Honda Nighthawk CB750

http://www.youtube.com/user/starzship
I ride the 1992 Nighthawk to work almost daily; a dependable workhorse with a sport attitude. Air cooled 750cc inline-four cylinder engine, DOHC; self-adjusting four valves per cylinder, Carburetion: Four 34mm CV, Ignition: Solid-state, Max Power: 67.7 HP @ 8350 RPM, Max Torque: 45.6 ft/Lbs @ 6800 RPM, Transmission: Five-speed, automatic cam-chain adjuster, aluminum oil cooler, double-cradle frame, single disk front and drum rear brake, chain drive and beefy 41mm fork tubes. Modified 4-into-2 pipes. The riding position is upright and slightly leaning forward and spacious enough for two. Purchased off Ebay for $1500 with about 35,000 miles on it in 2004. Seller lived within driving distance, so I drove to his place to check out the bike. It had ding on the gas tank, crack in tail light lens and few scratches, and needed a carb overhaul. Added modulating headlight, a different halogen headlamp, incrementally flashing brake lights, rear LED turn signals, Kurakyn LED ampmeter, extra side marker lights, red LED lights below license plate, reflective stickers and the skull stickers, metal skull designs and the resin skull above the license plate. I placed the license plate lower so I could mount the resin skull under the tail light. I plan to have the Skull eyes light up red. The Corbin seat was another Ebay purchase; I saved over $150 on that. The bike is dirty, I should have washed & waxed it before making this video, but its my workhorse. -Enjoy the video. Ride on!!!

louder pipes wont help you either man...i have a 14 inch titanium rod and 4 screws in my leg to remind me of this...lighting works better. flashing led lights on the back hooked up to tail light and led lights facing foward out for stopped intersection cars...so far so good. look at the tim hodge sprocket mod too...worked great for my nighthawk...not lookin for that sixth gear on the highway anymore if ya know what i mean......kev.

@atcred3 I agree. More lighting the better. I had pulsing head lights before, but not anymore, removed them. I have flashing brake lights. Sorry to hear about your accident.

[atcred3]

thats not what i meant when i said why..i meant just cut the baffle pipe...put new rivets in and it will look stock without trashin the pipes...just look up..."tim hodge exhaust mod" on google..i did it to mine...works great with the number 4 washers in the carbs...trust me.

@atcred3 Ok. I see. cool.

[atcred3]

awwww man ...you trashed the pipes with the holes....WHY???!!!

[starzship]

@atcred3 to make it louder, so cars will know I'm around. The stock pipe without the holes are TOO QUIET for me. I want to make some noise to help from being hit by cars. I know, I shoulda bought aftermarket pipes, which, after all these years, I still might. But then I need to re-jet the carbs too. But for the meantime....
