First bike first project.. my 91 honda nighthawk cafe project

[CentexHawk]

Yeah they are pretty sweet. Had to go between 2 different auto parts stores to find a pair

 

[rocketritch]

those air filters make it look like it has some jet fighter engine influence, I dig

Those do look pretty cool.
What brand are they?

 

[CentexHawk]

They are spectre filters

Did some adjustment to the air fuel mixture screws on the carbs and got the bike running better. Checked out some paint colors as well

I ended up getting the header from a fellow Nighthwak-forums member, im digggin that other 91 build its looking good too. that will be my next project, some kind of bratstyle for my girlfriend to ride.

Got some work done and gave her some fresh paint.

all that is left now is to button some things up replace some cables, give my seat some contour where it meets the tank. take it in a bit.

Moving to colorado springs in the next month, any fellow forum members in the area?

oh the reason the seat seems a bit longer on the hump is because it is reinforced for a passenger, getting new seat cushions made so that the passengers is removable. do not know if i have mentioned that yet

Wtt my clip ons for motocross bars, going more scrambler

I like what you've done so far on the bike... I honestly couldn't see something like a '91 nighthawk be such a nice cafe racer, congrats.

Thank you, I'm still working out a few kinks, modifying my gauges to sit more flush, and going to give my seat some more contour towards the tank base. Smaller battery under seat. But as it sits it cruises. Not gunna do rearsets though because I carry a passenger sometimes. Seat cushion and thinking of a way to mount a cushion on top of the hump, magnets r something that could be removable. Any thoughts?

Looking at a pair of vintage mx bars, hard to tell from pics if I like them or not
