I tucked them in pretty tight so it should be ok - needless to say there will be no quick rides in shorts on this one!

Byrdman, would you be willing to make another set? How much would it cost? I think my buddy Deez would be interested in a set as well. We are both in the Bay Area.

Long overdue update...

I finally got around to tearing the Superhawk back down for paint and completion. Not too much to write about so I'll get right to the pictures.

In the booth laying down the red.

Byrdman, I am following your project with great interest. Please keep the pictures coming. Your craftsmanship and vision has me on the edge of my seat. I can't wait to see the engine and high pipes mounted. Thanks for sharing, Scram64

Thanks for the compliments guys!

I actually finished the bike last night and took it to a VJMC bike show today - talk about down to the wire. I entered in the jap. 499 and under class and took second place! I absolutely lost my mind. I won a cool little clutch basket trophy and a membership to the VJMC. Needless to say this has been an awesome weekend.

I'll post up some other completion pics when I take some but here is one from the show.
