WOW. OUTSTANDING.

One of the finest looking Superhawks I have ever seen. Seriously.

Can I ask how much $$$ and how long?

That's nice. You really have to look at all the before/after pics to see the differences, since some are really subtle. I can't get used to the white lettered tires, but that's just me. Surprisingly, i love them on Duhamel's bike....

Nice work. I used to work at a custom cycle shop, so i can appreciate the time and effort it takes to build a custom machine.

I'm not a big fan of the diamond plate undertail. It looks too industrial on a bike that has had so many other refinements. Carbon fiber or a dark tinted lexan material would have looked better. Some aftermarket wheels would add alot of "bling" & functionality as well.

Other than that its a pretty good looking bike. It's kinda reminds me of a superhawk/F4 & early model R6 all wrapped up into one with some ducati design cues. All in all an outstanding job.

Had I read the caption beneath the picture I would have caught that

The bike looks great though, just not entirely sold on the diamond plate...but its different, and for that I applaud you

That seat looks mighty comfy! I'm going to say that the only thing I dont like is the diamond plate tray. But that is some nice work!

You should be very proud! Excellent job! I, too, am not a big fan of the diamondplate undertail,but the fit and finish of your work looks awesome. The only change I would have done that is not in the pics is rearsets. NICE JOB!!!
