Hello everyone

Post by djk675 » Tue Apr 26, 2011 7:44 am

Hey everyone. My name is Danny and I am completely new to the world of vintage bikes, or atleast keeping them instead of flipping them. I got my start in the world of motorcycles on a 2006 Triumph Daytona 675. Soon there after, I decided I wanted a vintage bobber so I purchased a 1971 tiger rolling chassis that had been equipped qith an amen savior bolt on rear end. It's still sitting that way. I then bought a 1973 z1r, and then a 1972 suzuki gt750. My most recent endeavor has been Hondas. These are my first two running vintage bikes. I bought a 1966 305 Dream and a 1967 Superhawk as a pair from the original owner. The dream was fairly rough but it ran well so I let it go. The superhawk though is virtually flawless. I am a little confused though. The hawk I purchased has chrome fenders and side covers. All the ones I've seen pictures of online have silver fenders and side covers. Did Honda make a chrome version on black?

Welcome to the forum! Edit your location into your profile when you get a chance, and you'll get more responses. The late 67s had chrome fenders, but did not have chrome side covers. Lots of folks had parts chromed back in the day, maybe an Easy Rider thing?
