Project Board / 1982 Nighthawk Restoration ( attempt )
« on: January 18, 2016, 02:31:14 PM »
Hi there, so after introducing myself I think it might be time to start a post in here to keep You all up to date on the progress ( if any ) on the restoration of my little " Hania "
I bought the bike back in July '15 from a Polish lad here in NI that wanted to send it to Poland and get it rebuild but the decided not to.
She was starting when I got it ( with a push ) but didn't work in idle. I had the top of the engine removed, checked the bores, pistons, rings and so on. Got it back together with new seals, new valve stem seals, o rings... Put in new spark plugs, new wires and caps. I had the carbs out and cleaned them, got them back in but with no new parts there. New battery and she starts and runs, still not what You would expect but. As the carb boots are old and cracked I think she might be catching some air on the side there, so have to get them ordered and replace as well.

Basically the plan is to get her rebuild to standard spec, but the work will be progressing slowly as there are time and funds limitations :)
I'm a hands on man, love bikes and into mechanics so as far as possible I get it all done myself with the exception of the obvious ie. powder coating and chromes.

All help and advice always welcome, also if You have any questions - shoot :)

New Member Introductions / Just a quick hello
« on: January 12, 2016, 04:12:36 PM »
Hi there everyone, as in the topic just a quick post to say hello.  :)
My name is Krzysztof and I am a polish living in Northern Ireland for over 10 years now.
In july '15 I got my self a 1982 Honda CB650 SC Nighthawk, nickname " Hania ". The bike is starting and running but in need of a full rebuild with paint and chromes and so on.
I am a Honda enthusiast, I had a 2001 CBR 600 before, and my dad rides a 1999 Shadow 600.
I am a real petrol head and into mechanics so basically anything that can be done to the bike at home I do it myself.
I think that's it really, any questions feel free to ask.
