The rest of my parts might just be here by Saturday. I also ordered a different headlight housing that is a bit smaller front to back to see if I can't move it up more. This one is so deep that it hurts the lock cylinder and pushes against the cluster wires a bit.

I have been ignoring my TBR7 since I got my Hawk legal, and today, I figured I would roll it out, and put the brace on the forks, I had to trim it down a good bit, and put it in the vice, and do some minor bending, but I got it on, and during the process of putting my SpeedO cable back in it's wire bail, I noticed that a flange on the triple tree was mashing into it pretty good, and had ground through the plastic sheath, and was trying to flatten the inner steel sheath. I see on the Facebook sights that several have speed O cable issues, and maybe that's why. I looked at my brake line, and it's not damage, but routed wrong . According to looking at my Hawk, it's supposed to have a wire loop up on the backside of the triple tree for it to run through, but it's missing. I went for a ride a while ago, but it's so windy, I didn't go far. I know the forks won't twist as easy now because, before I did the brace, I could put a little pressure on the wheel with my knee, and grab the handlebar, and actually see them twist. I never really had any issues with the handling of the bike though, and it was extremely windy today, so I couldn't really appreciate any difference it may make, but it's on now, and I will probably end up making one out of UBolts for the Hawk. They have 4 1/2 "UBolts at Tractor supply for about $10.00 each, but I don't know yet if they are deep enough for the Hawk's larger tire. I went ahead, and ordered a 295 mm rear shock, but don't know whether I'll use it on the Hawk, or TBR7, and use the adjustable shock from the TBR7 on the Hawk. I hate to drop the Hawk down too far, but I went to thinking that if the rear is lower, then I can slide the forks up a couple inches in the triple tree, and that would possibly make them more difficult to flex.

Sorry about that little picture, I must have sized it to 200, instead of 1000, and I didn't remove it because I was not sure which one it was.
