I just had to share the pics of this bike with you guys.  This is a link to a thread on the Super Hawk Forum.  Just awsome what this guy did.

BTW, the Hawk is known as a Fire Storm in England, which is where this member lives, I believe.

VFR single sided swing arm, USD fork conversion, steering stabilier, fully custome exhaust.  Amazing workmanship.

Edit: Sorry.  VFR sssa.

That is really clean. I am totally digging those rearsets too.

The swing arm is pretty much bolt on, but you have to have fully costom exhaust and shock linkage.  That bike has Ohlins on it.  All the trick bits I've ever seen offered on one bike.  Plus a fully polished rear wheel, undertail, exhaust.  He has a TON of money invested in that thing.

I love it.

Doesn't look like enough clearance between the tire and exhaust.

There is a lot of stuff you have to route through a really small area.  The VFR conversion is pretty common and trust me, this is by far the cleanest one I've seen with the most clearance with the exhaust.  It looks nearly factory compared to most of them. 

I'd love to see that SoCal Hawk, Pablo.  I bet he is one the Forum.

I'm sure  he is, if its a national forum. I dont remember any forums-just an email list serve-back when I was researching the superhawks. I think his name is Richard. Yellow wheels on a red bike. Ohlins, blah, blah, blah....clean bike. fast rider.

That sounds familiar.  I think I have seen that.  It made me want to powder coat my wheels.
