after tailpipe change , single biggest weight lost gain, swap out the battery for a lithium job. gotta b 7 or 8 lbs and balance feels LOTS better.

Which model did you use? did you have to do any fabrication or did it bolt-on?

Yes, you need to widen the flange bolt holes for the header and you need to make a mount for the back to hang the exhaust since it doesn't line up with the stock. A trip to Home Depot and about 20 minutes with a a Dremel to widen the holes and cut the mounting brackets. I'm going to also see if there's a way to mount the center of the exhaust to the frame mount but it doesn't line up.

Thank chuck, although I'll try and get some better pictures for you if you want to go this route. Bike sounds mean though.

Thanks for those pics, with those I can tell that the Header wouldn't have worked on my Bashan WILL.

That really looks like a slipstream pipe . Az, did you get yours done?

Ps.entropy beware the lithium weight loss bat plan, I believe the consensus isthat battery may overheat due to excessive unregulated charging on these cheap bikes. They may charge in excess of 14 volts

A lithium/iron/phosphate (LiFePO4) battery designed for motorcycles and automobiles is designed to accepting a charging rate as high as 14.4 volts. It is normal for the charging system in any motor vehicle to charge batteries at this voltage. If your charging system damages a LiFePO4 battery, it would also damage a lead/acid battery.

However, you should not us lithium polymer (LiPo) batteries designed for radio controlled (RC) vehicles in your motorcycle. These batteries have a very volatile chemistry; they will ignite and burst into flame if the cells are exposed to air.

Not yet, but 'soon' (next month or 2 ), waiting on a buddy to get a TIG welder

That's discouraging, I was hoping to be able to ride mine to work sometimes. Are all of you Hawk owners getting similar results?

Swollbraham, I had some questions about your mods:

Item 1, was the chain you bought an "o" ring chain?

Item 7, what is the rear slider you're referring to?

Item 8, What did you replace the chain guide with? Are you referring to the rubber guide on the swing arm?

Thanks.
