Finally installed the new muffler. My spring mounts on the connecting pipe were a little close for the springs that came with it, so I ordered...
They are extremely low maintenance machines, especially the S with shaft drive. Change oil, ride, repeat. The only issue the S and CBX engines...
It does have hyd self adjusting valves. Same motor as the S, but 750cc.
A good friend bought one properly imported. Its everything to love about a Nighthawk S (which is a lot), and then throw in some Euro awesomeness....
I remember that VF1000R. I think I messaged him regarding the mix of 85 and 86 bodywork and that he might want to adjust his ad from "Completely...

I used the VF500 cush on one of my wheel swaps using a VTR1000F wheel (which uses the same cush as a F2). But I converted everything over to 20mm...
Looks great! While not usually a fan of gold wheels, they look awesome with the green.
The Hawk is still in the "Mod" phase. Just need to finish retrofitting the cartridge internals to the CB-1 Fork tubes and bleed the front brakes....
New Muffler for the RC26. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] The old Sudco muffler was a "Non-Rebuildable" race can. Welded seam on the bottom and no...
Those hoses just vent the carbs to atmosphere. They go back and down to nothing on 49 State bikes.
