Do not sell your Hawk! I sold my Hawk for what I had into it and I miss it. I have a Buell Ulysses and a BMW F650, both are dual sport bikes and I am considering buying another Hawk. I find myself coming back here more than I should now that my Hawk gone.

Hawk update
Well after a month cousin Jay finally got around to fixing the flat front tire on mean green. He hasn't really been motivated to do anything since the passing of our dear friend Lowell Mayle. And he's got a boat load of upgrades/parts to install.
We found the culprit to be the second spoke from the valve stem which was very loose. I wonder about the quality of Chinese spokes because we checked all of them on the initial build and now 3 had really stretched. We put 2 rim strips on it and replaced the tube with a heavy duty Kenda. Hopefully he won't have any tire trouble for a bit. The bike fired right up and sounded good, but jay is notorious for forgetting to turn the fuel petcock on. It happens so often it's actually an issue, and I've offered to send him to counseling. And this was our first opportunity to use the new motorcycle jack/lift. Fellow Hawkers RUN (dont walk) to your computer and order this product! I was skeptical at first, never had much luck with screw type scissor jacks, but this thing is the real deal. It's easy to crank, has adjustable frame mounts, and lifts 1100lbs from 3" to 17" (not counting the 2" frame mounts). This thing is quality built and so easy to turn I can put an adapter on my impact driver and crank it up or down in seconds. And at $49 shipped it's worth it's weight in gold. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0186...b_b_asin_title

Does anyone know where I can find the brake handle back plate here the mirrors thread into? I laid mine down last week and broke one.

Either a new master cylinder or you could use a mirror mount next to start button, if you fall it won’t break the master cylinder

This is a Hensim which is the china name for the Haosen USA brand
EFI counterbalance 150 I think it is. National 4 which is EFI and a bit more became mandatory for road bikes in China I suspect that’s why they also made a DKX - sell more from investment into EFI |
