I just picked this sweetie pie up on Saturday. I love it so far and I'm sure the love won't fade  It didn't idle very well right away but my dad and I went through the carbs and put some fresh gas in and has been running great since. I was looking at other 700s bikes in my area but when I saw this I had to have it, a little more money but a lot less miles than the others - 5,194 miles currently. Anyways, I'm excited to be a part of this forum and the Nighthawk family! |

Nice RWB 700s.
Welcome to the group, ride safe.
Where do you call home?
What's that with wire wheels under the cover?

Thanks everyone! I'm from Southern MN. It's been pretty cold and rainy lately which is a bummer. The thing under the cover is my dad's 1934 Ford 5-window coupe.

 That's more than a good deal. More like theft. Then again, Nighthawk prices don't get much higher than that. Most Nighthawk's aren't in that condition though.

Welcome to the forum, by the looks of that beauty you will only be posting ride reports. Great bunch of guys here with a wealth of knowledge if you do ever run into a problem. I'm on the hunt for a RWB......... Beautiful.
Might want to change out the grips.

Awesome! That is so clean. I also spy a pair of the super cool OEM engine guards. I love the look of mine. :D

+1 You might find that the stock grips have a better feel then those aftermarket grips you have on it now. I know I prefer thinner grips that I can easily wrap my hand around. As apposed to the fatter grips. |
