Hawk build continues. Fork oil changed to Honda suspension oil 10w. Green bike needs speedo, front turn signals, and headlight. Fork oil made a difference...I am going to try a few ounces at a time to stiffen the suspension. 150 ml is correct. Black bike is moving a little slower. We did notice on the black bike the right turn signals don't work. Not sure if it's connected or switch issue. I didn't find manufacture date. They both indicate mfr. 2015. APSCUSA has been great. Patty sent out my paperwork today. I would highly reccomend them if you are thinking of getting a Hawk. Respond to emails within an hour usually.

On the turn signal, check the bulb. Take it out and reinstall Ithe 180degrees from original orientation to ensure good connection before you start tracking back the wireing may be that simple, it was for me. Tighten that ground wire inside the cover too.

The bikes are almost complete. The black bike started with a little attitude. Same old issue..to lean. Timing is too fast. If that was adjustable they would start better. Both these bikes do not have a choke on the carburators. The black bike went around the block twice....then after a few minutes it wouldn't start...Mikuni's are on the way. Adjusted the valves on both bikes to 05mm. Black bike sounds a little noisy. May have to revisit the valve adjustment. Replaced the fork oil in the green bike. 150 ml. Today I added 25 ml to each. They seem better. Used pro Honda suspension lube 10w. Moved the under seat wiring into the little box....modified to fit plugs through it. So far so good. 17/45 sprocket combo has arrived. Carb jets 115/30 have arrived. I think the carbs are coming from China. Changed oil..valvoline 10w40 motorcycle oil....mineral. That's it for now. I'll check the post office to see if my Tennessee paperwork arrives from APSCUSA.

Ugh!
I have made a grave error! I stated the carb did not have a choke...It clearly has a choke....Thanks sport rider. I feel so ashamed.

3 positions, choke, 1/2 choke, run. Who here has tried to run down the road on half choke, come on now, raise those hands .

The green bike is up and running. The black bike is doing well. We had just a few issues with turn signals and such. Just a few loose plugs. You all have been so helpful....Thank you for making our bikes better.
