Here's my Nighthawk.  It's a 92 that I found with 3.5k miles last year.  I put the shield on it, replaced the rear shocks, and gave it a good service.

Nice bike ssls6.  With only 3.5k did the NH have any carb/fuel system problems?  Looks like you got a great deal.

I don't know who made the fairing.  I bought the fairing from craigslist sight unseen.  I bought the bike to take to CA.  I work in San Jose but live in TX (fly weekly).  It now has 7.5k most coming from the trip out.  The bike did have and still has some carb issues.  I did not take the carbs apart but I did bypass the tank and run the bowls full of sea foam.  After letting that soak for a week, I flushed the bowls again.  I balanced all cylinders during my service but the bike still has a off-idle stumble.  All in all, it runs fine.  The new shocks on the rear made a huge difference in ride.

Thanks,
Richard

3.5K miles in 15 years, that is so sad musicboohoo.  That's an average of under 240 miles a year, which can be done in one nice day.  The previous owner put hard bags and an aftermarket saddle on and barely rode it.  So sad.

Looks really nice, and I'm glad to see she went to a good home that will play with her biker_h4h1

I have a similar fairing, and I think it gives it a unique look. Thanks for sharing.

And welcome!

The next change I'm going to make is fork gators.  I may have corbin recover the seat (they made it) with less of a step down for the rider (I'm 6'3").  Corbin is right out here close to me.

Why do they say that?  Look it up in the dictionary; goggles is next to godliness, cleanliness is next to claustrophobia and cleavage.
