I'm with you shaube. I hate for my bike to scream when I'm just cruising. Did you ever change your final drive gear ratio? I'm going to change mine before summer gets here that is for sure. I have read one more tooth up front is about the same as 4 less in the rear. I think I'll add one up front...

As it turns out the the crash bars / Engine Guards / Highway Bars that I purchased are made in Viet Nam and are made of Stainless Steel. The quality isn't bad and they don't rust so I believe the guy when he told me they were SS. I did pay the $140.00 (kinda high) and I think I got my monies...

Not really sure what you mean bigbyrd. Of course the front sprocket (counter sprocket) is smaller than the rear sprocket. I'm sure the engineers do believe that the stock set up is the best all around set up for everyday riding. Since I don't like my motor spinning at high RPMs when I travel I...

So I found out it is not backward threaded. It's a lock nut on the backside of a threaded mount. Must have been 100 ft. lbs. of torque on that nut and bolt. I'm going to replace the nut because I did so much damage to it. Kickstand is looking good after first coat.

I would like to paint my side stand on my 02 Nighthawk but I can't get the damn thing off. Is the nut on the under side backward threaded. If not that thing is on so tight that my wrench is going to round it off. I can get a 6 point socket on it but not a rachet or breaker bar because the bottom...

Right in front of the shifter on my 02 there is a plug covering a hole and it reads right on top of that plug, "DON'T OPEN". Well, as men we all want to open it. What is under there? Thanks Tom

Thanks Dave, that sure did help and amc49 that's what I'm afraid of . Those Chinese crash bars I find on ebay can be had for less that $30.00. I don't mind paying the big bucks for quality if that is what it takes. I did find some at motorcycleseatsdirect.com but they want $140.00 for a pair...

I'm looking for a decent pair of crash bars. The absolutely only ones I can find are on ebay from China. Has anyone tried them and are they any good?

Found what I was looking for. Saw a couple that were really great but either out of range (money) or no longer available. Thanks amc49. Not really sure what that stands for? God only knows mine (docjones) is a nick name I've had for more than 40 years. I have purchased from Dennis Kirk...

for the mufflers/exhaust? You guys should know what I'm talking about. Honda used it to paint the bottom parts of the exhaust and around mounting points. I've seen black exhaust paint but never silver. I'm thinking about buying a brand new set of muffler/exhaust system for my CB750. Anyone want...

Thanks Guru, I'll give them a try.

Can anyone point me in some direction? I have an 02 Nighthawk. I see screens on these all the time but can't locate any. Thanks in advance. Tom

Finally got a really sweet 02. 13,500 miles, new tires and the bike runs great. Not to brag but I only paid $2000.00 I looked all over the Southeast for 4 months.

Hey, I think I know you. Did you get that black 02?

I'm sad to say we did not. My two girls and I drove 3 hours one way to check out a Honda Silver Wing for me. The Nighthawk was for my daughter but the owner was working so he couldn't show it. The nighthawk was kinda last minute but it was in the same little town. The Silver Wing was a bust...

Well CactusCat that's to bad. This might be a rush buy for me but I'll do all I can to make sure it's a good one. I don't have to buy it but my daughter would be thrilled. We also have a distance problem but we were are driving down to the same city to get me a very nice used Honda Silver Wing...

Hello CactusCat, did you buy that 99 Nighthawk? I'm looking to buy a 98 here in Florida. As we can see no one has replied to you so we both might be stuck out in the cold. From what I've read so make sure it start easily hot or cold. Idles well with out the choke on. Runs great through all the...

I'm going to check out a 98 with 17500 miles. Anything I should be looking for? Bad valve cover gaskets, front wheel bearings, anything? I've been around the block but the only thing I know to check out is the inside of the gas tank. Any and all help will be appreciated. thanks tom
