Has anyone tried fitting either a Ducati 916 or VFR 400 rear wheel to a Hawk?
Both of these use a centre nut as opposed to the VFR750's 4 stud, so would seem like an easier swap, although I don't know much about either.
Also thinking of a Ducati 900ss rear shock, as the ss has no linkage might not neet to change the spring. Seems to be slightly longer but am more concerned about the rigidly fixed resevoir clearing the Hawk frame. Has anyone else tried this swap?
Finally, saw this pic and thought that it looked like a good idea. Instead of moving the whole footrest, this guy has left the top mounting bolt in place and rotated around that, so giving some backward and upward movement. Would still need some sort of bracket for the lower mounting bolt, but probably less work and more of a stock look.
