Just picked up this bargain off craigslist, its my first hawk thus why I am new to this forum. settled at 1800, runs perfect, what a steal! Has 30k on the ticker. Can't wait for warm weather!






Will post more pics soon, bike is being painted on friday.

 

Stripped and ready for paint!

 

Lots of work going on there!

 

new paint job in 4 days will post more pics soon

 

Ha ha ha the shocker ! $tripped and ready for paint.

 

So just surprise us with the color...votes?...

 

haha, it's nothing crazy but will look clean when done!

 

If it looks clean...it looks good!!!

 

So much sanding going on right now. Just keep discovering new stress cracks and layers. It is getting tiresome but its almost ready for filler. As soon as it starts to smooth out more primer or factory paint begins to chip off so we are pretty much sanding it down to nothing to make sure there are no problems down the road.




Remounted tag. It used to hang low on the bracket and looked a mess.

 

So the guy who was working on my paint job never finished it and screwed me over for a bunch of money so I painted it myself. Not perfect but totally presentable.

AFTER:




I still need to buff with polishing compound, should really bring out the shine.
