I rode my bike like this for a while when I first got it. Then after studying many hawk pics realized it was not right and figured out how to lift it. Rps really should have a manual they include with the bike on how to assemble.

I ended up shaving the seat more to my liking getting rid of the bump and leveling out the foam more so i wasnt sliding forward and compressing the family jewls ![]() Bought some good Faux Leather at Hobby Lobby in Tilton and recovered , what a difference, no more sliding. ![]()

i guess the design is like my vstrom they want our legs to hug the tank .i wish it had a straight seat ,but i would imagine when raise the forks wich was like the first thing we should have done ,will try something ,i am going to use piece of 2x6 an my jack an carefully raise up the bike an get it done by myself , with the bike up against the garage door in gear with a tire block,yes dont like the hump in the seat could cut that off

The fork boots you can decompress the pinch keepers and slide the top up to the bottom of triple tree. Yup Keene is a ways away...but i may be up for a long ride out to do some wheeling once i get the hawk all set up to where i am comfortable to do some distance. ![]()
