I changed the fork oil when I got home. It was black and stunk. Was just below 200cc. I put 210 cc's of mobile 1 atf. I couldn't find any fork oil. Big difference in the ride. Should of done this when I got it.

Got up this morning and drug the Hawk out the shed. I had a few scratches on the exhaust cover and didn't really like the silver so I took it off, sanded it and sprayed it flat black. While i was in painting mode I decided to take my red, white and blue helmet and sprayed it black to match the bike. While the paint was drying I checked the valves and after 500+ miles they were perfect. I waxed the chain and checked over all the bolts and screws. I picked up all my tools and took a lunch break. It was so nice out today that I took her out for a 2 hour cruise. I took a little off road trail ride and the ATF in the forks works so much better that the crap they had in there. Isn't she pretty?

The exhaust cover looks a lot better once it's painted black. I haven't done mine yet but I am going to. It just looks cheap and cheesy painted silver imo.

How do you like your tank bag joeboyk? Looks cool and I know they're popular but looks kinda bulky to me.

It rain most of Saturday morning so I went in the shed and took the decals off and cleaned her up. Saturday afternoon the rain stopped and took her out for a ride. The black Hawk looks so much better without the decals.
