Another Dutchie

[Dash]

Hi all, I`m new here. I`ve been riding a `89 Hawk for over 2 years now and I still love it. it lacks a bit of punch so you`ll usually see me griping about that.


I`m from Holland so excuse my crappy english btw. My hawk is a red (more or less) US model form `89. the mods I`ve got so far include:

- SB handlebar
- Steel braking line for the front brake
- 4 piston Nissin brake caliper
- speedgas throttle
- K&N airfilter pods
- I have a gizmo installed that alters the ignition timing. I have no idea what it`s called in english though...
- I removed the centre stand because it`s heavy and it made me bounce around roundabout.
- exhaust is a Bos oval aluninum high mount.

that`s about it I guess...

Thanks dash. It's just a pity I won't be able to ride it for 2 weeks. My forks have been sent off to be re-chromed I'm getting withdrawal symptoms already and I only took it in to the shop yesterday

that`s why you should always have a pair of spare forks

yep. I`ve been searching the internet for a decent Hawk/Bros board but they were either in German

or they were dead. Glad I found this board with active members and a lot of know-how.
