check out my brand new SuperHawk. She's just over one week old, and I just passed the 300 mile break-in period today

YEah, I am really liking the Black with Gold wheels... Is the paint metallic or just plain black?

Here come the mods! Congrats on the new bike, I have a 98 I bought new it's still a great motorcycle.

If they ever get the inter-island ferry system running I'm bringing my SHawk to the Big Island. It must be great to have a little space to let it run free!

the modifications have begun! Jardine high-mounts installed. man, these things sound great! The guys on Harleys look at me like "what the hell is THAT?!?"
Also, I installed Goodridge kevlar front brake lines (but you can't see that in this picture).

clear day!
Check out how clear it was in Hilo today! The mountain in the background is Mauna Kea (summit over 14,000 feet).

halfway up
This picture is from about halfway up Mauna Kea. This picture was taken at the turnoff to the summit (about 6000-7000 feet). I trekked up to the observatory visitor center (9200 feet) today. The mountain in the background is still Mauna Kea (just closer to the summit).

SHAWK at altitude
Do you still have the stock air filter and jetting on your s-hawk? Did you go up to the observatory? How was it running at altitude? I think it's about 13,500 feet above sea level up there!

I still have stock filter & jetting for now. Bike was running fine all the way up to the vistor center (about 9200 feet). I did not go all the way to the summit (over 14,000 feet) because the road up from the visitor center is unpaved. Also note that the road to the visitor center is extreme grade (about 45 degree angle) for many parts. On the drive up there, a got stung by a bee. It flew into my neck & the stinger lodged into my throat I had to pull out the stinger using my left hand while driving up the hill

Kilauea is on the Big Island. It is a neat drive around the crater. If the weather is nice next weekend, I will do the drive & post pix.

Re: SkyBoy's SuperHawk
My wife and I vacationed in Hawaii a couple of months ago. Wow, the
place is paradise. I'm jealous. We hiked Kilauea. It's like being on
another planet. The lava flows were pretty incredible too. Looking
forward to your pics.

Chris

P.S. Bike looks great too!
