Tweety,
I really,really,really like your bike. Your suspension mods are first class and in my opinion will transform a great engine/moderate chassis/cheap suspended and braked bike,into a very competent machine.Its the kind of bike where I would use Jesus as a brake marker,ride hard till you see Jesus then BRAKE!! Enjoy it.....

WOW! How hard was it to get the swing arm on there? I would love to do that. I can't stand the SH swing arm.

It's more or less a bolt-on application...

All tough it should be noted that I re-welded a mount on mine unnecessarily, I figured out the "bolt-on" later...

tweety, you are the mad, manic, modding machine. Hell a few more mods and it won't be a hawk anymore. Then you'll have to leave us and move onto the "Unofficial OCD Forum For Those With No Impulse Control".

Actually as I was taking those pictures out on the lawn my father was sitting with a cup of coffee just outside the shot, trying to figure out what I had left stock so far...

He came up with a rather short list... The fairings, the radiators (they are stock, only moved them), the tank (on the to do list) and a fair part of the engine block (also on the to do list)...

If anyone can think of more parts let me know... I lost count...

The Swedish VTR forum/club gave me dispense to be in the club all tough there are less VTR parts than others, just cuz they want to see my next crazy idea...

Ok, since I got my stuff painted, I will give this a go.

Custom Painted, by me, Front Fender and Belly Pan
1998 Italian Red Superhawk
Hi-mount Black Aluminum Jardine Exhaust
DID 530 Chain
Stock Sprockets
Haknslash's LED Taillight Mod
AEP CCT's
Puig Windscreen
Flush Mount Front turn signals
Stainless Steel Braided Brake Lines

Everything else I am slowly working on. Sometime along the way, it will be a totally different Superhawk!

Hmm... Those diodes up front, how are they used? as low beam or as position light? or just by an on-off switch?

BTW I like the idea as such, but I'm not sure I liked the actual position of them... Looks a bit out of place on the VTR to me...

They are used instead of the side light plan to remove the side light and smooth it over. Best bit is a grand total of £5 to do the mod.

No they came from a local car shop but i lost the packaging

They don't just flash they start at the inside of the mirror and light one at a time to the end then start again like a Knight rider type effect. Got noticed a lot.

While I am tempted to vote for RedVTR's bike (red? what?) just because he's got stock signals (and I thought I was the only one), and I'm tempted to vote for VTRSteve's cause it's cool, I have to go for Tweety's bike - so many mods that, if I could swing it, I'd do to mine. Nice bikes all, tho.

However you find joy is what's important. Whether it's riding or tinkering (or a little of both).
