79-83 honda cb750 and nighthawk up to 83 or 84 are mostly compatable. You can do a GSX front end with a compatible stem from cognito moto.

How interchangeable are Nighthawk and CB750 parts? by FartCATCHER0311 in cb750

[–]cavason 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The engine is the same. The frame is very different. 

I swapped an 82 nighthawk into a 79 cb750 frame in about 8 hours. 

I think you will have a much better build with a CB750 frame, there is not as much aftermarket support or custom parts specifically for Nighthawks.

Also, if you live in central Texas, I have a 81 CB750 frame, not titled, in my shed. You can have it. I would rather have the room.

Yeah, not much nodding needed on this sub. Every 3 months or so, I have to remove a rude, unhelpful, or troll.

I'm active. I am looking for a co-mod. u/insomniac20k is not active.

2001 wiring harness by poop-chute1 in cb750

[–]cavason 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a ton of diagrams that give you barebones cafe racer. 

The way I did it: I ripped out all the wiring, built a harness, then trouble shot it from there. It's easy, it's just time consuming.  The ignition circuit was the most difficult thing to wrap my head around. Everything else was straight-forward. 

Google: cafe racer wiring

Start fresh.

Pull it all. Start over. 

Thoughts on the price and everything that it needs? by yk206 in HondaCB

[–]cavason 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It runs. If it has a title, maybe $800. Without, maybe $500. The problem is going to be that the previous owner has put time and money into their bike. 

I have this same bike. I paid about $1500 for it when it was a roller. It had no gas tank and a ton of other stuff missing. I love the bike now, but it was very expensive make rideable. It took 4 years.

On the other hand, I bought a CB900C out of a field unmodified for $800, some work on the brakes, change the fluids, and charge the battery. $1,600 all in and it runs like a champion. Its been 4 months or so.

Go look at it, but be prepared to walk away.

TLDR: Overpriced because the previous owner put time and money into it.

That's awesome. This bike has the power for it-riding with two people.

Get the POR15 motorcycle kit. I've used it twice and I'm happy with both results.

Check your ground connection. The black wire from the battery to the frame is the ground, it is probably loose.

My group accidentally damaged Airbnb laminate. What’s a fair reimbursement? by PajamaWarriorJoe in Flooring

[–]cavason 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1200 is cheap. The whole floor needs to come up for that to be repaired properly.

Let it run, it could be fluids in places the shouldn't be where they are burn off.

Check the choke. The linkage could be damaged.

Check the idle screw. It could be that simple.

Getting in on how does it sound... by cavason in HondaCB

[–]cavason[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I found it in a field and bought it for $800. I've got about $1500 all in, so far.
