Long time rider.
Don from Spring Valley AZ, been riding 46 years...so far  happy1 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. coollaugh

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?

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!!
