Hey Honda people..

Is it possible to bob out a 450 nighthawk? I'd love to lower mine and get her mean looking. The first and main thing I want to do is lower the ass end as much as freaking possible. Any thoughts?

I'd say yes.The tank already has a nice slope to it.Just follow the slope of the tank and she'll get low

Cool idea,go for it

Use some shorter shocks, like off a rebel. Also, you might be able to use lowering blocks, but if your really tough. Struts.

that would make the perfect bobber ,Don't plan or think your going to get all your money back out of it (probably ever)But then you may have got it free

You take a clean stock bike like that and start chopping it up your depreciating it.

Great idea I'd love the project ,but just giving you a heads up,so pleases don't think I'm negative cause I'm far from it and willing to give Ideas and thoughts,
does that have a 16' rear tire start there by getting one on it , struts

can be made very nice and a place to save on the buck, some solid stiff bushings can be added to save your back,

getting use of a solid frame is not easy but if you don't no what your missing well

.........Fun project Good luck ..>>>Piute<<<N>>>Judose<<<
