Bodywork, sprockets and all?
 

So it's been a few weeks but I finally got finished with the bike (mostly).....all the (mostly) new bodywork and tank is on, windscreen....the sprockets.....

Here's a before: http://img1.putfile.com/thumb/12/36018240394.jpg

And an after: http://img1.putfile.com/thumb/1/1019050944.jpg


And I have to say, this kit (gold RKSport 520 xw chain, 15 tooth front and aluminum 44 tooth rear) is INSANE. I weigh 165 and LAYING on the bars, wrapped in 2nd gear, front tire came up at 7000 rpms.... I've gotta get used to this!

15/44 wow what are you getting 80-85 miles per tank!!!

yeah, but think how much he saves on front tires !

Haven't corrected the speedo yet so I'm not sure. I'm almost afraid to find out....but man is it fun to ride. My old EX had a +4 rear....my car has 4.10's....what can I say, I like lots of gear :-D

I just noticed you're in Palm Bay. gotta get together sometime.

with a little practice you ought to be able to pull up third gear wheelies!!!

so is the tail section painted or vinyl???

Believe me or not but I dont do wheelies! I shift right out of first and I lean on the bars when I wrap it. It will keep the front end mostly down until the torque peak in 2nd. Third it wont come up unless I want it to

I've actually been trying to get my chicken strips off...the back tire has less than 1/2" on either side...the damn front still looks crappy though

Wheelies are no fun, railing a corner is where its at

Painted. All the panels are used bodywork from ebay, off a guy's race VTR. He was selling it off to start racing 600ss.

hell, I've had my rear tire to the edge and the front still has a healthy virgin strip! safety margin, I reckon.

Guess so huh....I keep dragging foot through these damn corners, I forget to stay in a taller gear so I dont have to shift on the exit :bitchslap: I'm afraid of the roads around here though....sand/gravel/oil all over so I have to reserve my leaning to the small group of corners that I *know* are safe

so true, so true. falling on the street is unacceptable.
watch those toes, that sh*t hurts!

Superhawkins..... Glad to see the parts being used again! :) But don't worry... I am keeping with my Superhawk!

Was it you I bought all those parts off of??

Chicken strips are a good sign on the street!
Go to a track and roll off big sticky gumballs.

Yes Sir. I really am glad someone is using them straight up. While I am doing major reconstruction on my bike this winter... it is WAY to cold to ride right now :( , I enjoy my Superhawk way to much to part with it.

Oh and I have to agree with you, corners are where it's at! :banana:
