Looking for recommendations on polishing/cleaning the exhaust pipes on my '84 "S". Mostly looking at the front end of the bike. They're not terrible but I saw...
Ok, That makes 2 of us that would love some advise on pipes. Mine look great for originals but do need a good polishing. I recently ordered some pipe...
Hi, I found that steel wool (in several grades, course, medium, fine) works wonders on the pipes. Be sure to use Gloves! I've actually been able to clean off...
Hey !! I'm new here, but a long time 700 'S' owner. Have had an RWB 86 one which I loved, and now have a 84, which I recent;y picked up. Just changed the...
Mine engages earlier, but on braking with full handpower, it reaches almost the handgrip. Can't compare with other Hawks but my Yamaha's lever doesn't come so...
... What is it you need specifically? I just parted one out for the Speedo I needed. I have left over 1 gear position indicator, 1 fuel gauge, and one tach...
I need a speedometer because the numbers are faded and the needle is broken. I need the clear plexiglass over the gauges because mine is broken. I might end...
Well you need all of the same pieces I do. If you make a custom plexiglass lens cover for the cluster, make a bunch of them many of out here have ones so...
Hi, I'm looking for a Greer full-fairing (upper & lowers) for an 84 (any condition). If anyone knows of one someone is willing to part with out there please...
Is this it? <http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=4641794857&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT> Don`t know anything about it, just...
Not that I can tell. I`m putting the carbs back on after the motor rebuild, did the head last night. Last day of vacation for me, I want to hear it run. ... ...
No Thom, but thanks anyway. The Greer fairings fit both Kawasaki GPZ's and Nighthawks. I found a source that makes new versions of it. Of course, mounting one...
Turn the key on and the headlight goes out like it should but starter doesn`t crank, relay doesn`t click. No noise at all. Jumped the starter relay and sparks...
Interesting... I removed the gear position switch, spun the pin around 180 degrees. Now I have neutral light and relay click. ... Tom Mutant VF1000R "Far...
Brushes are probably toast. Rebuild kit is about $45 and not too terribly difficult to do. Just pay very close attention on how it came apart. You can check...
Thanks for that. I`ll pull the starter apart tonight and have a look. ... Tom Mutant VF1000R "Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs,...
Took the starter apart and plenty of meat on all 4 brushes. I did clean all the black dust/goo out and lightly fine-sanded the commutator(400 grit). Sprayed it...
I don`t know if this is common knowledge but thought it was interesting to point out; I used the oil pump from a 1986 S in my rebuild. When I went to install...
Hi all. I was recently given this bike from a friend's father who is getting too old to ride anymore. He bought it new in 1985 and put 40,000 miles on it. The...
Nice gift! Obviously the suspension unit is leaking. I suppose a seal has failed. As those units can't be taken apart you'll have to find replacement(s). Jan ...
... fairing since you won't need it. ;) Seriously, it looks like it's in very nice shape considering the miles! Congratulations! Bike Barn online has a sale on...
I would like to replace both of the throttle cables on my '86 700s (see Rob's Silver S in pictures) but I'm experiencing some difficulty locating the...
Nice looking bike! It sounds like a seal has blown, though that's unlikely to happen just from taking it off the centerstand. I'd give it a once over, and if...
Have you tried www.servicehonda.com's microfiche/parts finder? I'm assuming they'd be similar to the current CB750 nighthawk cables at the very least if you...
Hey guys, Is bleeding the tappets really necessary when reassembling the head? All my valves look, work, and sound fine so I have no desire to measure their ...
