Hawk Lowered fender and windshield

[Mesaman]

I wanted to make my Hawk a bit more streamlined for street use so I lowered and bobbed the original front fender and added a sport windshield. I trimmed about 5 inches off the front of the fender and used the original mountig holes to bolt it to some aluminum straps I bought at Home Depot. The mount is nice and solid, even with the rubber mounting grommets.

The windshield is a piece of polycarbonate (also from HD) that I trimmed with an aviation snips, smoothed with a file, and then thermoformed by hand with a heatgun. For the windshield profile, I just traced the outline of the headlight housing and flipped it upside down. At about 50mph, the windshield does a great job of deflecting wind from the neck down-- I am a 6 ft rider.

P.S, Forgive the Honda decals.. I got tired of trying to explain the whole Haosan/RPS/Hawk thing to people so now there is no need for anyone to ask what it is.
