    Hey that looks nice. I need a new clutch for my Hawk. We have matching rear bodywork. :)

    Oh Honda... sometimes they chose to just make life more difficult. Of course you have to un-stake and remove the center clutch nut just to replace the plates on a Hawk. Kinda like when they went with a large conical clutch spring (long dis-continued) on the VF1000 instead of a normal spring set-up. I'm sure it was to emulate the set-up from "racing" to make clutch changes easier.

    While I do like that blue, I'm gonna go a color that could have been done by Honda. Metallic Silver (not too bright) with Charcoal grey / red pinstriped graphics. Engine blacked out with red valve covers.

    well and properly done, nothing far out, not too showy, practical improvements without going ($$$$) overboard. :Wink:
