Dave, I'm from SF, so I'm always in the city. We'll have to meet up sometime. Maybe I can roll up as soon as I get this hawk finished.

That would be very cool! I have three friends in SF with Superhawks, all in thier 20s, and early 30s. The west coast young guns?

Seeing as how my bike came with only the center stand, I'm very interested in the grab handle. I don't see where it would go on the frame, does anyone know? There's one up on eBay right now. It says the rear clamp is missing as well.

Look at the attached picture, the handle is right in front of the shock mounted on the down tube. G

Quick question. What do you guys use to lubricate the throttle housing? I made the mistake of spraying some WD-40 in there once which leaked into the starter button area, therefor completing the circuit and forcing the starter to kickover everytime the ingnition was turned on. Oops.

Now that I have all cleared out, I'd love to find out what I'm suppose to use.

I use either white grease or black high temp grease. .....lm
