I'd just like to say thanks to everyone on this site for helping me get my Hawk back on the road (esp. theside00 for the front rim at a great price!).

Lessons Learned:

1. F4 rims won't fit, F3 rims will.

2. When a seller on Ebay says "excellent condition" the term is relative. Apparently cracked dust seals and pooched forks seals constitute excellence to some riders.

3. What I thought to be misalignment of the rim/rotors causing brake drag were actually the pistons getting stuck in the bores and a cleaning cleared up most of it. (Once again thanks to the site and the search feature).

Ride safe.

 

Glad to hear it worked and to help a fellow superhawk rider out. Hope your weather is better then down here though havent been able to ride for weeks stupid rain.
