I also have an 83 nighthawk 650. I had a problem with my charging system also. It would help if you told us what it was doing? I changed out my rectifier and also my stater and my system is charging properly. Without knowing what is going on with your bike I can not tell you where to start.

For a 1983 Honda Nighthawk, the recommended fork oil weight is typically 10W. However, it's important to consult the owner’s manual or a service manual for your specific model, as variations can occur based on factors like rider preference and modifications. Make sure to also consider the climate and riding conditions, as these can influence the choice of fork oil.
If everything is functioning properly, nothing is missing and the cosmetics are decent, then the bike should be worth around $1,100.
Have the charging system checked. The light comes on when there is a charging system problem. it may be a battery, alternator or a battery problem.
The rear can be lowered by different height shocks. The front can have shorter forks installed or have the frame cut and the angle changed, lengthening the bike as well as lowering it.
