Well another chapter may be opening for my little bird. I'am in the process of working a deal for another Hawk. We are close to agreeing on a price. Its going to be a donor then sold as a well set up Hawk.

What it has.

A 700cc built motor
F2 forks wheel and brakes
Fox twin clicker
Rare 2Bro's left side exit full exhaust(opens up the view to the wheel)
And some other Misc goodies

What it needs

Owner kicked up a big rock that cracked the bottom of the right side case. Its currently is JB welded but leaks a little oil were the gasket and crack come together

Battery and clutch.

My plan is to take the exhaust and carbs and use them on mine for the time being. Pull the 700 out of the new one tear it down get the case welded then back together and place it into mine. If it runs fantastic my stock motor will go into the new hawk and up for sale she will go.

My Hawk is on its way to being Bad Ass.
 
The Hawk was a bike slightly ahead of its time and I don't think it was well received and appreciated. Looking at it now? I'd ride that! :D
 
Picked up the other hawk on Friday. Appearance wise it was better than expected. The wife laid her eyes on it and said we will keep this one and sell the blue one. Told her I cant do that so the are both going to stay.

Got it running finally this morning. I have some temporary repairs in the carbs to get it running. Your can tell there is a big difference in power compared to the stock mill. Since they are going to be his and hers. I'll ride it for a week or to to see what other issues pop up then tear her down to the frame sort out what parts are going on what bike and rebuild.
