Introduction
Hi.. I just joined so I thought I would introduce myself.
I live in Tempe, Arizona. I have had my superhawk since 2000, it has a little over 50K miles on it, my favorite color is blue and I enjoy windy walks on the beach. :-D

Looks like stickers on 929 forks to me.

Um... close enough... 929 triples and brakes, 954 forks, 954 ignition barrel and key set... I was really pleased to find a 929 front fender matched the pearl Firestorm Yellow. It takes a really sharp eye to spot it's not a factory set up. The only non Honda bits are the bar risers. They are semi-custom jobbies made by Cycle Cat for a 929. http://www.cyclecat.com/BRAdjust1.htm

But my nice bodywork is sitting there... waiting for me to get off my lazy *** and and change it back. As I get older (36) I find that I am not that enthusiastic about doing anything when it's 110 degrees out.

The Wolf system was really, really bad for foot placement. I couldn't stand on the ***** of my feet without burning my boots! The guy who bought it seemed happy with them though.

The gold exhaust is by Two Brothers. It looks pretty cool in direct sunlight, it has a really gold-diamond look to it. On a hazy day, I think it looks like balsa wood though (yuck).
The black undertail was made by Wolf, a UK company.

yeah, im familiar with the 2bros, but I had never seen the Wolf system before
i like the appearance of it, except for the tips facing inward.
do you say it is a poor system as far as performance?

I didn't put my bike on a dyo until I put the two bros. pipes on, but from the "seat of my pants" I can tell you the Wolf system wasn't any good for power. It was really noticable until I took the baffles out, after that it wasn't too bad. I really noticed a difference after I changed to the two brothers though. The first set of pipes I had on the bike where Vance & Hines. Those were great pipes, they were pretty quiet and performed pretty well.

ok... so just to re-cap...
This is what the bike looked like when I bought it:
Then I broke my wrist doing this:
Then I fixed it so it looked like this:
And that was ok, but I changed it so it looked like this:
But right now, it looks like this: (but I still have the yellow bodywork)
Whoa.. I am on color number 3!!!
