Hey member's,
I am from the northeast ohio area. I am in the process of transforming a bike from stock to my own. I am working with a 1982 Honda nighthawk 450sc, I purchased the bike about three years ago from Pennsylvania. Over the last year I rode it for 2000 miles. This is my first bike got my license two years ago through the msf course. I plan on doing simple upgrades to the bike changed all lights to a newer style smoked out all the marker lights. Currently getting the tail smoked just enough to reduce red appearance when off. Working on lowering the bike slightly for my short height. Have changed out handle bars to super sport bars "European bend" and converted the headlight to a modern h4 setup. Next plans are to paint the bike yet color decision keeps changing. I ride anytime I can and normally ride for 3+hrs at a time. I am always looking for new roads to find and new ways to tinker with my bike. I found this site when researching what direction to go as i love cafe bikes. But for some reason I just cant conform to anyone's style and just build what I like. By builds will have no cutting or welding of frames just not my style. I like the challenge to adjust on a platform and create something unique. Well hope to be around a while and learn some things as time goes on and help where I can.
 
This is the day we bought her. Nothing fancy just a plain Jane nighthawk.




This is a pic of the front with new lights bars running lights and mirrors. I have since flipped mirrors back up.

This is the back of the bike new turn signals in which i shaved the mounts to move in. License plate frame was flipped and moved up for a more tucked look.

A pic from one of my last rides of the season.


Sorry about quality I only use my cell phone much easier to upload with it.
