Hello. I'm new to this forum and wanted to share my new project, a 1982 Honda Nighthawk 450. Alf is my copilot.  I have been riding since 2003. My last bikes were all Suzuki's (GS500, Bandit 600 & SV650). They all have been sold and I bought this bike a couple of years ago to help out a widow. It has been sitting in my garage and I'm excited to get going. I'm sure I'll be chiming in to get some advice. Thanks for reading. JAG |

Thanks for the welcomes. First on my list is to change all the fluids, check the battery and air filter, replace the tires and spark plugs, buy a new chain and brake pads, and hope that it runs. Once that is done, I plan to get a little creative.
Anyone have an extra left rear amber turn signal lens they want to sell?

I have the ones off of mine. I have bought new turn signals so, if you want these I will be glad to send them to you.

Alf is my copilot.
Keeps the cats from climbing on your bike too. |
