Long time rider. Don from Spring Valley AZ, been riding 46 years...so far  Here's my NH:  I also have a '79 GL1000 with a sidecar and a utility body. It has a UNIT leading link fork and a singe carb conversion. Wearing DS rubber for those gravel./mud road excursions. I have a question for y'all. Looking at an AU website, there's something listed that fits a "CB750 F2N". Is that the same as my 1991 CB750 Nighthawk? EDIT: I got the part numbers for the fuel tank and the air filter. They are the same according to a US and a UK parts list. Hey, I ride an F2N!!!

Nice bike. How long have you had it? Did you do the blue stripe yourself? Looks like you've got some bells & whistles on there. What all do you have?

The CB looks good with SWR of 1.3 (40) to 1.7(1). Using a 3' Firestik NGP w/17' matched coax. The control unit on the left side handlebar  -------  The CB radio lives in the Givi

Welcome! I saw "Honda CB Radio System" and the first thing I thought was "Hmmm. . .they make a radio just for the Honda CBs?" Took about 5 seconds to realize it was a CB radio.  Looks like a nice setup.

I like it, very cool. Did the Stebel horn still fit? I'm assuming it's the compact air horn. I've got a Maier Sport Fairing and I can't seem to get it to fit. Or did you mount the horn somewhere else? Tim

Or did you mount the horn somewhere else? Tim The Stebel (compct air) will go on the frame downtube. In fact today I may ride into town (30mi) and pick up a relay. 3:20pm.. The horn is on and sounding very LOUD! Plugged stock horn wires into relay, ran 12ga from sw batt and ground. YES!!
