All Hawks have a black fuel tank. Only the plastics are different in color.

The stage we're at now with 6.5 hours into it and it's still not finished. Installing new carb tomorrow and probably doing the alarm system Thursday.

Just wanna make sure the ignition system works properly before I go to adding the alarm system. I wanna keep everything simple and easy to diagnose.

The used oil in the sauce pan is a classic! Am glad you have your own kitchen. If I did something like that in the mrs kitchen.....when I say I don't get off the farm much, well I would have a trip to some kind of a funny type farm.

The valve adjustment..
Being that it's Jay's bike I sat back and watched as he set the intake and exhaust to .005" for the break in. And with my OCD that was a feat in and of itself. 😅
Side note, the intake valve was screwed down tight and the exhaust valve was actually being held open. I really doubt the bike would have even started in that condition. Well after he gets both adjusted he has me come over and check the drag on the feeler gauge, which was too much. We then discover he's got the 5 AND 6 blade BOTH out so he's actually setting the lash to .011"! ![]() So he starts the process over again and successfully set both to .005" with the proper amount of drag. He also shimmed the front fender with 4 washers and 2 longer bolts as Dan and I have done. ![]()

Was he convinced of the fender shim after seeing his vs. yours side by side? It is such a subtle difference that I often forget that I have done it.

As far as the fender no, we're just trying to do everything proactive as we assemble it, such as the fender, forks, and airbox mod. The one thing we forgot to purchase was marine grease so Jay's bringing some over today along with the 17 tooth sprocket.

I think i pulled a Jay when i did mine, sounded like it had a damn rod knock. Pulled it apart and i didn't have to measure to see the exhaust was way to lose. Now it just sounds like a noisy typewriter.
I'll be shimming my fender on the storm so my oil cooler fits without cutting half of the fender off. Winter project.
