Starter clutch for Nighthawk S?



The starter clutch on my 1984 Honda Nighthawk S (CB700) has gone out,
and I'm trying to find a new one on the cheap...does anyone know what
starter clutches I could use for this bike? Could I use a regular
Nighthawk starter clutch, for example?
you could...if you weren't dim.
The CB450's and CB650's of similar years have different clutches. The
CB750's of later years also have a different design. You'll probably
need to find one off another Nighthawk S between 1984-1986.
I'd be careful about throwing stones at nimcha... it might start to look
like a battle of wits between two unarmed contestants.

There's no need to guess which Honda starter clutches will work on a
CB700SC, Honda's parts fiche application tells you all the models a
particular part number is used on. A quick peek tells me the CB700SC
starter clutch is unique to the CB700SC/CB750SC (the USA Honda fiche
only says CB700SC, but I'm pretty sure it is the same part on the
non-tariff models as well). There may be other Hondas that use it
but none of them appear to have been sold in the USA.
