Like the title says , i joined this forum in the hopes of buying a SV650 but settled for a 1984 Honda Nighthawk 650 and i've been doing some restoration on it for the past 7 months or so and just finished it and thought i' share some pics with you all ......

Looks real nice man - black and white is simple, yet stunning.

Top class job.

Love the ceramic pipes, thought you folks over there loved your chrome!?;)

Are they easy to keep how they look in the pic, ie mint?

I never forget a friendly person, welcome back! Bike looks great! far better than the original. Cosmetics aside, was there alot of work to be done to the bike?

:D

I wanna see it glow in the dark. I'm curious what glow colour you went for.

And i love the idea of glow in the dark paints. I wonder if i could use it to paint my lid??? Hmmm.

Thanks Guys but i'm not back , just though it would be nice to share these pics with you Top class job.

As long as you prep them correctly and remove all of the chrome the ceramic will hold up for years
