What can I say, Allen, I'm old school all the way. Notice the visor on the bubble, too. Works great heading west in the evening. I have several full helmets but I basically hate them. > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lover

How many miles? Does the tach work? It looks nice, I prefer the silver engine bikes. Slap some superbike bars on it. On Mon, Apr 6, 2015 at 11:37 PM, Paul wrote: > Hahaha! Only one so far! > > > *Paul LeBoutillier * > *www.hondanighthawks.net * > Honda Nighthawk

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Brakes sticking

+1 just pop out the pistons, hit them with some jeweler's rouge on a buffing wheel, use a brass wire wheel on the slider pins to knock off any rust. If there is light pitting you can still usually get away with reusing the pistons. pick out the seals (flat O-rings) with a dental pick and clean the

Hey CN don't let Graham scare you away, LOL. You basically have 3 choices, MACS which work fine, are probably the loudest, but they use poor chrome/paint and you will have to touch them up just about every season. http://shop.macperformance.com/SC-550-NIGHTHAWK-1983-1984_c142.htm Second you can ta

Hey Glenn, I hope so too. July is a busy month! The BEST days for me would be early in that last week, Sun, Mon, Tues (26, 27 or 28). Later in the week we're hooking up our RV and heading to the Idaho Mountains. Are you going to be able to update the group on your ride as you go? *Paul LeBoutilli

Javier - I bought 2 of the Super White bulb on eBay for around $10. They're much brighter than the stock and I have no complaints. They aren't HID, you can get a conversion kit on eBay for about $20 to $50, but I don't need it that bright. Search for "nighthawk 750 super white" and you'll get

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Brakes sticking

You need to clean the calipers, whether or not they need replacing can only be told once you have them torn down. Most likely they have a little bit of corrosion and just need the disposable bits replaced. I took pics when I tore down and rebuilt the brakes on my 700S, it shouldn't be that much dif

[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Brakes sticking

I dunno, but a full caliper replacement sounds a bit drastic to me, at least as a first response. The only moving part in the calipers is the piston, the thing that pushes your one moving brake pad against the rotor. I would fix in this order: 1. take it apart and clean it so it doesn't stick an

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Brakes sticking

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Brakes sticking

Sounds like the pistons in the caliper are not retracting. They can get sticky due to old brake fluid and dirt. I would advice service them. Give the caliper and pistons a good clean. I think there are also kits you can buy to rebuild the caliper (I haven't done this myself), but probably a good cl

Hey gang, Recently the front brake on my 86 CB450sc has been sticking. One brake pad is fine, but the outside one is in constant contact with the rotor. I replaced them a week or so ago and it was fine for a while but it has started wearing down again. Any thoughts on what it might be? Do I nee
