Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Nighthawk Seat Height

I have a Corbin seat on my 750. The seat is lower, but it is also wider, which doesn't help. I can almost be sure that it can make it even worse. I think you can bring the bike down a tiny bit by compressing the spring of the rear suspension to the maximum setting. Javier. On Tue, Apr 28, 2015 at

I learned about the sidestand issue from experience. Mine came with a 650 front end (no idea how I missed that when I bought it) which lowered the bike about an inch. Parking was a pain with that. Over the years and several eBay auctions I've put the original 700S front end back on it. Honestly the

You can also let them set in a pan of warm/hot water Pryor to install. This makes them more pliable, expands them a little & the water left on the boots acts as a lubricant & will dry. Thank you, Ross -Original Message- From: "Paul" Sent: ‎4/‎28/‎2015 10:33 AM To: "Nighthawk Lovers"

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Nighthawk Seat Height

Good point Kyle. It can be done but you have to lower the forks an equal amount you reduce the shock length. It will still change the swingarm angle which affects grip under acceleration and how much the rear lifts or sinks. In a nutshell it negatively affects handling. Better to get boots with thi

I'm 5'9" and just fit on my 700S, 5'8" could probably still manage but shorter than that and you'll be balancing on one foot or the other. I agree that the Corbin seat is the only viable option.

I agree with Graham that the Corbin seat will give you cause you to sit a little lower and they are SUPER comfortable. Had one on my 1997 Honda Magna and it was incredible.
