82>81 parts compatibility?

Postby 626 » Sun May 19, 2013 3:32 pm

Hey guys, I found a titleless 82 nighthawk 650 local. Looks to be in decent shape. It seems to be a good parts bike for me. I'm looking for insight as to how many parts are useable with my 81 cb650c?

It's got a 4-1 on it which I'd like to put on, those carbs have screw in slow jets and would fit mine, true? Thanks for any help.

The exhaust will fit and the carbs. The nitehawk is when they started changing big time. All cosmetics and front end are diff.
Did you clean the tank out?!?!?!?!

Thanks for the reply. I was hoping it was just the seat/tank/gauges/peg mounting that was different.

Might be worth it for the engine/electronics spares. The more I look at 4-1 vs 4-4 the more I love the look of 4-4. I know a cafe is supose to be shedding pounds and chasing power, but 4-4 just looks way better. Bah I guess I'll just pass on it.
