... Can you tell me (us) a little more about this? Is it still running and starting OK, and if so, what are the symptoms that let you know the alternator chain...
Jon, It all depends on the quality you desire. I'm sure the the JC Whitney covers will work, but they won't look or function like the one's that Sargent...
Heck, by this time I figured you all would be know it all's on old iron. I just applied what I learned over the years from cars and a lot of tinkering! My shop...
Have you tried opening the drain on #1 carb and see what comes out? It might have a little crud left over from the rebuild. That fixed a 1 lunger I'd been...

My old 750's seat I bought from JapJunk in Kzoo looked like Franky's face with all the non-professional sewing I did to get the thing on the road. I used glue...
I guess that's why our course was only $25(?), I don't remember the part about taking off fast after the extreme stop though, but we were taught to be in 1st...
The '80 carbs I know the 650 Nighthawks were CV types as you said yours were (by saying you replaced the diaphragms). Those models look more like the CB/CL450...
I'm sure my son would enjoy the ride since his girl friend lives in Pickney. The date is? Ron, That's the issue! Finding a date. I suspect that there are a few...
I have a lower fork brace/steering stem from an ebay auction I won. I masked off everything that wasn't painted black and took it into work to be sand blasted...
Knowing that you've tried 3 sets of carbs I'd say it is safe to assume the problem doesn't lie with the carbs, maybe the O rings on the head side are shot...
Three questions for my 1983 CB650SC. I went down last week and damaged one aluminum cover. Its on the right side at the front and I crushed it in one...

First of all, your rear signals are working properly. They are not supposed to act as running lights like the front signals. Second, the headlight has a...
... There is no such thing. This is called crashing, plain and simple. There is almost no circumstance in which a panic induced lowside will help to avoid a...
Heya Doc, Looks good man. dang! you really did lower those forks! I was looking at the pic and something besides the lites didn't look, 'normal'. You go...
dude, take the old seat off. Throw it away. wrap a four pound piece of prickly pear cactus with 30 grit sandpaper and duct tape. Tape this to the bike where...
Would it be ok if I attended? I sold my nighthawk about 1 month ago and bought a new bike. Not to mention that I love to ride through that area. I dont post...

I'm sure the more the merrier, as they say. My son's "new" bike is a '94 SECA 2 and is always looking for someone to ride with. I know what you mean about that...
Too bad they don't do that with normal drivers licenses, marrige licenses, baby licenses, etc. There'd be a lot less news to report each night! We have to take...
