Hi Just signed up on here  Brought an old 1982 Nighthawk 650 recentley needs loads doing to it but still theres no rush. Need a little help on a few things but will save that for latter. Quick question however .. i have no key for the helmet lock and need to remove the rails. Any ideas folks besides drilling the lock out ?  Great message board .. Thanks. |

Hi! I have the same bike as you and the key you have to start the bike is also the same key that works the helmet lock. Welcome to the forum  |

Welcome aboard. You need to gather up the other Europeans and have a Nighthawk Rally.  Good luck with the restoration. I just finished with an 83 650. |

Hi! I have the same bike as you and the key you have to start the bike is also the same key that works the helmet lock. Welcome to the forum Unless the ignition switch has been replaced at some time. Your solution is so simple, but a lot of hassle. Remove the steering lock on bike, they came with the same key for this and seat lock in the old 1970s bikes. on the 1980s bikes use a wire brush on the seatlock key slot and you might be able to see a number; go to a Honda dealer and order a pair of keys. |

to the forum! If you can't get the helmet lock sorted our just get yourself a good cable lock and run it through the chinbar of the helmet.
