After the porting and valve grind I buttoned her back up and did a compression test. Pretty happy with 165 number. Was thinking aboit at least doing a ring job, bit my cylinder looked really clean, no scoring no nothing. Not bad for a 4500 mile engine��

That is right around where my hawk floats as far as compression goes. I would call that pretty healthy

Took the frame to the welder today to check the welds and straighten the foot pegs. In the interim I decided to start on the seat.

The stock seat suffers from poor quality foam and the obnoxious hump. I'm also going to make it a bit wider in the hip area.

Phase 1, remove cover, cut stock foam, measure and cut 6lb carpet pad to fit cutout. Glue in place and rough shape with knife. Need a sharpie a serrated edge knife, scissors and spray adhesive.

This will work for the clutch and centrifugal oil filter.

You can also take an old socket and grinder and make you own.

I just use a punch and a 5lb hammer. Been using that method for years and nary a problem.

Got the the tank cleaned up. Also chopped 6" off the seat to make room for an Acerbis auxiliary tank to mount on the frame rails. The seat came out pretty well if I say so myself. It's wider, flatter and firmer.

Nice progress on your build. Have you thought about maybe going to a larger tank rather than an add on one? Acerbis ones are pretty pricey but Clark seems to be cheaper. We know that Spud has had one on his Zong for quite a while now with no complaints. Not sure what would fit but as the Hawk (and it's brothers? cousins?) is based on a Honda, there should be one that fits.

I did a cursory search and really didn't come up with anything that looked like it would fit. The Honda the hawk is a copy of was never sold in the US. Its much easier to just plumb in an aux tank, there pretty cheap, less than a $100.

Been poking along with the build. Got my ne shock installed, battery box and rear fender fitted as well as a digital dash I was originally going to install bon my CRF. Also got the wiring harness reworked and got my new bars on. Oh yeah, the 520 chain upgrade is done, thanks Dan

Anyone know where I can get the gear sensor that's located beneath the countershaft sprocket. During teardown, all the wires disintegrated during removal.

As far as the gear position switch, you can always give a TT250 unit a try. The price is definitely low enough that if it doesn't match you won't be out much.
http://www.cscmotorcycles.com/TT250-...p/zt50-114.htm

I have seen different types of switches in my search, and I have never taken my Hawk's unit out, so I have nothing to match it to from personal experience.

As far as the rear shock goes. Is that one of the universal "adjustable" units I have found on Aliexpress under the name Keoghs? If so, let me know how you like it. I have been seriously considering getting one, but I am not sure if I want to pull the trigger on it.

Oh, and what is that rear fender off of? Kind of a universal drt bike rear fender?

Hey Mark,

Where did you get the shock that you installed on your Hawk?

I met you at the 2016 Horizon's Unlimited event in Appomattox, VA. The subject of Hawks came up and I remarked, "Yeah, there's this crazy guy on ChinaRiders.net whose' planning to ride his to Argentina". You smiled and replied to the effect of, "Yep. That's me".

Glad to see that you made it back from South America (-:

I've since sold my V-Strom 650 and rely solely on my Hawk for 2-wheeled motor transport. As you know the stock shock is a spine compressor )-:

Looking forward to your reply,

Corry
