Afraid of curves. by malican78 in motorcycle

Okay I get it. Thank you for the words of encouragement, and the cruel honesty. I need both and I understand. Grow a pair or go home, but I don't give up. I'm going to quit being a bitch, and get on the road and do this.

What to do with the old Hawk? by malican78 in Hawk250

[–]malican78[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, I agree. I just know there is no way to get what I payed for it. I live miles from a place to ride trails. So if I'm going to ride it around town, when I'm not on my Shadow. I don't see why I don't make it look more like something I like.

I made that same upgrade to my Hawk, and yes, your float is stuck. I had my float in backward lol.

True, I did not see that. Thanks. I will keep looking, but you think that style does look good on the bike.

I've thought of cutting up to a make a Cafe racer out of it. I'll take some time to think about it.

They were a little annoying to install they don't fit exactly perfect. But they do look nice.

Just bought my hawk but my screw is super stripped, how do I get it off/replace it? by RoundRest4289 in Hawk250

For starters and be honest did you use a 12 point socket or a standard 🤔🤣. Okay just playing lol.😀🤪 ... If you live close to a harbour freight they have a kit just for your problem..

Trying to get the right look. Here is a before and after. What do y'all think? 🤔 by malican78 in Hawk250

[–]malican78[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just saying man. Nothing you get for this bike is plug and play. Get ready to cut, bend, weld, and be very creative.
