SUPER FAST SUPE HAWK

[DONZIE]

EMO or whoever it appears some guy here in New Orleans claims he used to race super hawks way back when. He claims to have a couple "trophies" / old parts like roller cam heads with roller rockers etc. He also claims he has an early mechanical fuel injection set up for a super hawk. Were there such items back then.... anybody?

[teazer]

Yes.

Harmon and Collins used to sell a cam kit that came with roller rocker arms which we all lusted after. Hilborn (sp?) used to sell a mechanical fuel injection system but I have only seen them on a CB750. I guess they could have been adapted to fit on a twin.

Yoshimura sold cams and large valves and lightened cranks.

Honda had a Race kit including CR style tank, 4 speed CR or 5 speed trans and a rather mild "race" cam.

It would be nice to see pictures of some of that old stuff.

As Teaser said "Harmon and Collins used to sell a cam kit that came with roller rocker arms which we all lusted after." there were several companies offering race/performance cams and HC did offer magnesium rockers/followers and I have a CL77 engine with that set-up in it.
I've never seen a injection set-up on a CB/CL72/77 but lots of race things were used back in the time these engines were the "Hot Set Up" for competition in many types of racing. .............lm

I personally know somebody that had one fully tricked out that would walk past a z1 on the superslab. 130+ mph.
Six speed and all. That very bike, or one quite similar, sold on ebay about eight years ago and fetched less than 1500.

Same guy that I got a hpi 940 norton from that romped all comers at several az dragstrips and the only bike that ever beat it back in the day, was a turbo'd cb750 hondamatic.

Pix of all the goodies on hand being withheld until teazer steps up with some requested details about his 305.
