Here is my 92 Nighthawk. I am still working on doing some personal changes. I am going to give convicts fly screen a try. Me and a buddy are leaving in Sept to do our annual
Blue Ridge ride. This year we are going from The Dragons Tail to Pigeon Forge from these over to just NE of Asheville and hit the Blue to Boone and then to Waynesville NC. This is going to be a three day trip.  Enjoy the pics and give me your thoughts.  biker_h4h1

That is a sweet looking 750, the low bars really give a clean slick look. Like JB said, curious about the bars.

Just one thought.  Welcome to the group and I wish I was going on that ride - it sounds like a blast.

Thanks guys. The bars are Pro Taper (carmichael bend)
mx bars. My bud came up with the idea on his zephyr. It looks good and I love the ridding position. If you
use them you will need to change the mounts.

Nope not cable length problems. The thingy above the carb is a filter. I had removed the oil catcher thing ( not real sure what you call it) from the bottom of the airbox and used the filter to vent the crank case. I removed it and reinstalled the box under the airbox, only because I didn't really see and better performance and got tired of the fumes I got sitting in traffic.

Does pro taper make mounts for the hawks or did you have to modify something else to fit?

If the chain snaps, is that a safety issue?
