Hawk a little less green.

pcspecialist · 08-05-2016, 07:58 PM

I liked how the TT250 extended the tank color into the side panels some so I did the same on my Hawk. The only reason they would make the side panel two piece is because they were meant to be two color.

I like it but you need to pull those fork boots up the bottom fork clamp. Is that red on swing arm reflective?

pcspecialist · 08-05-2016, 10:36 PM

yes, the red tape on the swingarm and the silver tape on the forks is very reflective. I got it at Harbor Freight Tools.

It is one of these, they appear to be the same:

I want that shifter for my bike. I also noticed that that shifter is very low and that would put your toes pointing at the ground because it below the frame and the foot peg. I'm just trying help.

pcspecialist · 08-06-2016, 12:33 AM

shifter is exactly where I want it, parallel with the foot peg.

Good with the reflectors, did the same with my swing arms. Both red silver together on mine. They blaze at nite. Extra safety.

Great looking bike man, I look at it every time I start getting frustrated with mine haha. Get's me motivated again.

2LZ · 08-06-2016, 10:36 AM

Man....that's a sharp looking Hawk. Tastefully done, nice contrasting with the blend of black/green.

Where'd you get your canister again? HFT? I'd like to replace the little tool kit on Mrs. 2LZ TT but don't want something that stands out too much or is a funny color. That looks perfect. How'd you strap it on?

You can buy those at Tractor Supply. Most towns have a TSC outlet.

Sure changed the look of that bike .... well done

pcspecialist · 08-07-2016, 12:05 PM

I wonder why RPS decided to make both pieces the same color instead of extending the tank color into the front portion of the rear side covers?

Thanks, I missed the links. I recommend that you put a space between links and pics, so old guys like me can see them.
