2004 Superhawk
Howdy...I've been a member of the forum for a few months but haven't posted much. I'm from Melbourne Australia and I bought a 2004 Hawk in North Carolina a few months ago. I haven't seen the bike yet but you might have seen a thread by Cheapbastard about riding the bike across the country to deliver it for me. I arrive in LA in about 6 weeks to ride it on a cross country trip of my own (and back).
https://www.superhawkforum.com/forum...ad.php?t=19494
Anyway....I have been searching the tech forums about problems that I might encounter and found lots of information about CCT's and R/R's. I have come to the conclusion (from my research) that the 2004 models have had these problems corrected with upgraded OEm equipment. Am I correct in these assumptions. The bike has 18,000 miles on it now and will have about 25,000 miles by the time I have crossed the country twice.
Are there any other issues I should be concerned about, or should I just ride it like I stole it.
Thanks in advance for your help.

The RR is better but still not "fixed". The CCT's seem to be still a problem; ie. a wear replacement item. AFAIK, about 20K-25K intervals. I'd put manuals on it now b4 running across the country...
I don't need any Meds

Legman,
I still haven't done my own CCTs with 30K on my own bike. But I've got a garage to work in, any tools you'll need for the job and free evenings to help out. I live in Sun City (92585) which isn't exactly LA, but you're welcome nonetheless. PM me if you're interested.
