What suspension is this?

Im making plans to redo my hawk and I found the bike that I want to pattern it after (see attached images). I love everything about this bike but cant seem to find the owner to have a conversation with. If you know or are this person, please PM me so we can chat. I believe he lives in England but not sure about that.

Does anyone here know what type of front end this is?

Also, if anyone can an point me to a site that sells those headlights that would be great too.

Thx!

One last question, is there anyone in So Cali (Orange County) that wants to help build this project with me...long shot I know but its worth a shot!

Thats a 929/954 front end.


I'd be checking e-bay for that headlight.

He must have anodized the adjusters black because the 929/954 forks are not like that. That's what threw me off. He also has some sort of covering on the tubes which makes them look different. Overall I think it looks really nice.

I will be using vinyl wrap on my ZX-10 forks to get them balck as well. I posted a link on it a while back (found it on a Ducati Monster iste).

Naked VTR looks really good! (I should note I don't typically say that about naked VTRs.....)

Yup, fork sleeves.
Not vinyl either... pretty slick.
