Hawk Upgrades and Customizing
Here are a couple pictures of my hawk at about 90% completion. It was a heck of a time trying to find parts that work vs what doesn't so hopefully this helps.
New exhaust (same one recommended by Motocheez from Amazon/China) K&N pod (unfortunately, see comments below) Gel grips Hella horn (Houston drivers....enough said) LED headlight/tail light/turn signal Rear fender delete (a must do, that thing was ridiculous) Mikuni carb Shinko tires Digital gage cluster Battery Tender battery O-ring chain 45T rear sprocket NGK plug I had to go with the pod due to the quick melting of the air box from the 7000 degree exhaust, but it was surprisingly easy to tune even at mid and high throttle range. Probably because it's such a small bike. The other upgrades like the carb and tires made a huuuuge difference. I decided to powder coat some miscellaneous pieces as well to break up the monotony. Gonna do the rear grab bars next. Let me know what you think and holler if you have any questions, I'd love to help. Last edited by ballinparlay; 09-30-2016 at 10:55 PM. Reason: Picture |

That bike is looking good. Did ever have second thoughts on you color choice?

Thanks man. Nah, I wanted to use a color I already had (I PCed a Yeti cup for some guy with a Jeep of similar color) and the Red-Orange looked pretty cool against the black. Tried to stay away from the "dirt bike" colors like kawasaki green or blue.

That is just the stock shift lever powder coated. I'm sure at some point it will break and I'll get an msr.
That is an actual header (I believe). Full Exhaust Muffler System Slip On For Honda CRF150F CRF230F 2003-2013 Titanium https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DO6IBLQ..._8l07xbFZ466PQ That is the link to it on amazon. It's pretty loud with the baffle out and makes the bike run much better. |

It looks like RPS updated the shift lever so it could clear case.
