Lieutenant Dan, You Ain't Got No Legs!
Started working on the bikes getting ready for the ride in to Wickenburg in a couple weeks. Ever wonder what a Hawk looks like without any legs? How about a DR? http://chinariders.net/attachment.ph...1&d=1572056393

Unfortunately, I don't have any adjustment on my stock shock. I may do something with the front forks, haven't decided yet. It's still got the Chinese fish oil in them, but so far it's been working just fine. Really looking forward to the ride. My buddy is flying in Thursday night, then we'll spend Friday going over the bikes and making sure everything is good (maybe even dig into the CB450 engine and see if I can get another bike up and running), and then Saturday, WE RIDE!!

I do that to my bikes at least once a year to check things, grease things, etc. I call it hover mode.

Dan, any idea what wheel bearings the Hawk uses? I figure while I have it apart, if I can get my hands on a set of bearings and seals I'll go ahead and take care of it. Otherwise it will have to wait until my next "Hover Mode". I'm going to be assembling and filling my shiny new parts washer today, the Hawk chain is going to be the first sacrifice to the Gods of Mineral Spirits.
