enduro.. hawk.. i understand im a idiot..
so i want to make my superhawk into a enduro. Get around in the dirt and gravel fire trails ... heli bars {or somthing more upright} are going to happen and i was wondering if anyone knows of anyone that makes crank case savers for this bike? what is a good brand of lever protectors .. the whole nine yards .. and sure tell me how this is totally the wrong bike i get it. however its paid for its what i have and selling it all street fightered out wouldnt get me what i want.. so there is that...want to be really mad.. oh i live in northern Ca right in wine country and the twisty roads are endless..my thing is with all the idiots on phones even in curves i rather do it in the dirt and i dont wanna buy another bike ...even with most mods i would say throwing a set of street tires would pretty much set it back to a road beast anyhow..

a company called carbonadi in germany makes awesome carbon fiber / kevlar case savers. about $110 for both sides. guys name is Adi. make sure and ask him to cut the holes on the flywheel side for the timing caps.
just picked up a set about a month ago and they are awesome.

On a practical side it will be way cheaper to buy a Vstrom 1000 and sell the superhawk. But the tinkerer in me says you should attempt this project
btw Honda sold an ADV bike based on the VTR engine in Europe.

Very cool project, someone on here has case savers (made out of tubular steel) and with the weight of this bike may want to try dirt bike handle bars (cr 250 bend) with Superbike mounts. I would go with aluminum bark busters.

most of the bike is aluminum though where would you mount tubular steel? i definitly want dirtbike handlebar set up.. i was thinking even forks.. go all the way.. its a matter of which ones fit...
