Setting the right rider sag will ensure that you have the proper amount of compression travel left to handle bigger bumps. Combine the two aspects together and you will be amazed at how different your bike feels. Try changing out the fork oil, and you will start to understand a little bit better. Quote:
Most of the vibrations I was feeling in the seat was from the tires. They may be 80/20 tires, but they are still big blocky treads. They begin to let you know it past 60mph.

Although it didn't move me, I was surprised at at the amount of push it put on the bike due to light feel on the road at 50ish... I don't think I'm ready for 80! |

Seriously i would be interested to see what you could milk out of the hawk if you were a slim build changed the sprockets for max top speed and fabricated a plexiglass shell basically on in to negate most of the wind drag. I bet you could get these things flying. It's a lot of work but it would be a cool project to see someone do who actually has the time to care to do this lol.

Well, I am built like a mach truck, so that throws that idea out the window. Plus, by the time you got it to the point it could maybe do 100mph, it wouldn't be a Hawk anymore.
It took a custom cam, piston, and head porting with really high compression for CCW to get their "Tha Heist" land speed bike to go over 90mph on the salt flats with 23whp.

Maybe we could just cut you in two horizontally and outfit the shifter with a lever so you could shift using your hands..I mean losing your waist down would probably help, i’m sure youre willing to take a sacrifice for science lol.
