Goin home to the family this weekend like every weekend but this time it's on the NHS. I'm gonna test this old bike out today. This will be the longest ride ...
Matt, It's very easy, 2 bolts I think. I did this a year ago when I was trying to install a header I bought off of ebay. It was really easy. Don't bother with...
Thanks Dennis. I must have faith that sometimes it really is as easy as it looks. Anyone else ever have the centerstand break? Crack running along top of the...
I cannot find the proper size socket for an axle nut on a '98 Suzuki GSXR (owned by by son). I looked at a diagram on powersportspro and it lists the nut size...
... Tom, The 700S (as well as my Sabres and Magnas) uses a 27mm socket on the rear axle. As for the GSXR... I can't imagine too many folks here knowing this....
Tom Most every bike I've owned has a axle wrench in the tool kit that comes with the bike. At worst you could have a bike parts place look it up on the Micro...
Thanks guys for the input. The reason I'm trying to find a socket is so I can tighten the axle nuts on the bikes with a torque wrench. I used a crescent...
Try NAPA for you socket. I have 2 big metrics form them, a 34mm and a 36mm. They are 3/4 drive so you may have to buy an adaptor too. The numbers you have...
Hey folks, I need a set of headers. Any after-market 'cept MAC will do. MAC pipes are OK but the baffles tend to blow out too fast. Good if you want loud,...
Thanks a bunch Robert for the tip, I'll check NAPA today. It is a '98 GSXR 600. When I loosened the axle nut on that bike to adjust the chain I had to use a...
Reminds me of the cheapness of included kits. Overtorquing previous owner combined with my naive determination broke the axel wrench that came with my kit (and...
Around 1999 a friend of mine told me all about the 700s when I asked him what the "most dependable bike" he could think of was. I looked up info on the...
Well, my 425 mile trip to the coast of Texas didn't go so well. I had the strangest thing happen. I'd been on IH35 south running about 75- 80. Stopped about...
Hey everybody! I keep losing this post by accidentally pressing my 'back' button, so I'll keep this short... I bought my 1985 CB750SC Nighthawk S about 2...
Just in case anybody finds this interesting, here's a page I set up showing off my homemade dry-box Panniers. They work great and they were cheap. Check 'em...
Excellent work... this has me thinking about doing it myself. I -had- official nighthawk S soft bags, but my puppy needed something to chew and managed to...

DAG - Already in the works is a rear rack and lockable/removeable helmet trunk. Pics will be posted when project is complete. Rack is being made right now....
That really looks cool. Makes me feel a bit silly. I have GIVIs, which I like (36L side and recent 45L top case which does hold a full face Arai XL size. I...
What kind of oil is in the bike? If you put in an automotive type oil you may have saturated you clutch with friction modifiers, causing it to slip. That and...
Matt,do you have pictures of the Givi set up?Could you send me more info.My GF wants to use the NH instead of the Concours and sidecar because of the...
The clutch is not slipping at all. The issue definately had to do with either the master or slave cylinder or lines in between. There was no resistance to the...
Givis are too expensive! Check out part #ZX013068T at JC Whitney Motorcycle. They look like Givis, but they are only $60each. Mount them like saddlebags...
That kind of narrows it down then. It is either fliud leaking past the master cylinder piston or slave cylinder piston, an air bubble in the slave cylinder...
Went to pull the battery on my 86 NH to check fluid and put a charge on it.All 3 bolts holding the cover for the battery ust spun? Not one would come free.I...
Hey Ripper, I noticed the cover photo today, and laughed at my old picture. That was taken the very week I got my 700S. I tossed another one up that was taken...
