I'll drop in from time to time and share pix of my working bike with everyone. Let you see what they look like. LOL
I am really glad I found this forum. I have learned so much about fixing bikes from all of you. If it wasn't for this place, I would have never picked up the Nighthawk.
I used to just know how to ride. Now I know how to fix them also. I'm no expert, but I'll never have to pay shop prices for basic work again.

Yep. Meter it for continuity. One way you will get it, one way you won't. If you get it both ways, it's blown. It may not buzz the meter, but you will see a massive difference in the resistances.

I'd be scared to get pulled over these days. Have you seen all the videos recently of cops beating up helpless people?

Just give one or take one. Why burden it with a negative? This way to the casual observer, it's all good.

You can go on and on about it as far as I'm concerned. The guy called me up again and cut the price in half. How can I refuse?
I also downloaded the official Honda service manual for it today.
