Thanks! I love the work and the pleasure of riding it! Nothing like parking next to a bunch of newer bikes, sitting about 20 yards away, and just watch as people walk up and try to figure out what it is.

I owned one of these RC31's before. I believe the big weakness besides way too much engine braking, when you close the throttle. Were the cylinder heads themselves. Originally came on the 500 ascott. Honda just bolted them onto the Nt 650. Something about forgoing emissions testing. Was always curious, never researched it. Honda VT750 also used a 3 valve cylinder design. I've also seen an abomination Hawk with a 2-stroke RZ 350 engine. Two big gains from that was a weight loss of around 100 lbs, and no more abundance of over engine braking you closed the throttle. Beautiful aluminum frame and swing arm is what this bike was blessed with.

Absolutely beautiful bike. The best looking Hawk I 've ever seen hands down.

All it needed was a "custom" set of steering head bearings. If you call up all-balls and tell them what frame you are trying to put what front end on, they will let you know what bearings/bearing kit to get for what you are trying to do. The R6 has a longer steering stem then most Honda bikes. This made me have to put a bit of a spacer in (an inner race from an old stem bearing) to take up the space between the top and bottom triples.

Can you walk me through what went in to getting the Ducati Monster seat on the Hawk? How much modifying of the subframe, what type of seat/year of ducati it came from? I'm wanting to do a similar mod. Bike looks amazing!

@CHARLIETWW Its only worth it if someone pays. Depending on what is done and the quality of the work to the bike... it might be. But you can get a beat up stock Hawk for not too much if you look. The first hawk I bought was $100 and needed a new countershaft. So I bought a pretty sad Hawk for $700 but it had a motor with only 3000 miles on it and swapped the motor. Then I found a incomplete project Hawk for $800 and took the R6 front off.

For the yaymaha r6 front end, did it fit nicely without any mods? Did it fit like a 954 cbr/cbr 600 would fit?

@Celco217 11 жыл бұрын

Unless you just happen to find a sweet deal on a front end (got my R6 front [~$700], Fox shock [~$400], and titled bike [~$1000] all for $800 total) I would just look for a Honda front end. Most Honda bikes use pretty standard dimensions on their front ends. From what I have seen/read, frames have the same stem sizes and thickness on the frame. Do your measuring and research and you'll be able to make it happen.

Your Honda looks really really unique and nice. How much does it cost to do all mods? It now looks like a naked super bike priced above $10,000.

@Celco217 12 жыл бұрын

@CHARLIETWW Not that I really would like to think about it, I probably have close to $3500 into this bike with EVERYTHING (price of parts bikes minus sold off parts). When I fix up and sell this other bike as complete for $1500ish that total price will be less... the way I justify this in my mind.
