    My Reddish Hawk

    Some pics of My Hawk:







    As you can see it took some beatings in its life (under me, that is )

    but it goes like a crackhead on speed. and I don`t really care for optics anyway...
    What was the start of all this?
    When did the cogs of my Hawk begin to turn?
    Perhaps it is impossible to grasp the answer now,
    from deep within the flow of time...

    But, for a certainty, back then,
    I loved it so much, yet hated so many.
    I hurt others and was hurt myself...

    Yet even then, I rode like the wind,
    whilst my laughter echoed
    under cerulean skies...

      54,5 BHP, and 58, 1NM of torque. Nissin 4 piston brake caliber, steel braking line, K&N open air filter pods, speedthrottle, SB bar, WB suspension at the front, and a huge Bos exhaust. and let`s not forget all the optical damage

        Bos exhaust is going. too big, too heavy and the bends in the exhaust curves are too tight.

        BSM Vampire carbon is the new sigar:

            The Hawk has a mono swing. That means I want to show it off of course :P

                  That`s the idea

                  I`ll post a pic when the mounting is finished.

                    UPDATE:

                    Exhaust project finished:





                    It`s loud, it`s nasty, it`s good looking and I love it.

                    won 3 NM (eurpean standard) without adjusting needles and such. also, it draws false air a the t-piece. I`ll fix that later. the 14th of septembre it should be completely done. then I`ll fit a larger rear sprocket and stronger clutch springs.

                    then the only problem reamaing is that I shatter my nuts everytime I close the throttle
