I'm rockin an 83 Nighthawk now. 7fitty. jetted, Kerker, lots of other goodies. super clean. JD told me I should rock on in here when I have questions, so... here I am!!

my first question:

my bike has the bars that are fairly straight, but still raised up slightly. i LOVE the old bars that turn down slightly...(i know it's bad for the wrists, but it's worth it) how much of a bitch is it to swap mine over? where to find the new parts?

thanks guys!

flat black .... mmmmmmm

clubmans and bar end mirrors can be had from dennis kirk. there are millions of other places that have them too. i guess it depends on whether you want some real italian and british stuff (on a nighthawk???) or just something that works the same. the problem with the hondas is the wiring. you could drill your own holes in the clubmans, or route them on the outside. the nice thing about dismantling it is that you can get rid of all off the shit you dont need. nuetral light indicator and other dunb stuff. what you'll also need to do is shorten your brake lines. if you look at some of the other tech posts, you'll see the brake line and switch questions i was posting.

cool, get some picks and lets see it when its done.
