Honda Motorcycles blog

Cameron Weckerley from examiner.com has an intersting article on repairing the bike plastics with an example of how to fix an old top-case. I don’t have much to say about it, just let me link to it, as it might come handy one day. So here it is: Repairing Motorcycle Plastics Part 2

Just hope you are going to need it because of too much riding and not anything else

Brian Piersol contacted me asking for information on a Honda CB750 Nighthawk backrest - that’s how I’ve realized the link on my Honda dedicated site was obsolete. Following my answer, Brian found another place where you can shop for the Nighthawks backrest, windshild and engine guards. These go very well with the Corbin seat for the Honda CB 750 Nighthawk.

If you are wondering how the entire set is looking on an actual bike, here it is a picture with my bike.

One of the original thoughts I had when I’ve started the Honda Motorcycles blog was that I will be able to build a good database of knowledge about Honda bikes, parts and accessories. I now realize my goals were set too high - that’s not a one man job.

I can however share information that I gather on my journey as a biker. This time I’m prepared to talk about the Honda CB750 Nighthawk or SevenFifty exhaust. The CB750 history goes back to ‘69, but I will focus on the 1991 - 1993 & 1995 - 1999 models - as I have a 93 in my garage. Now, the exhaust is amongst the only things that went completely wrong on the bike, everything else being in a relative good state. As the bike has been discontinued for some years now, it’s a little bit harder to find the right exhaust for it. For Europe, I found the following providers:

• IXIL SILENCERS - part no H1918 RIGHT & H1919 LEFT, only the end canisters, chromed steel - looking very close to the originals.

• Barracuda Exhausts - part no 1017 - 4 into 1, looking a little strange to me, but if you don’t need the original look, it might work. Here is the buy link.

• Laser exhausts, the Jama Original series, looking good, but they never reply their emails so it’s impossible to buy. (If they will ever read this, I would like to let you know that you lost a sale)
  Address:
  JAMA Engineering BV.
  Boonsweg 85
  3274 LH Heinenoord
  The Netherlands

There are a few more suppliers in US and Canada, so if you would like to have something added here, let me know.

PS: Vance and Hines also do a good exhaust, but I’ve contacted them and said they are not producing this part anymore? Strange, because I’ve saw it in a shop. (Maybe because I’m from Romania?)
