New member here. I have a '96 Nighthawk 750 with a Rooster on it. I found it for sale from someone who had it stored in a blanket, and had never mounted it on a bike. Like new with all the hardware.

I used the L-shaped turn-signal-relocation brackets instead of the scissor straps to mount it to the headlight bolts, and I relocate the turn signals to the fork tubes with a pair of 1-1/2" 'minerallac' straps.

I cut a DIN-size opening in the blank radio plate that came with the Rooster, and put in an Alpine UTE-32 mechless head unit. I hope to add an Alpine KTP-445U amp to it one day, in 2-channel mode.

I enlarged the speaker holes to fit a pair of MTX TNS-52 2-way 5-1/4" separates, with the tweeters flush-mounted on each side of the stereo. It sounds good already, but I'm looking forward to the amp.
 
Welcome to the forum Larry. When I got my Rooster, it wasn't in as good of shape as yours and I kind-a pushed the limits for the size of bike I put it on, but I like it...

Welcome to the forum Larry! Now this is a Rooster I must see! Share some pics in the showcase forum when you can!
 
Will try. Didn't mean to imply that I was a Rooster newbie; my first one was on my previous Nighthawk, a 1982 750, also black.
