There it is wish my old one still looked that good my cousins have it now and it sits outside half tore apart rotting away.I almost took it back to restore it but figured it would cost to much.I believe mine was an 85 or 86 as it was liquid cooled.it was a very fast bike for 9 year old kid.I also had a Honda Fat Cat during that time.

there are advantages to being a noob rider. I am sure my forks are not stiff enough but I am too inexperienced to know that and so I am saving big money and time on just adapting to it. Why bend the bike to your will when you can bend yourself to the will of the bike?

On my Hawk, and TBR7,I installed PVC preload spacers, and replaced the fork oil with 20 weight. I also put fork braces on both, as well as an adjustable rear shock on the Hawk, the TBR7 already had one. I still have the Hawk, and I am pleased with the suspension. I bought these bottles of oil, and put exactly half a bottle in each fork. The price has increased a little ($1.50 increase), but still not bad concidering the miles it will see. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0022...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Ditto! Ignorance can be bliss.
