if i had put a ducati engine in a superhawk frame, would that be ok??
are you saying that the frame has to be standard to be eligble??
what about if i had a standard frame with the 'ears' welded on like the Moriwaki race bikes??
or a Moriwaki race frame??
or is the 'vtr of the month' only eligble to bikes that are mostly standard, with just a few simple cosmetic mods??
just asking.....

Rob that is... what is going on...
Ok, so you almost have sportbike geometry/rake going on, but a hard tail, water cooled engine with USD forks and a peanut tank? How does that thing run with that bitty carb and no airbox?
Huh.
It's clean.
I like the motor...

water cooled engines and USD front ends are not unusual in chops over this side of the pond.

in the UK the vehicles' identity goes with the unmodified frame, modify the frame, it becomes a 'new' vehicle.... so i could quite legally hang a VW beetle engine in a superhawk frame and it'd still be a 'hawk.....
what about a ducati motor in an otherwise standard 'hawk??
what about the popular conversion of the VFR single sided arm and fireblade forks??
what about a Moriwaki conversion? looks like a 'hawk but has no standard engine internals, non standard suspension and wheels, non standard frame etc, etc... in fact mine has more standard 'storm/'hawk bits than a Moriwaki conversion.....
are you saying a 'hawk is only a 'hawk if it has the standard(ish) sillouette??

While the handlebars are a bit high for my personal taste, I'd probably opt for "standards" on such a bike, I like the rest...
Oh... Well, not the semi-spiky bling caps, but that's minor...

Hey Rob, we still waiting on a picture of you on the bike
I like what you did in one exception... Why ape hangers??? Beside the bad steering... Your hands don't go numb? Just wondering...
I personally would like it with a straight bar, look and handles better

this morning is the first sunny day for about 2 weeks, i'll try and get some today.
i only put the apes on as a bit of a joke really, but oddly, i really like them!!!! no numb hands yet.... i've got a new set of straights in case i change my mind, but so far, the apes are staying.
[edit]
got some pics on my mates camera of me on it, just gotta get 'em from there to here.......
