I purchased a 1983 Honda Nighthawk 750 need to know how to access the battery Forgive my ignorance, but I am new to motorcycles in general. Thanks

On your 1983 CB750SC you will have to remove your side covers. Be careful to put a fingers on both sides of the side cover tabs (a finger on either side of the side cover pin) when pulling off the side covers . They can break off easily on this model. Locate the two bolts holding the back of the seat down and take them off with a 12mm socket. Lift the back of the seat, pull it towards the back of the bike, and lift it off. The battery is underneath the driver seat and lifts straight up.
