    2000 Honda Nighthawk 750-First project brat/cafe

    Well thank you. I ended up drilling a hole a few inches in front of the existing mounts and fed a piece of threaded rod through, then bolted it on. The rubber tank mount things fit on it pretty well and the tank fit on those!

    After After tinkering with my carbs for way too long I went up a size on pilot and main jets and now it runs great. I'm done with all the major tasks but I'll be doing tons of minor detail work over the next while but for now I'm enjoying finally getting back on the road and romping all the...

    I upholstered the seat and it looks alright but I think I can do it better. I'll probably try it again.

    2000 Honda Nighthawk 750-First project brat/cafe

    After weeks and weeks of searching I found a '78 CX500 tank on ebay. It ended up costing about $170(Ouch, I know). It fits somewhat well, but I'm going to need to cut off the front mounting studs on the frame and weld them further up so the rear tank mounts line up. It looks kinda funny in its...
