Ah yeah, seems hawk are pipewerx's lower budget models. I bought mine used so not sure how much it would have been new.
I have a 96 CBR600 F3, so the same engine as the Hornet

Very nice! I do love the blue R6s more than my own if I'm honest.
My mate with his CBR600RR has been a let down since I passed my test. Asked a few weekends if he wants to go out for a ride but he never does so mostly been a lone rider
Cheers guys, not bad pics considering i used my IPhone 6, JunglistE if you're ever down south Wales bud give me a shout, I'm always ready to go for a ride.
Got a little Flyby vid too, really love the Leo Vince Corsa system, it's loud, but not painfully so, and just screams at the top end.

For the SV @Participant, can i suggest red rim tape and black/red shorty levers. Mine would pretty much have a twin then 
Although my end can is Fuel rather than Hawk

Tomorrow's job is to fit the tail tidy.
That really goes well with the bike, the tail tidy and possibly a rear hugger would complete that for me

Have you posted your bike in the new bike thread?
I too love the deep blue/black with gold on the wheels working real nice. Some bikes suit certain colours and not others quite so much. All personal preference though.
Love that road, it's one of my favourites, just have to be careful of the sheeps

I'll definitely take you up on that offer, judging by that one road looks like you have some awesome areas there!
I'm not too sure, I think I put one of the pictures of which it was advertised with. I'll have to put one up in there soon
What road is it? I recognise it but can't remember the name.
Ordered a tap and die set to try and fix up the mess of a thread in my new rear caliper, if all goes to plan and it fixes it then everything on the rear brake will be new now I've finally got a new pad spring on the way only took them a month to get hold of one 
Got all new bits for the front waiting to go on as well in that case it'll only be the discs left original.
So my stopping power at least should be good!
There's also a good splash of Ti fixtures and fittings being used now for no other reason than OEM prices are £lol, the difference between aftermarket SS and Ti isn't a great deal and lets face it Ti is cool.

Cheers, added it to my plan for Wales next year
If your in the area the Rhigos Rd (A4061) is pretty cool, just be careful lol it goes between Hirwuan and Treherbert. There's a mobile ice cream van at the top that does tea and coffee and the views are amazing.

Final parts of the ultimate RAM mount setup arrived 
Instantly removable, no nastyness left behind. Holds any phone. Also holds my iPhone which is waterproofed inside an UltimateAddons case.
Can even rotate it, have it to the side, etc.
Only problem is I'm now tempted to get the Galaxy S7 edge as it's waterproof out the box

Today i decided to go sliding across the road on my arse with it
Haven't been able to properly check the damage but the gear linkage has snapped off, the lever has somehow managed to survive though and the clutch lever was bent under the grip and has taken a chunk out of it.
Luckily it happened close to work though so was able to store it there and get a lift home.
The thing that is worrying me at the moment though is that the steering lock was difficult to engage, is it possible that i have bent something?
Also is it wrong that i was more worried about my helmet rather than myself or the bike?
