I'll echo the others here and say "GREAT FIND!"

As for the brake line, there is a guy on ebay that will custom make a braided line for you - pretty much any length, color, and fitting ends (lots of different bends available) for about $21 plus shipping.  Chrome banjo bolts and crush washers are even included.  He's in Canada.  I can vouch for the quality as I bought a brake and clutch line from him for one of my bikes.  Just do a search as he has multiple listings using various bike models/makes in the listing.


Thanks a bunch for the info- I'm ordering a set for my Tracker.   Thumbsup

Great.  Glad the tip was helpful.  I'll probably be ordering one soon for a little 250 Ninja street-fighter project (aka girlfriend wrecked her bike and trashed the fairings, etc.) I'm finishing up.   Lol

Sweet bike  Thumbsup

Check all your cabling - take them apart and clean/lube them.  My Nighthawk was like that too in that the throttle would stick and the clutch lever would squeak.  Just remember that the bike has not had any love for a long time and will need a through going over.

Toss some Seaform in the tank too.  That will help clean the tank and fuel lines.

These older Japanese bikes were really overbuilt and can take a beating.
