marmaladeboy what type of street fighter mods you thinking of doing. I been considering it too but i am at a lose as to where to start.

Re: What have you done to your Hawk
 

here goes a pic of my hawk.
She was in the shop getting my 8500 mile service and i went 1 tooth down in the front the new front springs and rear shock i will get more pics showing all that i done.

Plus if your in the miami area check out the shop i use these guys dont bs you at all they know there stuff too.

Cycle Race Tech......

sorry i had to give them a shout out. they have saved me hundreds and tought me a thing or two.

First things first, it's all about the front/headlight. I'm still not 100% convinced of this one (not this one specifically, but it looks similar to the one I purchased:

http://www.acerbis.com/p107_headligh...0/14300184.jpg

After that:

Front-mount radiator.
Larger fuel tank.
Handlebar instead of clip-ons.

And waaaay after that...
SSS.
Single or single-side exhaust/s.

But, first I've got to get rid of my track bike and finish the project car.

Let's see if I can remember everything, I'll start from front to rear. Front wheel and rotors are RC51, axle is ZX12R, wheel bearings are 954. Brake calipers and forks are GSXR1000, triples are 929 upper and 954 lower. 929 Heli bars mounted under the upper triple with Galfer ss brakelines all around. I think that takes care of the front end, oops forgot the carbon fiber GSXR fender.

K&N air filter and factory jet kit for intake and a combination of cbr1000rr and R1 frame sliders. Harris rear sets with slash cut pegs and carbon fiber heel protectors. Flush mount flexible 12 led front signals and running lights in the fairing air scoops. Corbin seat for the tush.

Jardine high mount mid pipes connected to 2bros carbon fiber cans. 900rr rear wheel with -1 front sprocket and +2 rear vortex for track days and and 41 tooth for street, 520 chain. Rumble imports tail with carbon look led lights and hugger,(yet to install hugger though). I also have a 900rr swing arm that I'm either going to put on or cut the brace off and weld to the stock swingarm. Oh and an airblade double bubble iridium screen. And that's all I can say about that because life is like a box of chocolates. :lol:

hey marmaladeboy, let me know what you do for a front mount radiator... i'm looking to do the same to mine... just need some ideas.

Re: What have you done to your Hawk
 

So far:

Zero Gravity double bubble
SS front brake lines
Jardine high mount polished ovals
+2 rear sprocket
Avon Azaros av49/50 SP Pro

Will do. Just gotta find a way to get it around that front cylinder...

I think I've seen a front-mounted radiator on a superhawk somewhere. I'll have to see if I can dig up that picture...

Is DaZ still on the board? His Superhawk was awesome.

i don't think faz has made a post in months...

I meant Daz. The one from England.

But yeah, haven't seen Faz either.

Then again, I hadn't been back here for awhile...

hey marmalade... good taste on the acerbis light! that's the diamond headlight that i currently have on my hawk (except in flat black). i'd post pics... but no digi-cam.
other mods: -1F +2R sprocket, jardine blk hi-mounts, rattlecan black paintjob, superbike bars, fenderectomy.

...

...

... that was weird... it wouldn't let me post, some kinda error message so i tried a couple of times. i guess they all went through.

I'm sure I'm forgetting something. MORE to come!

Nice list bling, you made me remeber I did my headlight too. Did marmaladeboy get your brace. How was that mod anyway?

Oh and hows your shock? I've been searching high and low for a shock, but I'm not paying $500 or more for one. I'm sure you know new ones go for $750 to $1200, Just don't have the scratch for that.

Mikstr, one of our forum Canuks, got it. Norrth had first dibs on it through the forum but Ebay wouldn't let me cancel the auction so Micky won it.

You can find used penske/ohlins on ebay under $500 but they aren't that common. Ohlins has a new VTEC VFR shock that is very close to VTR specs for around $550 NEW ($650MSRP)!!! What's the catch? No compression or external reservoir. It's still a quality unit. I had one on my O2 vfr.

I will eventually get my penske upgraded to the high/low compression model level and revalved for the 'hawk. Hopefully next year sometime.

Re: What have you done to your Hawk
 

wow, just wow :shock:

Mines still a work in progress but is nearly ready for next season.

list is my sig :)

all that a no pics??? lets see this Superhawk of Superhawks

Oh, I've posted pics before (heh,heh).

