All that being said, ffor what you want and what you have, you'd be better off getting a different bike. Hawk is great for offroad/trails, getting around town, not great for the highway, especially for longer rides.

At the very least if you insist on the hawk carbed go ahead and pick up an oil cooler if you plan on redlining her to do highway speeds.
If your are going by the stock speedometer, your bike realistically did about 60mph.

All of my speeds are via a GPS reading for that very reason.

Most people find the stock speedo to be 8 - 10% off at 60+mph
