I've got some new vinyl for the seat and bought some paint. I'm gonna try to pretty her up a little... I'll have to stop calling her bugar though... :( lol...
My bike was / is pretty beat up. So I bought some paint and gave it a fresh new look. The best part is that it's no longer stock red! It's now a custom green!...
Don't know if this site was ever mentioned before, but I read about it in another forum. (features cheap but well made chain breakers and riveters among...
... - If enamel or mystery paint, wet-sand that stuff off with 400 grit wet/dry paper. Let the tank dry thoroughly. - Wipe down with a tack rag and spray with...
Hey gang, It's been a long winter and not over yet in NE Oregon. I'm anxious to get my Nighthawk out of the shed but it's still snowing. Anyway I have a...
... Being a cruiser, I imagine the Virago has a little more low-range power, much like our Rebel sibling. You'll probably need to rev the Nighthawk out more...
well crap! I just bought some enamel to do the job. I guess I'll just practice with it and re-do the paint job right down the road (no money left to buy...
Perhaps a silly question..... Riding a few hundred miles (with stops) Going about 65-70 mph most of the time will be ok on the Nighthawk? It is a 2008 with...
Do a search on the previous posts and you'll find that many of us have gone for days on end at Wide Open Throttle on long rides, where one had to get somewhere...
In Re "Nickle Night" You have to remember that Serp's memories go back to the early 1900's, when a nickle was worth a dollar, and a dollar would buy a new...
... Sue, the Nighthawk will keep up with the Virago, but as Ryan said you'll need to keeps the revs on the boil. Wind it up before shifting, and downshift...
Actually I will ride most of it on Route 66 at about 60 to 65mph. I am glad it can take it. I have owned several motorcycles from a BMW 900 to a 125 Scooter...

... Wide open on level ground without a tail wind will produce 80mph, and that is short of redline rpm. Dropping down to 4th would wind to redline at 70mph. ...
John, we should meet up sometime. I'm in Weatherford. I'm always up for trading bikes for a bit if you want to try an old 250 Ninja, but that's not a...
... if you bought it used i would check the sprockets first to see if they are stock or if someone changed them to get better miles per gallon in the city...
It's the first one I've seen advertised for sale. Essentially, a Yamaha Morphous on steroids. http://tinyurl.com/c27l2l I wouldn't want to have to work on this...
... Hi Sue, you need SidecarKenn's performance carburator... Although I haven't checked the gas mileage since it's been installed (I'll do so when I go on a...
Drop one tooth in back or add one? wouldn't drop = less mph more revs? and add = more mph less revs? I don't know, thats why I'm asking. I'll look in the...
This could be a debate as far as safe and shortened life of engine. You won't find an engineer or professional mechanic that sill support the statement that...
... It's installed, but between a trip over spring break and the weather, I haven't been on the bike much. All of the riding has been in town. I do feel like...
