This is my 1993 Nighthawk 750 in the Candy Tehetian Blue. Like a lot of people I make this my own but all the mods I have done are more bolt-on than anything I have not and will not touch the frame or do any kind of chopping to this (to those who are against chopping these awsome bikes smiler ). My modifications are...Vortex Handlebars(41mm fork tube mount/mounted under the top clamp), National Cycle F-18 double bubble windscreen(mounted to headlight mount), Stock mirrors and front blinkers mounted to the windscreen(near the base above the headlight mount), Stock rear blinkers with the stalks cut off and mounted under the tail light(above the plate), Stock seat has half the (stock) foam cut out on the drivers area(rear passenger is stock height) and recovered with vinyl seat covering(dont judge im only 5'7"), painted blue rims, Stock front brake caliper and lever with the hose rerouted behind the headlight, and Fly Racing grips(ends cut cause they were just a hair too long they are for a dirt bike). And yes i still have the stock bars and bar mounts for this too. I am hoping to get a steering stablizer mounted on this at some point, and either buy a MAC exhaust or modify the current one for just a bit more bark so people know where i am on the streets(in town). Just to clarify that i am not trying to make this bike look like a sport bike or cafe racer i have only done what i set out to do and thats to make it me and make it mine. Reason for the handlebars is i grew up on dirt bikes always riding in the Rider Attack Position(R.A.P) and being hunched over is the most comfortable riding position for me. Well im gonna stop writin a novel and lemme know what you think.

You don't need to make any excuses for your bike; ride that motorcycle! You seem to have done your homework and you know the ramifications and work involved in cutting on it, so you've opted to make it simply fit you better and run the way it was designed to run. Good for you, your path to "make it mine" was an easy one! We should all be so lucky...

ride well, it looks like one sweet scoot to me!

well to be honest i dont know much about whats involved in cutting it but personally i dont want to for i love the feel of the stock frame and dont wanna pay someone to weld my bike back together. I prefer more of the bolt on modifications just so that its eaiser and its still recognizable plus its not as permanent if there is something that i may decide i dont like or want to change. plus the handling of these bikes is pretty damn good so why risk changing that. and thanks for the compliment.
