The cooling is as good or better unless stopped in traffic for a long time but I'm installing thermostatic fans that should fix that. My bar end mirrors are okay but you can buy much better units they just cost more. You want to find a set that don't deflect with wind and have good quality mirrors.

It's a great machine in a variety of presentations but the 'fighter projects are very special. Some of the stuff is outrageous - especially out of Europe. Good job - really think the lights and cluster make the look. Nice job on all the metal work.

Thanks! The hawk is a little hard to buy for because there is no room for a radiator up front and with 954 forks you need 50mm headlight clamps and no one makes them. It just takes some time in the garage and you can make anything work.

Just curious has anyone tried using a SV1000 front radiator. From what I heard the engines are about the same. Maybe the piping would work also. What kind of brakets did you use to mont the guage cluster? Looks cool BTW.

The SV radiators are hard to come by but are a likely cantidate. Also the Hornet 600 and 919.
I fabricated aluminum brackets for the cluster.

That is by far the BEST streetfighter Super Hawk conversion I have ever seen hands down (and I have seen a lot). GREAT JOB! Way better than the usual "clamp a round headlight on the front forks" gimmicks that are out there. How much can I give you for it?

That looks really good. I bet your not done!
I'd like to see a small windscreen, something like a Ducati S4R.
And something in a high mount exhaust.
I know how these things go. Keep it up!
