Hi 88 Hawk and welcome to our Forum
some very nice photos of your bike - I can see why you're so proud of it
RJ - WARNING - do not look at the links, you will need a cold shower and a lie down after seeing his seat
Nice graphics too
Which state are you in?

Thank ya sir. Appreciate the comps. Still some mods to do but working on it. Im in North Carolina Small world! My sister lives in Fuquay Varina; moved there from Raleigh and we have visited several times. Strong memories of a day "popping to the beach" on the OBX I believe that Derby is the furthest you can ever get from the coast in the UK - 70 miles! |

I can see that there are alot of nice and informative people here. Thats what I love, to talk about bikes, especially older ones. I am also a member of the Hawk Forum and thats a great site also. Some greta people there also.
Raleigh is about 1 hour from me, yes it is a very small world.

Thanks Ilegal.....Very nice bike ya have there. Im envious. I can see you hae take care of it too. Nice mods. One question...Is that radiator cover something you got aftermarket or is that something that came with the Bros bikes. I would love to get a cover or something like that for my Hawk. The simple black radiator could use some bling to it.

The rad cover i moded, i cut out the plastic in the middle section and glue welded custom aluminium gauze in there, i've done a few now and the results are a lot nice than original, am thinking of putting some custom ends on that rad to bling it up more, maybee some yellow/gold rad hoses would be a nice touch. Silencer and indicators fabricated by me, but i couldn't resist putting on one Revere part "the horn".

Yes, I dont plan on taking too many real long trips on mine. Dont think my seat will hold much luggage unless I sit on the suitcase Haha. Now that would be an interesting sight to see. ;D
