It took 2 years on and off most of the time waiting for parts and reading how to's but its finished maybe a few minor things left like chain and drive sproket. What do you guys think?

Don't see many white motorcycles on the road. Two questions:

1. Where is that mirror attached to?
2. What kind of blinkers are those? I really want to put some on mine.

Spargett you can find a cheat pair of universal 2 wire or single wire signals on ebay $10 for a set of 4 the flasher relay does not come with it you can fine one at your local hardware store, as for the mirriors the perches where taped out to fit the the size of mirrior thread and the mirriors where carefully bent on a vise so you can see past your knees. You where saying you don't see to many (Pearl) white bike on the road, exactly I like to stand out of the crowd, but my next one will either be denim (flat/satin) black or denim army green or a mix of both.

The white rims are a nice touch - gives it a really vintage look. Bike looks great bud.

flipper

Beautiful bike. Can't stand it, gotta ask, are you gonna put flipper/mudguard back on rear fender? Just doesn't look like a superhawk without that flipper, in my humble opinion. Thanks, Lee

As others have said, Great Job on That One!!! Even with the "British" type Reg. Plate on the front fender. I too was wondering about the "Traditional Super Hawk mudflap. And, is just me, or is the rear brake cable not hooked up yet? Not picky mind you, just noticed, that's all. Sure am loking those white rims myself, as the look goes also. Always great to see another Super Hawk on the scene and in such a stunning look at that.

Take care, Bill
