Yes it has a dent. I will hopefully fiberglass it over.
Those are my new Pilot Power RACE tires in Med compound and the RC51 tail ( I still have to fab up some mounts)
I will either use that or do something with the 600rr tail I have.

getting closer every day, nice tires .... and VERY nice front end. man you and gino, damn you both for your front brakes (just jealous that's all). you better use them to embarrass SV's
Tires are nice. Did you say MEDIUM? Can you swap them for a soft front and MED/SOFT rear? That is what I ran on for the championship... They might be a little hard for what a HAWK needs. On the other hand they will last you an entire season...
Dent what dent. You will find that is the standard for all race HAWKS.
I doubt I can swap em. I could still use em for rains
What about a Soft Pirelli for my other rims?
What should I get?

"I'd rather ride a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow."
So this past weekend Gino and Scott came up and we ended up swapping motors in my Hawks!
My street Hawk (KuwaitiHawk) was rumored to have the 700 motor and since my sale fell through, what the heck! Now I have a 700 motor in the trackhawk! (I think..., I still have to confirm this)
We also put all the above bits on the TrackHawk and got the Kuwaitihawk running better than ever! (It is amazing what a little carb cleaning will do.)
Now I am trading the Kuwaitihawk for another trackbike with some tasty bits on it that I will remove and put on my Trackbike then sell it for $2000.
Sweet!!

and you're gonna want to raise that seat height.... or go to the gym a lot (the low seat height kills your quads)
Looks like Doc went to the Chad Falcone School of Sticker Placement.
I like his seat height, mine was pretty low as well and IMO it's mint. Granted I monkey all over the machine. See pic below for comparison.
DOC: You are going to need a larger radiator to cool that motor down on the Track. The stock unit ain't gonna cut it. Dig a Honda F3 radiator out of the bin off eBay or something ($25-50) and you'll be good to go. If you haven't already you can ditch the radiator fan as well.
I started the gym today. Quads are on the list. I may add some padding though.
I have an F3 radiator that is going on there.
Yep looks like I have to move some stickers. I also have to fix that dent in the tank to make it pretty. Although I also have a VFR tank coming (just in case).
Woodcraft rearsets, some last minute wiring then get my tires mounted and I am all set!
I can also run my GS in the PT race.

Oh and I have to bend that pipe up some for more clearance.

That GS is rather illegal in Ptwins anyway. While you could probably sneak it thru as a Novice (like Chad did once or twice), in Am/Ex they'd be all over you about it. No dice.
