I did paint wheels and front forks. They were originally chrome. Have to say that the bike looks good even without all the plastics

Got most of the changes done today. Still waiting for the oil cooler which is on its way from China. The longer shifter is a great upgrade which all Hawk owners should consider getting. Top speed now with the sprocket change was 63. However I did not have it full open and there is a 10-15 mph cross/head wind.

still looks like you got about a inch and a half of fork to push down.

So guys I could use some advice. I ran into a little snag. I figured out a way to drop the fender so the oil cooler would clear.

i think Wolftrax is out front on the fender issue. i'm anxiously awaiting what he comes up with. you definitely need something there to keep rocks and slop off the motor. i was thinking one of those shortie 2 step types would work..

Here's a link for the rear rack. You will need to get a steel or wood plate to use as a mounting platform for the rack. Mount the plate to the bike and the rack to the plate.
