The Race Hawk

[Machismo111]

Hey everyone. A while back I got a street hawk with some minor mods to make into a race bike, and I've just now started actually doing stuff to it! So I thought I'd post some pictures. This project is going to take FOREVER so don't expect to watch the thing change over the weeks.

Here's a before just for reference:


And here's her at the moment:


Right now Im working on the forks, replacing seals, oil, and planning on getting some race tech internals while they're apart. I've got a lighter subframe going on along with a neat lookin tail section. And for coolness' sake I've acquired a vaccum operated fuel pump. In the future I'm planning on some fairings, maybe a 700cc kit, some headwork, aaand a buncha other stuff that I cant think of right now, but that's at a time when I actually have money . Anyways, Ill update as things change, enjoy =)

OH! And a larger radiator off I believe a GSXR, plus new paint all around!

NICE. If you plan on boring her out to 700cc, though, talk to JD Hord. He's a regular on the Hawklist and does it for listers all the time. Bigtime Hawk racer, and nobody knows Hawks like JD.

Precisely my plan. Most of what I'm able to do is because of my brother Dave, and that would be too! He's got an engine out of an old race hawk that broke the crank and he said he'd allow me to use the cylinders out of it at one time =). I don't want to take it for granted, but if he'd still let me I'd be kinda on the way there, if they're not damaged at least.

And it would be JD for the heads if I did have em done.
