Thanks I will email them I thought those were RC51 adjusters
Some places refer to the RC as a VTR1000 and the Hawk as a VTR1000F

SlowHAWK is an unknown quantity at this point
I'm sure you know but the RC51 has a MUCH larger diameter rear axle.... so I don't think they will be compatable....

You may wanna cross reference bikes that have similar/swappable rear rim with the Hawk... like the CBR 900... might be a place to start.

They ahve a separate listing for the RC51s. My question is why spend that much money for a chain adjuster? What will it do that the stock ones will not?

the stock ones ( mine at least ) are mickey mouse... loosy goosy... etc.

a nice adjuster will have ZERO play whether moving the wheel forward or backwards.
mine has a dead spot where the screw is loose & not moving the wheel, it makes making small adjustment in the other direction difficult.

right about the pic Tim, but it`s the same pic used for a whole bunch of models (one of those: "article may not be exactly as shown" type of things...)

They don't make any for the superhawk... It's that simple... Sorry... And that is straight from themselves... And there are none that is a direct fit according to them...

With the chain adjusters you also get the benefit of the spool parts.

I'm tempted to say "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT TWEETY" becasue I found this (http://www.gillestooling.com/en/motorradtyp.php), but I'll slow my roll and wait for the reply from Gilles Tooling to confirm this.
