Congratulations on the bike. ... Ride safe and have fun:tup:

Looks great!

Check seal with airbox looks short but sure it fine. Just one of many things to check with new China hawk platter special with egg roll.

Thank you for the clarification. I was also thinking the same thing. I also didn't realize the center knobs on the rear tire as tall as a dime.

Happy new Hawk day!

some nice knobby tires.
the TT's are much more street oriented.

if you plan any off pave travel, hold onto those tires! watch wet pavement, but for anything other than that they are seriously good! just don't overinflate on gravel, when set to mfg spec, it can be like riding on marbles! NOT a lot of fun. air down a bit and they grip like baseball spikes :) hell, i routinely cross running rivers/creeks w round rock bottoms and they do an amazing job.:)

Enjoy the new ride. Mine provides way more fun the its purchase price.

I've got about 1600 street miles on my Hawk, and the knobbies are holding up better than expected. I figured id just wear them out and then go with some Shinkos.

How many miles are expected out of tires like these?

about 1601 miles, then they turn to dust :)

lol - i'm looking at the shinko 244 as the replacement for the TT stock tires when the time comes

The color a little off but it has a spark arrestor. :clap:

Awesome color change. Looks awesome.

nice where did you get that colorized version of that exhaust?
