Confirmed. Guess I could have looked more closely at the calipers because the size is cast into the caliper. 30mm on the right and 3mm on the left. Guess someone made the swap somewhere along the way. On Thursday, February 15, 2018 at 6:01:48 PM UTC-6, 9533...@gmail.com wrote: > > 85 CB650SC

[Nighthawk Lovers] CB650SC Grips

Done some looking but not having any luck finding source for grips on the 1985 650. Any suggestions? I'd like to replace the ugly fat chopper style grips someone put on with as close to OEM as I can get. Thanks! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups

[Nighthawk Lovers] Cleaning and Blasting Master Cylinders

Been a while since I posted but am beginning a winter rebuild of the brake system on my 85 CB650SC. I knew the system was in rough shape and needed to be refreshed but kept putting it off until one of the front calipers started locking up. As soon as I started digging into it I realized I

I know this reply is a little late but I always remove the rear tire to get the airbox off. On Thursday, October 19, 2017 at 5:34:21 PM UTC-5, Raymond Gomez wrote: > > Hello all, > > The 1983 cb650sc is ready for winter work! > > So I have a few questions I hope you can answer. > > 1) Can the

Looks like a home-brewed grounding strap. If so I'm wondering why the previous owner felt that was needed? Any electrical issues? On Wednesday, July 20, 2016 at 6:04:10 PM UTC-5, Blake Manwiller wrote: > > Hello; so i purchased a nighthawk and I'm not terrible mechanically sound > so bare

[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Cant keep it running

Sounds like I have a similar problem on my 85 CB560SC NH. I'm pretty confident the carbs are good but am wondering about the air leaks mentioned. Could leaks at the airbox have that much of an effect? Thanks! Steve On Friday, April 8, 2016 at 12:03:06 PM UTC-5, Tom La Fleur wrote: > > Hey

[Nighthawk Lovers] Replacement Plug Wires?

So I bought new 7mm wire and NGK caps to replace the ones on my 85 CB650SC b/c the insulating rubber on at least two of the caps were cracked and torn. Any tips to getting the new wire onto the coils? I know the OEM wires were designed to slip over the electrode in the coil and I guess I
