Hello from Virginia beach
Hey everyone I thought i would pop in and say hey now that my Hawk is all registered and legal for Virginia.I now have 100 Miles on it. I have been out riding with my buddy who has a 650 Honda and he loves the way the Hawk looks and rides.

Welcome! It looks like it was pre-assembled for you? I would suggest still going through the bike and following the suggestions in the link found in my signature. Most sellers that assemble them just slap them together, and often very poorly.

Nice bike and Howdy. Red is the fastest color.
 If you see a farkled out yellow Ural CT running around VB, that's Chad, aka, Tomcatfixer over at Soviet Steeds. The guy's a hoot.

So i did some work on the bike over the weekend. i got my valves set where they need to be and a 17 front and 45 rear sprocket installed with a 110 jet for the Carb. the bike runs so much better. i did notice that the stock chain seems big for this set up. What you you recommend for an O-ring chain for it. Thanks everyone.

Ive seen where people have been able to register. Im just curious to know what all was involved in the process. Ive never registered a import vehicle before. Looking to get my ducks in a row before spending that kinda money. |
