] The road so far
So after about 100 miles under my belt now I'm loving it more and more. I
took my bike in to a shop as soon as I was road ready (meaning I got my
gear and it all registered, insured etc) and spent $200 for an oil change
(they had to retap the plug apparently it was stripped

The guy at the shop showed me on one. It was under 12 at idle and would break
even at 12 with anything past 2.5k rpms but wouldn't start charging even at 4k.
Gonna test the rectifier
Found people talking about engine guards to help protect the bike from
dropping damage. They mentioned this Part #08P51-MW3-100. Does that fit
most nighthawks? Do they actually help?

Gibby, before buying anything put a volt meter on your battery and check the
voltage with the bike running. A good battery will measure from 12.4 to 12.65
after sitting overnight without a load on (engine not running). With the engine
running the volts should go up as high as 14.2 at about 4k

Gonna test the rectifier and the stator ASAP to see if its only a problem with
one of them or both before I do anything.
