New SuperHawk Owner

[fab60]

Hi guys! Been lurking for several years and finally bought a Superhawk! Anyways the bike is in pretty good shape...the only thing i have concerns about is the correctness of the bike. Its a 1965 hawk but i think the speedo is wrong...anyone know what years corresponds which speedo? I have the speedo where they both go clockwise and i have a feeling its the wrong one! haha....i was too excited when i bought the bike and over looked things....i know i know shame on me! Anyways i just wanted to say hello and hopefully i will be able to make some friends here on Honda305.



Cheers

Hey G,


I just picked up the bike tonite, ill take some photos when there is light out! First things first, i know for sure the seat a replica version but of bad quality....does anyone know where i can get a seat with the surrounding trim or even a decent CYB replica seat? Im so excited right now I'm wanting to buy everything tonite! HAHA

Hey G,

Well took the first maiden ride out and i have encountered a problem. The rear brake light keeps blowing fuses, i had to disconnect the switch so that i could have at least the rear brake light on so i could ride it around the block. So does this mean the brake switch is either broken/malfunctioning?

More likely you have a wiring short in that circuit. All the switch does is connect two wires together. Trace the wires from the switch.

I'd bet that replica seat might be the problem for your tail light blowing fuses. If it's a real crappy design it might have worn the wires that run over/into the rear fender and are shorting.

Congrats on buying a hawk. They are a blast
