Vince Lupo SuperHawk For Sale....

Post by Vince Lupo » Tue Jan 23, 2018 5:18 pm

Thought I'd post it here as well as in my 'Japan Meets Britain' thread. After much deliberation, I've decided to put my 1966 SuperHawk ('Japan Meets Britain') for sale. I've had the bike since 2004 and for those of you who've been following that thread all these years, I've done just a few things to the bike. Here is the list:

-BoreTech 358cc Big Bore Kit, rings, wrist pins, teflon buttons
-Compression 185psi (left) and 190psi (right)
-NOVA 5-speed road transmission (required removal of the kickstart assembly). Very few made!
-Custom-modified right engine cover to eliminate the hole for the kickstart shaft/lever -- much cleaner!
-Kibblewhite CB350 valve springs with APE titanium caps, head ported and polished
-Amal 626 Mk1 Concentric Carbs w/hardened anodised slides, brass drain plugs
-Norman Hyde TOGA 'Gold Star' mufflers
-Frank's Engineering fork tubes w/Triumph external springs and custom aluminum collars, progressive internal springs
-Rick's Motorsport Electrics stator and voltage regulator
-NOS rotor (earlier version without the 'L' stamped on it)
-Excel Takasago alloy rims w/custom red coachlines and black centers, stainless spokes
-Custom hand-painted checkered stripes on tank and fenders
-Custom hand-painted 'roadrunner' on custom chainguard, custom hand-painted decoration on side covers
-Charlie's Place electronic ignition
-Bill Selby 'bacon cutters' for CB77 (try finding another set!)
-Stadium bar-end mirror
-Magura clutch and brake levers - without mounts for mirrors, so much cleaner
-Modified gas cap from a CB350 -- so now it doesn't leak fuel like every other SuperHawk out there!
-Altette style horn
-Pedestrian slicer from pre-unit Triumph, custom 'SuperHawk' lettering
-Upper shock knobs from Norton Commando
-K&N air and vent filters
-Hagon shocks
-Barnett clutch and clutch springs
-Tsubaki 520 chain w/15-30 520 sprockets (Sprocket Specialists)
-John Tickle headlight brackets
-All chrome work done by Brown's Chroming, Paducah KY.
-Heidenau tires (3.25x18 rear, 2.75x18 front)
-Custom white piping on new seat cover
-CYB steering damper setup
-MotoBatt MB9U battery
-H4 replacement headlight bulb conversion
-LED taillight conversion
-'Rocky' sidestand
-Granturismo 'Flash' grips
-PJ Speedos handlebar mount for a pocket watch (and a 1960 Ingersoll pocket watch is currently installed)
-Earlswood tax disc holder - now exchanged for RAC badge
-Cappellini oil filter conversion kit.
-6mm Cappellini oil pump.
-Cappellini crankcase breather.
-Custom-machined oil-drain plug
-Wheel rims painted 'Vincent Black Shadow' style (black in the middle, red on the edges)

-Many NOS parts, new seals, gaskets and custom tweaks -- too many to remember! Plus I have most of the original parts I took off the bike as I worked on this 'art project'. Not that you'd necessarily want to put them back on this bike, but I have them.

The bike has been serviced by one mechanic, John Grainger here in Maryland, since day 1. As well, all the custom paint work has been done by Lee Hulteng, also here in Maryland. The bike currently runs great and very strong. It has about 34,000 total miles on it, but the engine is basically new right now (maybe less than 1,000 miles on it since the recent round of work was done). If you go to my thread in the 'Racers/Choppers' section you'll be able to read all the details, as well as see many photos.

The bike is currently located near Baltimore, MD. It will actually be at the York PA motorcycle swap meet this Sunday the 28th, if you happen to be in the area. Lee Hulteng will have a booth there and he will have the bike.

The bike is not a trailer queen -- I've put over 30,000 miles on the bike since I've owned it. It's been ridden to Mid-Ohio three times, and to Canada once. I also rode it to the AMCA show in Dutchess County, NY a few years ago. As a result, it does have its share of scratches, marks and a few paint chips here and there. But it is still gorgeous and makes no excuses.

PM me if you're interested in more details, price, etc, or want to arrange to see the bike in person.
