I recently traded a pit bike for this Nighthawk. Since I only had $100 into the pit bike, I essentially got this for that much. The guy I got it from had gotten it on trade, and knew pretty much nothing about it, except that it cranked over fine. Not horribly promising, but for such a low price I figured why not. As far as I know, it has sat in a field for at least 5 months. Here are some pictures from when I got it.
Just under 12k original miles.
Problems it came with:
-Didn't run
-Smashed right side mirror
-One emblem falling off
-No brake fluid/brakes
-No title
First thing I did was remove and clean the four carburetors. In the process I found there was no air filter in the dirty airbox. I put the carbs back on the bike and cranked it over. Still nothing. I decided to take off the gas tank and flush out the rust-colored gas. Also found a clogged fuel line. Replaced that and the bike started right up, but there is a steady flow of gas out of the overflow tubes. More updates to come soon.
