New guy, new Hawk DLX in MS
Hey y'all...
So I finally ordered the Hawk DLX with EFI. Ordered from Amazon, sold by Great Deals. The bike showed up in less than a week with NO shipping rash!! Took me about 3-4 hours to casually build it, with some help from my friend that got his a week prior. I do recommend a bike stand. Get one from Harbor Freight for around $35 if you don't have one already. First thing I did is order some new mirrors, and levers w/ master, and ProTaper handlebars. Looking at the IMS Flightline shifter foot pedal, and an oil cooler. Also, I would very much like to swap the brake lines for stainless. If you guys have a link for those, that would be great!! I am in Central Mississippi, so if anyone wants to do a meet up, lets do it. Also, I cant find the link again, but add Mississippi to the list of states that will accept the Hawk for registration/tag. This bike is bigger than I expected. I've had taller dirt bikes, but the seat of the Hawk DLX is much wider that a dirt bike seat. I am 55yo, 230lbs, 5'10" (5'11") when my Mom tells me to "stand up straight!", and I am on my tip-toes with this bike. My friend is 6'2" and sits flat foot with no problem. So I may give a few turns of the rear suspension nut to bring it down a bit. This is my second Chine bike. I had a TaoTao 150cc scooter that was a lot of fun. But this is probably my 10th motorcycle in my 40 years of riding. Last edited by JasonOnTheRez; 09-18-2020 at 09:52 PM. |
