We've been lucky to have enjoyed a few days of spring-like weather here in the Carolina's. This beauty is living up to my expectations. Hard to believe it's 41-years old...

Nothing like a project to keep you busy, slowly draining funds out of the wallet! - spacetiger
Our Hawks have all the power any mature, sensible rider can use on any street or highway without carrying around excessively unnecessary big-bore weight and power - squirrelman
Bike builds can be and most time are art and expression. To take something mass produced and impersonal and make something personal that you can't stop staring at as you walk away. There is nothing I find more satisfying than looking at something cool and beautiful and thinking "I made that". - 6 -
Credit to you, immaculate bike, love that exhaust . Have you owned since new? -
Ha, no, I wish. I was in my mid 20’s prepping for marriage and trying to convince my bride that I needed to continue riding (a ‘77 CB550 at that time), when these F’s were introduced. I fell in love w/these bikes (Fast Freddie, you betcha) but that wasn't on the wife’s radar. Kids were on the way and disposable income just wasn’t there.
Fast forward to 2019 - new life, new wife - new bike. Picked this up in central Florida and started on a four year journey to resto-mod. That’s the good thing about advancing in years, that disposable income is a little easier to come by, providing the ability to go back and pick up some of the toys you missed out on.
Glad you like it, I’m very proud of her.
C’mon spring!

Nothing better than taking a first spring ride on your old classic, Weather is picking up here so I’ll take this old gall out for a spin. 82D643BA-81E9-422C-AA88-7CD00C3C3E52.jpgComment
