Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Five Years Ago Today....

I think I joined on March 2009, the night before buying my 96 NH750, my first bike ever. I think the people in this forum convinced me to make the move. I can't find my first email though. The google groups interface is not very friendly on doing that. It used to be that you could see a whole

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

They should have two Tommy, but the throttle cables for the 700s are hard to find. You can use the ones for the 650 but I think they are a bit shorter. Javier. On Sat, Apr 25, 2015 at 10:44 PM, Tommy Hill ominbo...@gmail.com wrote: I just discovered that mine only has one throttle cable! My

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: 1983 cb650sc fork spring replacement

Allen, why the need to cut the springs? if you want more tension just make the spacer longer with the spring as it. As for springs goes, I have replaced those in my nighhawk and on the cbr1000f with progressive. They are longer so the diving at brake is reduced, and they feel much better over all.
