I fully expect to see Hawks sitting in the middle of Harbor Freight at some point in the not-too-distant future...

I'll try to get a pic for you. Yes, it was to allow me to get my feet planted better on the floor. I have about a 29" inseam and I felt like I was on a seesaw before. It's great now.

I think they would take a larger chunk of the market if they were to make parts easier to get. Having more cheap parts stateside would make people let apprehensive about investing in a Chinese bike

The pics aren't very good but it's the best I can do inside.

I have a 32 inch inseam and the Hawk feels tall to me! How are you liking that CSC Seat?

Ride Safe!

Seat looks good. Is this a kit where you have to take original seat apart or whole new bolt on seat?

It bolts on as complete seat. I have one on my hawk and love it.
Not as soft as stock but it gets me closer to the ground.

Loving the seat so far, but that's just going around in circles in my front yard. I'm much more stable

The seat is available on the CSC website. You just unbolt the old one and bolt on the new one
