Well, thank to the kerker System I bought from Abe here on the list, I fired up the bike last night with the new pipe. Ahhh The sound of an Indy car onnce...
"Sounds" great, Richard ;-) I know a lot of guys like the sound of the stock set-up, as do I, which I've been told was "right on the (EPA's noise) limit" back...
Well, you could expect some gain in power. Could you produce brand and type of those pod foam filters? They might be candidate some day to replace my K&N's if...
I bought a 85 700S as a learning to ride bike. I got it for $700 in Oakland ,CA. (the price is ironic don't you think). The engine ran when a battery was...
Congrats on the new bike! It's a great ride. I like the price. I don't know if ebay and cragslist are the best or not, but ebay is certainly a decent place to...
I was wondering if it is possible to find out if the engine in the bike is the engine that came with it?? Is there a place on the web where you can cross your...
Your third year of riding is the most dangerous, statistically. Your first year is rough, you may tip it over. The second year you start to get the hang of ...
I'm thinking about replacing my stock bars with something that would lower the grip height 3 inches or so. Has anyone here got a recommendation for a good...
Hi, I live near Columbia, Missouri. I bought a bigger Honda motorcycle last year and no longer need my Nighthawk. I have owned the bike for over 6 years and...
... Interesting. You're selling your Nighthawk yet we have no way to contact you. You might want to change your subscription to yahoogroups so as to ...
I wish I had the grand to buy your bike. I'd love to have a second one, and I live in Saint Louis. I'm sure you'll have no trouble finding a taker. ... ...
I was having problems securing my Nuvi 350 to my windshield.It would stick sometimes and sometimes it would fall off in midst of driving (not a good thing)...
I've got a chrome K&G rack for sale. I'm looking for $50, plus shipping. It does not have the sliding mounts that attach to the shock bolts, but I have a...
How come on some 84's the exhaust is straight black, and then on others it's like a black/chrome? I've recently bought a 700s and the exhaust is way shinier...
Well I finally got all the parts to the kit I put together. I wanted to retain the three hose system our bikes have in place now, and did not want to go with...
Hey, Gary. I could make a few guesses, but I doubt they're better than anything you've already considered. 1. Maybe it's not the stock paint job and finish;...
Hi, all. Many moons ago in a thread in the nighthawk group regarding someone's fuel leak problem, a poster stated the following: "Make sure it's your float...
Hello Natrix, I can't say how your bike would function with your exhaust and stock jets. However, I experienced leaking bowl gaskets myself. It's difficult to...
Could be the float valves. There are little spring-loaded pieces on the valve as I recall, and they do wear out, especially after 22+ years. Could be that is...
It isn't hard to pull the carbs to swap out, so I wouldn't bother with trying to repair in place. As for how it will run with stock jets, don't try and find...
Hi, I live near Columbia, Missouri. I bought a bigger Honda motorcycle last year and no longer need my Nighthawk. I have owned the bike for over 6 years and...
Thanks a ton, guys! All great tips and advice and info. I will keep it all in mind as I proceed. I appreciate your help. I put some Seafoam in the tank today...
I'll definitely vouch for the increase in power with the 4-1 header. My best friend & I both have 84's . . . mine w/ stock pipes & his has a Vance & Hines 4-1,...

Does anyone make an engine stand for MC motors? I have a desire to rebuild the motor on my spare '84. Nothing wrong with the motor...just a project ......
Garage floor worked for me :) A clean work bench would work just fine. ... ____________________________________________________________________________________...
I'm not sure if you've already begun pulling the engine, but it's a lot more difficult than it sounds. I just pulled the engine from my '84 by myself and it...
