You're the guy looking for forward controls and to bob your bike - correct? Your Nighthawk looks to be intact and carries its side covers - most are long gone. That bike can easily be brought back to concours condition, and given its rarity and that yours is in such nice shape, you should consider a swap to the much more plentiful C model. They are cheaper and with such a horde of them out there, bobbing one isn't thinning the herd as much as losing a 1983 750SC. They were scarce to start with and their survival rate hasn't been great.
I'm sure you can swap your SC and for a nice C and a good chunk of cash to start you on your bobber way.
I've got a 1983 that's going under the blade, but it was a basket case to start off. That's what I wanted so my conscience wouldn't bug me cutting one up.
