Pics are rough, since she has sat for awhile stuffed in the garage.
I bought a Harley, I admit. And that's why she's sat.
Just getting older, not quite the sportbike guy I used to be.
I'll take some garage pictures tomorrow and post them in the evening. Details of the different mods.

Please (quickly) send pics to englatona@netzero.net. Wow, 10 foot drop! I had a race bike in a garage that basicly burned down(no more stairs) so I had to lower it with a rope. It never fell but it was a race wknd & I needed it. Never heard of quite that incident with a bike.

I think I've seen this bike in past years at some event or another in MN - I remember because I also put the convertibars on after seeing it. it was really nicely done and was not just thrown together like some mods. Good luck with the sale - it will make someone very happy starting place with all the right fixes already done.

I took the fairing off to make the bike fit in a smaller space in my garage for winter. Yes I have a tiny garage. The fairing plastic alone is what was in the rafters of the garage.
The bike's fine.

I always got alot of questions on the Convertibars. They're neat in their adjustability.
Thanks for the complments

I hate to say it, but you need to part this nice bike out. With exchange for OEM parts you could get $850 for the front end, $450 for the shock, $220 for the seat, $50 for the mirror extendor (those are the good ones - I'll PP you $50 right now for them), $200 for the cans, $60 for the crash bars, ets...
You'd be at $75% of your asking price and still have a stock bike to sell (or keep!)

Well I'd consider it. Problem is I don't have a heated garage. So it's 10 below zero in there right now.
As far as the mirror extenders. Sure. Those are easy to remove, so I could deal on those.
metal gets brittle when it's so cold though. Wouldn't want to break anything disassembling it. Or my hands *lol*

You've got a PM on the mirror extenders...
Jesse, it will be riding weather in just a few months and you will miss your bike. I would guess it is hard to part off your mods, but I would think being without a bike would be worse.
A stock Hawk is better than no Hawk.
PS Looking forward to seeng behind me...

Since non-running bikes are ridiculously hard to sell I made a decision.
Going to take the bike off of the market and wait until spring, when it'll be running again.
Shopping for replacement bodywork right now.
As far as the aftermarket mods on the bike. I'd be willing to sell them separately. I will need to trade for stock parts on items that will not leave me with a full bike to sell in the spring. And most of that wrenching won't happen until spring.
Contact me over PM or email ( jesse.crenshaw@gmail.com ) and we can work out some details. I'll update the original post whenever an item sells.
Thanks guys.

Major Bump.
I'll be rebuilding the carbs this weekend. If anyone is interested in parting out any specific parts, please let me know and I can remove them this weekend also.
I've got a windscreen on order, and the rest of the bodywork can or has been repaired. I should be able to have updated pictures by the end of this weekend.
If you're local and want to come by and look at the motorcycle, please contact me
612-869-6749
I want to try and get this motorcycle all buttoned up, running, and for sale asap.
Of course if someone wants to come by and buy it this weekend, I'd still be up for it.
