Ewwww.... all I like there is the red USD's and the slick pipes.
I've seen these eyesores before. Check the www.hawkgt.com archives for "spoked rims" and you'll find the place that makes them. It's just my opinion, but the Hawk is far too modern-looking a cafe racer to get the "Ton-Up-Boys" treatment. It's like fitting a springer front end with 7-inch stretch to a Hayabusa... the whole job just leaves you asking, "why?"
Leave the spokes for the Harley folks....1988 "BlackHawk" project

Lots of effort went ito that bike. Oil cooler and flush rear signals also look impressive.
Not to offend another Hawk owner, but i'm with Doug on this one. The spoke just dont seem to fit. As long as it pleases the builder, thats all that really matters.

I think that I have to agree with Doug also... the exhaust does look very nice though. That's about the fattest looking rear tire that I've ever seen on a Hawk.Brandon

You know... it wouldn't be so bad if the spokes were black.
I agree, nice mods all around. It's just... why spokes?1988 "BlackHawk" project

Its a nice looking bike, but the rims just scream give me attention. I'm not down with that. Go red, black, or even a brushed aluminum would look so much better. But to each their own I guess.90 Hawk. What can I do to make it better?

Looking for a real cafe racer hawk, I came across this topic...
I find the bike's finish pretty ugly, but I have to disagree with
Douglas on the spoked rims... Look at the new classic duc's... I Love
the spoked rims... But this bike is way too loud! (as far as the colors go)
But since the listserver is down... who makes those rims??1989 type I - F2 front end - Technoflex rear shock - K&N Filter - Dynojet kit - Braking Discs - Rizoma indicators - Rizoma mirrors - hiperform exhaust... hmmm what's next?!Comment
-
some predict a return to spoke wheels for racing purposes...the damping qualities are very desireable
I like it!Comment
-
...mustard and ketchup.... imagine if the seat were green
I say black it all out.
leave the exhaust and maybe polish the frame. black the rest out... rims, spokes and all.“Freedom is something that dies unless it's used”

1989 Hawk GT - As a whole, it is gone, but it now lives vicariously as a small part of several other Hawks on this website.

And the new ones are super light! Keep that roll resitance to a minimum!Originally Posted by hpwcycleservice
I must say I was never a fan of red and yellow together but hey I'm not riding it! The rims do look like some pretty sweet kit anyways!There are three kinds of people in this world, those who can count, and those who can't.
