Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Coast-to-Coast trip

Glad you liked them George. I was fun to share the experiences and also helps to sort of keep a journal of all the places visited (after a few days everything starts to blend a bit). I want to write a little something called "things I learned". Hopefully I will find the time once I am settle in.

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Stuck bolt

I have tried just about everything, and I am finally going to give up and take it to my mechanic to see what magic he can do to it. It's starting to get dark and wet up here in Seattle, so I'm hoping he can get it out quicker than I have been able. Which raises a second question... Just in

If the seals aren't torn or worn you can run a piece of plastic around the forks and clean the grit and dirt out. Check out 'seal ate' to see what I'm talkin about. Old 35 mm film will work just as well On Sunday, October 2, 2016, Tommy Hill wrote: > I got mine pretty

I got mine pretty smooth. I think it cut the old new seals and caused the leak. We will see if they hold. Good to know about $200/pair. Not as bad as I was afraid. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group. To

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] 1985 CB650SC Nighthawk front forks

Thank you all. I googled and found out that I can sand them down. I did that and got the burrs off and polished it back up. I will give that a try and see how it works red leaking. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!"

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] 1985 CB650SC Nighthawk front forks

I bought a pair from frank when I did my 650. A perfect match, very high quality, not cheap around $200 or so if I remember right. On Sun, Oct 2, 2016 at 10:38 AM, Tommy Hill wrote: > Ok, rebuilding mine and they are scratched pretty bad. I am looking for > some forks that

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] 1985 CB650SC Nighthawk front forks

They aren't stainless, they're hard chrome plated. You could try to have yours reconditioned, or you can source some replacements. I've heard good things about a company called "Forking by Frank" http://www.frankmain.qpg.com/ I believe Racetech also offers some in the right size. I plan on

Ok, rebuilding mine and they are scratched pretty bad. I am looking for some forks that have no rust or scratches on the tubes. All my other parts are fine, just need the stainless tubes. Anyone? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk
