1991 Honda Nighthawk 750 restoration 

Thanks, appreciated!

Glad you enjoyed and thats awesome, make sure to document your progress and post back with the end result! :)

Thanks, appreciated! :)

Thanks! 🤜 🤛

Thanks @Johannes, without a clutch you just want to avoid the city, shifting up and even down without a clutch is not too bad with good timing but starting from a stop is another story, I was lucky I could avoid most lights and stops on the way home, if I had to go through a city I would have had it towed, just too dangerous hehe

Thanks and good luck on your project, I'm sure you'll LOVE the bike once you've brought it back to its' glory! :)

Thanks! 🤜 🤛

Brilliant tires both on and offroad :)

Thanks appreciated! :)

Make sure to post a video! :)

Thanks appreciated! 🤜🤛 You can post a link to your video in the commenrs once your done! Im really not a professional restorer, but I like learning new skills and like to see that this video has inspired a few people to tackle on projects they iniatially would have thought they weren’t capable of. With youtube we have endless resources to figure out anything :)

Thanks, appreciated! 🤜🤛

It's often getting started that's the hardest. Once you stark taking it a part, it's hard to stop! :)

Thanks appreciated!

Plenty miles left on yours! 😎

Thanks! 🤜 🤛

Thanks, I'm really glad this video is inspiring some to wrench on their bikes to make it their own :) I've owned many bikes, and have done small mods before, but this is the first time I spent so much time on restoring a bike and I still have plenty to learn... 100% agreed on the cafe racer trend, at 6'1", the last thing I needed is having my wrists bellow my knees hehe The tricky part of not having a clutch is starting....cause you have to push start the bike and you drop it in 1st gear while at the same time pressing the start button...then you're usually off to a jerky start, but after that I would just upshift and downshift without the clutch (upshifting is quite easy, downshifting requires really good timing as you are basically reving the engine while simultaneously dropping a gear so that it falls in place at the right rev). Glad I had watch this video a few years ago, I remembered the basics: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-viWuolNYGyI.html Fortunately I was able to pick a route that had few lights, I would slow down way ahead of time so that I could time myself with green lights and on stop signs, same thing I would slow down as much as possible without completely stopping (using brake and staying on the gas a bit). Had it happened in the city, I would have had it towed it would just be too dangerous because of the constant stop and go.

Thanks, really fun bikes and bulletproof with basic maintenance :)

Cool! :) Anakee wild tires. From memory the front was a rear size and I had to use a tube with it. Rear was tubeless.

@@Speedytrip ahhh I see, thanks for the help!

Thanks! And yeah its the kind of project that you know where it starts, but not where it ends hehe The Africa Twin is an awesome bike for sure. I used to change bikes every year (some years I changed 3 times)...so for me to keep a buy 3 almost 4 years now, it says a lot!

@@Speedytrip nice nice.. yeah i have a few buddies like that.. until i find a decent job or figure out a hustle im stuck with bikes i have.. i dont mind them at all lol. just would like something bigger eventually and to have more options to ride on

@@GROMSQUATCH Wishing you the best of luck! :) As long as you can ride, you're already doing ok!

@@Speedytrip no doubt.. riding is one of the only things i care about..

Thanks appreciated! I dont remember the sizes (and sold the bike since) but it was ANakee Wild tires and the front is a rear tire with tube, rear is stock size, tubeless.

Great bikes indeed! I think I bought mine from here: www.bike-parts-honda.ca/honda-motorcycle/750-MOTO/CB/1993/CB750P/Frame/STEP/95215/F_19/2/1907

Thanks, glad you enjoyed! The handlebars were those on the bike when I got it, I just bought some cheap ebay risers (cause without risers, the handlebars hit the tank and that's why when previous owner dropped the bike it made a huge dent in the tank...). From experience, cheap risers do the job and are a fraction of the price of Rox Risers. For the handlebars, I'm really not sure but it might have even come off an ATV. Looks a bit like this: fortnine.ca/en/quadboss-atv-oem-replacement-handlebar But even better than handlebars and risers, are just to get handlebars that have the proper bend to clear the tank, I ordered 2 and neither of them was enough, so I ended up keeping the ones that were on the bike and just added risers.

Thanks I sold the bike, but I could recover this from a previous post: "Michelin Anakee Wilds. They are both rear tires, the rear is tubeless and the front needs a tube as there was no tubeless version in that size. Im not home at the moment but they seem to have stock sizes for front and back, its just that technically its a rear tire that has the size of the front wheel (and youll see its a TT for “tube tire”.It’s been working great so far."

Hey @Joseph Estralla, sorry for your friend, his wife will certainly love whatever you make of the bike! For the colors I just grabbed satin black urethane paint on sale, then added coats of clear coat and wet sanded and polished with a car compound to a shine. Any quality black paint will do, you can even find some 1 stage paint that would save you the clear coat. I’m by no means a professional painter, I shot it from the can, in a poorly lit shed, and it came out pretty nice! As for the engine, unless you want to take it appart and powdercoat it, I wouldnt touch it as paing will most likely peal overtime, If she doesnt do much gravel roads, you could have the headers ceramic coated, but those to can chip with rocks.

Sorry it was already on the bike when I bought it and already sold the bike. I think it was a Renthal dirtbike bar, and if its flatter youll need risers to clear the tank :)

Thanks @T.Johnson, I got them from here: motor-stickers.com/honda-cb-750-seven-fifty-1999-2003-1 Not cheap but they look great :)

I'm tall and the last thing I needed was a tiny seat and clip-ons lower than my knees :D

Thanks, appreciated!

@kiko baliko I bought them on Amazon, it was extremely hard to find something that fit. These are a bit on the tight side, but they work: www.amazon.ca/-/fr/gp/product/B08G1CW1JD/

Thanks! Just sold my africa twin for a super tenere 1200. The T7 looks like a lot of fun, but less on long distance rides :)

@@Speedytrip The tenere 1200 is a beast, cruise control, shaft drive, heated grips , great touring bike 🏍, I had a 2014, looking at a new one now, enjoy !

@@lucacaileanu8989 Yeah I'm still trying to tweak the ergos for it to be more comfortable 2 up, but there's a lot to love about this bike.

Anakee Wild. I had to use a rear tire with tube on the front, as they had no front tires that fit. But it worked well.

@cesar capla I bought from this site: www.bike-parts-honda.ca/honda-motorcycle/750-MOTO/CB/1991

Extremely well, they perform way better than the look aggressive look would suggest.

Depending on where you live, they seem to have sold more of these bikes in europe where it might be easier to find parts.

Michelin Anakee Wilds. They are both rear tires, the rear is tubeless and the front needs a tube as there was no tubeless version in that size. Im not home at the moment but they seem to have stock sizes fir front and back, its just that technically its a rear tire that has the size of the front wheel (and youll see its a TT for “tube tire”.It’s been working great so far.

@@Speedytrip word thank you bub. Just got a new bike so the cb750 is going to be the goon around bike. I put to much into it to sell it haha

Sadly we didn’t get those in Canada :(

Sorry, already sold it :D But it is a great bike and I'd buy another one without hesitation. With that said, I only kept the DR650 going on my 3rd year on it, which is the longest I've kept any bike.

It has stock suspensions so I wouldnt jump it. But it does great on dirt and gravel roads where its mostly used.

Thanks for replying, just bought one and playing to do pretty much what u did taking ur project as a model for mine .

Thanks! :)
