New here, from the Mid-Hudson Valley N.Y.
Hello all,
New here, from the Mid-Hudson Valley N.Y., Just purchased a black RPS Hawk 250 recently. I'm a property manager on a large estate, I am pushing 40, but not ready to put away my toys any time soon. here is what I have done so far to the hawk: replaced gauges with digital upgraded to a mikuni carb airbox mod heat wrapped the exhaust new iridium spark plug MSR shifter eliminated blinker beeper soon I will be replacing the chain, upgrading to LED lights etc.. In the photo you can see that I left off some plastic pieces, I do not like the look of them so I threw 'em in the corner of the shop. Looking forward to talking to you folks here on the forum. |

Welcome to the forum. I also noticed the cut off tank plastic, the shorty brake lever and the flat black paint on the side body panels that you left out.
A picture on your first post is a great way to come in.