But I am a Superhawk newbie that just signed up a few weeks ago...throw me a bone here. PPLleeeeasee...it being the holidays and all

Just go to the performance mods section and look for any thread I've started. That should be a good start. :-)

Yeah my watch list has about 10 shocks on it right now and North is suposed to give me an email address for an ohlins for $450. Funds are tight though so something cheaper might have to be modded on there instead for now.

It looks like the older 748 duc shocks are real close fit, size and weight to the superhawk.

The spring is WAY too weak but it's easy to replace (no compressor needed) and it juuuussst fit with a longer top mount. I didn't like having the reservoir so close to the exhaust but that's only way it fit. Honda has heat deflectors on some of the VFR series bikes and I thought about getting one of those. The spring pictured is from a fox TC that came with the SuperHawk.

I gave up trying to get a used Duc Ohlins; bidding was always too high. Those Duc boys have got too much money! :lol:

:lol: :lol: Yeah you're right about that I'm hopeing no ones looking one day and I can sweep it out from under them. I know that some RC51s I've seen have a carbon fiber shield for the shock.

Re: What have you done to your Hawk
 

You guys are filling my head with all kinds of ideas to get me in trouble with the other half!! I just got mine back together after a third go-round with the stock CCTs. While I was tearing into it, I decided to completely tear the bike apart.

ZG Double Bubble smoked
Goodridge brake lines
80W bulb
LP flush mounts front and rear (rear integrated into the tail section)
Powercoated frame (gloss black)
Powdercoated swingarm (gloss black)
Chromed: rear sets, levers, upper tree, rear pegs/ brackets, clip-ons
Once I finish wasting the current Dunlops, the wheels will be coated to match the frame leaving the smooth lip polished and wrapped in Pirellis. Both side covers and the valve covers will go in at thesame time for a flat black coat - gotta meet the shop minimum!

APE CCTs :roll:
Ported heads
JE 11.5:1 pistons
Total Seal rings
balanced crank
balanced rods
+2 rear
D&D slip-ons
Jet Hot coated header ppes
de-restricted manifold boots
K&N filter
Factory 1.0 Jet kit
DynoJet Wide Band Commander
manual fan switch
Auto Meter shift light (waiting for new dyno to set the appropriate pill)
Barnett clutch springs

It currently runs okay with no tuning mods other than a 185 front
and 188 rear, but it's going on the dyno for tuning after I get about 1,000 miles on the new build to get it dialed-in.

Hey DAWG, FYI Cyder77 has those race tech sprins for sale on here. Sorry they're .85 springs. :(

I also have the race techs for sale the 1kg i will sell them for $100 plus shipping they are brand new.

Already got the springs & the Gold Valves from a guy in Oklahoma at a big discount.
He's closing out his last Race Tech stuff.
Springs $85 then take another 30%off !
That's one hell of a deal !
Still has some left here:
http://www.tulsasportbikeriders.com/...pic.php?t=3730
Need to order the rebound valves & get to working on it!!
These forks really need it with my 190lb weight.
I got the .90kg springs instead of Cyder77's .85kg cause my weight bounces around (too much-I'm light for me right now)

Got my Ohlins the other dayoff ebay just need to install it.
Same with the VFR bars.
Waiting for the correct LED taillight from that ebay seller that sent the wrong one.
He's supposed to have already shipped the right one :-( [I'm thinking it would have been less trouble to just order directly from clear alternatives http://tinyurl.com/a24qb & paid the extra $20 to get it right the 1st time] grrrrrr......

The LEDs on the Mototeck undertail leave something to be desired in the visibility department....I'm hoping the taillight turnsignals help be seen better.

I bought Cyder77's Pyramid undertail & hugger.
He is a good seller & fast shipper.
Thanks Cyder77 !!!
I checked into buying the paint to color match to my bike and was shocked to find paint so expensive.
Then I saw DavidH1172's pictures of his Mototeck undertail I had to have one....it looks SO cool ! (and is color matched)

Found I got a heck of a deal on a Pyramid carbon fiber hugger and CF tank protecter ($137) on ebay so I didn't use either of Cyder77's items :-(
Know anybody interested in them?
I'll make them a heck of a deal !

I bought that same light from the same guy,, and no,, the signals are not all that visible. I'm adding an under tail with lights, and plan on hooking them up along with the tail light/turn signals.. Hopefully, together some idiot in a cage to my rear will see one or the other and not smack me to the ground(as I told my wife the other day ((new rider, first street bike)) Blinkers are for the cops only)),,, I've never used them to actually ensure I have a clear spot to move in to. Look, signal, move... but the signal is just for looks :P
