Yes, I know of the several common conversions that have been built here. I was just wondering if anyone knows if the 98-2005 Honda VTR1000 Superhawk has ever been tried? Reason being, I just grabbed one for parts as too cheap to not take it. I have no clue about this type and style of Hon. motorcycle. Swingarm is short. approx. 20" length. Think fork tubes are 41mm like the KZ-E1 shaft s trip tree. But whatever, just throwing this out here. Hoping I did not get stuck with a pile of scrap. Has a 90* V-twin engine [
this is a reference picture.
Thanks in advance for any opinions.
Marty
