have looked. I see a lot of carbs

No my son-in-law had given them to someone to rebuild a few months ago and then after he gave me the bike he said the Guy would return them eventually. But he hasn't yet and I am not sure why. So now I am faced with waiting for some unknown Guy to return built or unbuilt carburetors or buying

You might need to re-wire using an aftermarket fuse box. Or get lucky on a wiring harness through ebay or cycle salvage. Sent via BlackBerry by ATT -Original Message- From: Damion Champ voidsh...@gmail.com Sender: nighthawk_lovers@googlegroups.com Date: Fri, 10 Jun 2011 21:15:59 To:

The 650 and 750 have two different final drive methods: the 750 uses a chain, and the 650 a shaft. Since engine and trans are one unit, you would have to figure out how to either swap the bike over to a chain drive or the 750 trans over to shaft drive. Not really a whole lot benefit to it either,
