Ok, I misread what you meant. Thanks, KC.
KC, your thread about your Hawk carb-work turned up in my investigations, it was definitely a pleasant surprise. The Hawks are such amazingly...
Thanks for the confirmation. I'd opened the float bowls to inspect what the jetting was (I'd been assuming the previous owner was overly...
These are HawkGT carbs, not my VFR (the Hawk's the one that's currently strewn about the garage, getting re-assembled). But, sample principles,...
It's a 3-4 turn S, at a pretty hefty downhill grade. Slowing enough to be able to accelerate through the turns means I'm hammering back on the...
Squirrel, just had the forks rebuilt by Lindemann Engineering. All new seals/bushings/springs. It was doing this before, and still is after....
LOL, I like that view on it. I'm definitely getting the front tire replaced soon.

We did the crankcase halves today (this a Hawk GT, with Left and Right crankcase halves). Simple green, paper towels, q-tips and a soft wire...

How's the mileage with the turbo diesel Disco?
I'm running motorcycle synth in my '86. It's happy as a clam. My slippage problems all went away after I disassembled and rebuilt the clutch...
I was able to fit a Givi Wingrack to my bike with the universal fit kit (big box of rods and clamps and spacers and bolts). Expensive, took 3...
How custom is the tail? does it use the same rear subframe? I bolted my rack up to the subframe, the exhaust brackets, and the rear turn signal...
Hey, if you have questions on that, lemme know. I can take more pics, or offer advice. It's held up great. I have a top-case on now, and have...
I work in Palo Alto (down on the peninsula from you), and live in Boulder Creek (Big Basin State Park). Hwy 9's my commute. It's a tough life....
